A lot of this energy is output as heat, which needs to be cooled back down in data centers.
That’s the basic concept behind Hestiia, which takes a miner, puts it on a radiator on your wall, and uses the excess heat from mining for coins to heat your house.
The use of conductive layers and heat pipes ensures efficient heat transfer, making the most of the emanated warmth.
The dual-core heating system provides both convection and radiant heating, and the system is controlled via an app, which enables the user to set the desired temperature.
With data centers consuming vast amounts of electricity and producing heat that is often wasted, Hestiia’s approach offers a sustainable solution.
