Superheat has released a hybrid device: a water heater costing $2,000 with an integrated ASIC miner.

Recently, an unusual development has appeared on the market — the company Superheat has created an electric water heater that functions simultaneously as a Bitcoin miner. The device costs $2000.

How the hybrid system works

The main concept of the product lies in its dual functionality. The device uses a specialized ASIC chip for Bitcoin mining, while the generated computational heat is used to heat water. This achieves a compensation effect — the income from mining should cover the hot water expenses.

Energy consumption features

The energy costs of the water heater remain at the level of ordinary household appliances of this class. However, the manufacturer does not provide open information about the exact power of the equipment and its hash rate (TH/s). This creates uncertainty when calculating the actual efficiency and payback period of the device for the end user.

The innovative approach allows combining two tasks in one device, but full transparency of technical parameters would be helpful for assessing the practical value of this solution.
