What We're Watching: Exowatt Revives 1800s Tech to Power the AI Era

Can 1800s technology power our AI future? Exowatt’s modular energy system promises nonstop, low-cost renewable power.
Oct. 22, 2025

In today's video, Ricky from the YouTube channel Two Bit da Vinci sits down with Exowatt engineers to explore the company's groundbreaking modular energy solution, built to meet the skyrocketing power demands of data centers and other energy-intensive industries.

It's no secret that the rapid rise of AI is straining global energy resources. From large language models to enterprise automation, nearly every sector is using AI to boost efficiency and innovation—yet doing so consumes massive amounts of power.

Exowatt's answer isn't to invent something entirely new, but to reimagine technologies that have been around for centuries. By combining solar concentration, thermal storage, and heat-to-power conversion inside a single modular unit, the company is creating a path toward reliable, low-cost, and round-the-clock renewable energy.
