Engineering enthusiasts in Irkutsk have transformed an machine which aids in mining crytocurrency into a power generator for private housing with their project called Cryptohouse. 'Cryptohouse' is a new generator that turns the heat produced by Bitcoin miners into private heating energy for the monthly cost of about $430. Irkutsk has some of the cheapest electricity in Russia, but it also gets very cold in Siberia in the winter, so the new invention from Cryptohouse provides the double benefit of warmth and income.
As climate change drives drought, and the rising global population drives food demand, the world's food security is ever more precarious. But struggling farmers may find relief from the soaring temperatures from the sun itself--and the technology that harnesses its power. HuffPost reports students at the University of Arizona noticed that vegetables grown under the cover of solar panels flourished during the hottest summer on record. The observation provided food for thought for Prof. Greg Barron-Gafford’s research in 'agrivoltaics': growing food and generating solar energy on the same land. The concept could fulfill the need for land on which to build new solar installations while also helping farmers stay afloat. It’s a case where one plus one could equal more than two.
