Abstract

An information processing system (TS) includes: a set of information processing devices forming a plurality of electrical circuits (C1, C2, C3 . . . Cn) supplied with power via a power supply source (S), cooling elements (MR) being placed near at least part of the electrical circuits; at least one Stirling engine, the cooling elements (MR) of which form a hot source and produce a mechanical movement (Mvt) on the basis of a temperature differential (ΔT) between the hot source and a cold source (SF); and a generator (G) providing an electric current (iG) on the basis of the mechanical movement.
