Designed for the French company Qarnot computing, Rømer exploits the heat of microprocessors to warm homes. Acting as an uncentralized data center, each unit is dissipating the heat generated by the computation of various tasks through a groundbreaking casted aluminum foam (castfoam©), ending up in a premium radiator and negative heating bills - energy being payed off by the computing service's clients.
Whereas classical data centers spend a huge amount of enery cooling their infrastructures, Rømer heater & the Qarnot network use the heat that would otherwise be wasted, reducing the carbon footprint of both the data centers & domestic heating by 78%.
