IBM has created a cooling system for its supercomputer processors that not only cools the data chips but uses the heat waste from the chips to help heat buildings. Talk about instant recycling! The water is cooled water is pumped through processors and the heated water that exits the processors is pumped through the floors of buildings and right now, dormitories! As the development gets cheaper, this process may soon be used as sellable energy.
A Beta version is already being used in Zurich!
