contrib.andrew.cmu.edu — Cooler, quieter computers and [possibly] warmer pool water with very little extra cost and added energy savings. This rig has been running successfully since 8/06 (knock knock). It's a really cool idea, if you have a pool!

His best idea is actually at the bottom of the page, putting the heat exchanger on his AC in a circulated box that runs from pool water. I'd love to hear how much more efficient the AC is from that, and that might produce enough heat to actually have a noticeable effect on the temp of the pool.

If the tubes did manage to last, I hope that this pool of his is in the Bahama's because, with that setup, a winter freeze will be sure to take care of you.

Why a pool? Is this overkill? Why not just toilet water or from a valve under your sink?

Bad idea yes, but this was probably done [if it was actually done, it could have been staged just for photos] so it could make he rounds a digg, slashdot, furl, or insert a site here. for that its worked.

if isps did this (for the ones that do hosting) i think they would be minipowerplants and get a little extra money on the side"Now AT&T does Electricity with the HP steam plan ask your local AT&T agent today"

Cool, original idea.
