**Bitcoin mining air-conditioner proof of concept!** A S19 KPro running at 1400w on 110v power blows hot air past a radiator coated with wet zeolite clay inside an empty s19 enclosure. The moisture in the wet clay aggressively evaporates as the hot dry air blows past it creating a cooling effect. The cooled water from the radiator is pumped to a second radiator which absorbs heat and humidity from the air creating a cooler ambient air temperature. This is just the initial setup to see if the concept even remotely works. It's clear from a few sort tests that it is working so I'll continue to iterate on the design. #bitcoin #bitcoinmining #plebminer #homesteading #permaculture #permies #meshtadel #homemining #doublespendenergy #hash2heat #mine4heat #mining

Depends on your cold side temp. I was thinking the opposite direction. That we could reuse a lot of readily available apparatus to make cooling out of miner heat if the temp for the ammonia conversion was lower. When I saw it didn't work I figured I'd post anyway to save anyone else with the same thought the hassle of looking up that temperature.

Great project! Look into evaporative cooling pads and structured packaging. Make sure to also add some form or water reservoir to act as a continuous water supply, so it never gets dry and achieve the opposite effect you want!

This is really "cool". In summer when solar electricity is abundant there is more value in cooling rather than heating. Are you familiar with "absorption cooling"?
Yeah, the next level is absorbtion. It's just not as simple as evaporaton for me. I try to use what I have already as much as possible. Absorbtion is how I would do a refrigerator or freezer.
Proof of concept: Bitcoin mining air-conditioner! It's working! Checkout the latest update on the air-conditioner. It's cooling, it's working! I'm proud to be a finalist in the @ATL BitLab l Battle of the mine hackers hackathon! This is the kind of thing that makes it easier for the everyday pleb to participate in Bitcoin maximally! #bitcoin #bitcoinmining #homemining #plebminer

Especially if you can make valuable use of the thermal energy transformed to coldth

He's interested in using ASICs for not only heating, but also cooling. He'd appreciate the fuck out of this.

Tell him to get on here so we can talk about Ray Peat.

To clarify and sum it up , it can be done(at least I believe personally ) with hydro miners putting out 75c water and the adsorption chillers needing 70c minimum to operate .. it’s tricky cause they are currently large scale units (30 ton) and use ammonia. But I’ve been asking as digging deeper and found some more people who maybe working on it . It’s open source idea now , and a race to products :):) More as it develops? Hash2cool ?
Anyone seen this? A way to take asic heat and make cool air?
