Has anyone thought of making a cooling system like the vapochill but using Nitrous Oxide instead? At liquid it's cold stuff and it's easily obtainable. Any thoughts?

Uuh. Weyell, it will surely make you feel better about your cooling prowess.
Is that a poncho, or a Sears poncho?

The cooling effect does take place when the coolant is transformed from a coolant to gas, but the gas goes right back into a compressor to become nitrous again... doesn't leak out into the room.

ok... my only question is then...how much heat is created by the compression cycle? more or less than you gain...

that stuff is flammable really really flammable and since you would have to compress it remove the heat [fan] then run that liquid through your cpu your just asking for trouble if you like big boom boom go for it.
please find another liquid to work with leave this stuff for your car.
While some horsepower gained is attributed to the -10 degrees intake equals +1% horsepower effect, Most of the horsepower comes from the oxygen that's in N2O being combusted (that's why N2O systems require extra fuel).Kryten (Apr 25, 2001 03:05 a.m.):

contry to popular belief N2O is not as flamable as many would believe, in fact many people missunderstand how N2O works.
when the N2O leaves the soloniod it turns from liquid to gas many people know this, what isn't so well know is how N2O makes the extra power, when the N2O turns to gas it causes a cooling effect (to put it mildly) when the fuel and air that is in the cylinder comes in contact with the gas, it shrinks due to the extreme cold thus allowing more petrol and air into the cylinder making for a bigger bang.
But it's still OK to put it in the trunk of your car, right?Shadow ÒÓ (Apr 25, 2001 05:16 a.m.):I really hope you'd know better than to bring an explosive material in your house, much less your computer.
