AMILABS Develops the Industry?s First Truly Green Server.
Wantagh, New York, October 1st, 2007
Applied Methodologies, Inc.(AMI) research division AMILABS, is pleased to introduce the industry?s first truly green server. Dubbed the ThermoGreen Server?, it is a server that can not only comply to current energy efficient green standards but also generates energy in the process. AMILABS is currently developing other ThermoGreen Systems? such as a ThermoGreen Router? and ThermoGreen Switch?.
An example application of this technology would be to turn your data center into a small power generating utility. While your data center assets continue to work in their respective manner they are also co-generating energy with no impact to their operating condition. The energy generated from a data center?s servers or other ThermoGreen Systems? can be used to offset data center power consumption costs and contribute to global green initiatives.
Each individual ThermoGreen Server? can recursively use the energy it generates to reduce its own draw of power supplied from the local utility. Equally the ThermoGreen Server? can distribute the energy generated from multiple ThermoGreen Servers? onto a power distribution network to scale the energy generated as a whole for other uses.
A ThermoGreen Server? can comprise of any type of computing platform and form factor from any manufacture. Older servers can be converted to a ThermoGreen Server? to generate energy while still being employed. OEMs can build new servers as ThermoGreen Servers?. ThermoGreen Servers? utilizing 80 Plus type power supplies and low idle wattage main board based systems can assist in reducing power consumption costs even further.
A ThermoGreen Server? or system is environmentally sound, RoHS and Energy Star 4.0 compliant.
Energy can be generated from one or more ThermoGreen Systems? thus turning your data center assets into a small power generating utility.

I smell canned luncheon meat. Yuck...
Fellas, as a long time technology professional I was just curious if they were going to do something like this. This is no scam or marketing lie. It does work. We have a few prototypes and can scale the energy generated to power other loads. We are working in a niche science that does lend itself to today?s computing devices in terms of power consumption. I could not outline exactly how we do this due to the patent process but if you follow some of the links it is somewhat self explanatory. And yes efficiencies have increased. So to obtain usable energy levels you can optimize and scale per device and for many devices. This is not "snake oil", just the work of a semi retired technology consultant.

Good luck, hope it becomes economically viable.
I couldn't glean much usable information from the web site you linked to though. Yes there is a lot of wasted energy generated by computers and capturing it should be a goal.

I think what he's describing is possible... in 30 years.
In the meantime, I assume he plans to take servers from Dell or HP and paint them with green paint as a stopgap.
