This is my first time doing something like this and I'm learning as I go. My youtube video is probably not as clear in it's explanation as it could be, thats one of the things I've learned. I may actually post a link to this forum on my youtube comments so people might get a better idea of what it's about.
I'm grateful for all your interest. I live in the uk and I was hoping to get a uk magazine called micromart to test the thing for me. I've e-mailed them but so far no reply.
What motivated me to make the cooler?
Well heat pipes are a solid state phase change cooling device, no moving parts, no having to pump power into them. All you have to do is maintain a temperature difference between the evaporator which can be anywhere on the device ( the middle of the U shape in this case ) and the condensor ( everywhere else on the length of the pipe ) and you got instant phase change cooling. I think they are elegant.
Would cooling them with water instead of air improve their performance? Could it possibly improve on the perfomance of conventional water cooling blocks? I need to know. I've looked into it and have found one other example: the rx2 ufo, but I've got to say I found it a bit unsatisfying.
