Lost In The Fog

You're epoxying over your bolts? So the only way this is coming apart is with a blow torch or a sledge hammer?
 
No tweaking allowed!
 
Probably better than if I built it. I'd over-engineer the shit out of everything, it would sure work, but probably take me 2 months and cost a small fortune.

I've got faith buddy! It's gonna be killer.

We need to come aware about what we are doing and stop be capitalistic for ourselves.

That's debatable, IMHO. "Capitalism does not have a finish line." And it doesn't assume that things just appear, magically, from the æther, either.

The problem is that there has never been a true capitalistic civilization. At the rate we're going, there never will be. Capitalism is neither socialism nor a welfare state.

Calling any nation a capitalistic one is like calling the US a democracy (it's more and more of a stretch to even consider it a representative republic - which is what it is supposed to be).

Some (quite a few, actually) believe that this is exactly what we've been doing for decades. But they don't define "progress" as a smaller and faster cell phone, of course.

Sooo the best thing is to build a water cooler made up from various discards for my Logic boards.

I've seen them built out of window air conditioners. Had concerns about possible contamination, myself. But if you're not using any of that water to supply moisture to your plants, are instead only using it for cooling, it's always an option. Having to cool a thing so that you can then use that thing to cool something else isn't exactly efficient - but that's generally how we cool... anything, I suppose.

Naw, we can aim. You're thinking of the "spray and pray" sort, mostly found in the Middle East (for now).

"Liquid Carbon Cooling", that sounds cool.
Click to expand...

Sounds like EDIT (for language) marketing speak to me, lol. I mean... HtH do you get liquid carbon? At reasonable pressure, that is. The stuff doesn't melt, it sublimates. If you increase the pressure to around ten atmospheres, you can melt carbon - at 6,442°F / 3,550°C.

Liquid sodium cooling, OtOH... Great for cooling your fast breeder reactor ;) . Has something like a 1,400°F temperature range at which it actually is a liquid. That tends to make up for some of its disadvantages (burns when it comes in contact with air, explodes when it comes in contact with water, reacts with many things, et cetera). The one big disadvantage that's difficult to ignore (although people seem to be pretty good at ignoring it, come to think of it) is that it appears to be more or less impossible, at this point in time, to create a leak-proof sodium-cooled fast reactor. If we spent half the effort on figuring out wireless electricity transmission that we spend on things like "wearable gadgets," we'd already have the things in orbit (possibly around someone else's planet, lol), where it'd be safer. Of course it's harder to shed heat in a vacuum. Hmm...

The beauty of reality: Every solution comes with lots of exciting new problems :rofl: .
 
I'll take some of that carbon if it becomes a diamond?? Oh that's heat and pressure.

But I see on u-tube all kinds of people water cooling LEDs and HPS lamps. Interesting reads........
 
Yeah, the concept has been around for years, although FrescaSol is the only brand name I know of.

It helps that we don't have to actually cool the HIDs, merely move (at least the majority of) the heat that they produce to some location other than the grow space.
 
I seen acouple grows with them lamps. You could place your hand on the glass. Alittle chiller in his Res. He had a small grow, 2 1000 watters over a 4X8 flood table doing flood and ebb shit. They were a trip.
 
Trippy to see some of the modifications people are doing to water cool LED lamps.

The Fresa's are really just a cool tube with cold water instead of air. I'll say the water did come out of the units,, they were daisy chained, was warmer. That small increase keeps going out if you got a small res, temps can really get up there after a bit. A chiller, to me, seem needed. Still, a great option for tent grows. Tubing instead of ductwork

But these people drilling and water cooled LED. I'm totally out of my element with LED, but they doing some shit....
 
Yikes looked like what they used on my teeth? JK And they are still there....


And sounds like a plan to hold the old grill'''' together... But it the best way to, make a permeate hold on what you might need............. I wondered what the light coming out myself was as far as power per watt.... He did well...............
Dude kicked out nice buddage every 2 months

But he could have over lite the footprint with minimal heat in the flower room, But I see no trouble if a person 'could' run 2 1000 watter HPS in a 4X8 tent????????????? Year-round.............. Sweet lighting set-up........ More then a tent needs contained...........
 
The plastic weld went smooth. A little fiddly with that epoxy but it went over my expectations. Think I've got an water tight weld no air bubbles and the white sanding scratches disappeared. Going to let it dry at least 24h before testing. Now I got two more to construct if this has no leaks. :)
