I know this has probably been done (are there any truely NEW ideas in water-cooling anymore?)
but I'm posting here to show the block that I'm currently working on. (I'm stepping out to the garage to begin working on it after I post this)
First off, here's a render of the block from 3DstudioMax (I use it to brainstorm on ideas)
picture description:
1.) small grooves in a spiral shape from center cone to start water spinning in a circular motion (increase turbulance)
2.) Lexan disk in center is attached to end of water input barb
3.) Lexan top chamber with barb comming off side at an angle for the water output (set to continue the circular water-flow)
water flow description:
1.) water flows in center over small cone on bottom of block
2.) water is set in a CW spin from grooves on center cone
3.) water flows to outside edge (centrifugal force from the spin)
4.) water flows to top chamber past the edge of the disk (aprox. 1/8" space all the way around)
5.) water continues CW spin around top chamber, and flows out through barb in the side.
This is all going in my setup with the 642gph Rio pump
I want feedback, but only if you have something constructive to say (please no "that design sucks" without an explanation as to why it would suck)
