bubble cooling

[igottaknife]

I saw these clear tubes at Spencer gifts, you know the one that has the light and the plastic fishes floating inside. I was thinking if I could increase the airflow so that much more bubbles flow through it, wouldn't it make a pretty cool cooling tower for a water cooled computer?? I'd also try to make a lot of little bubbles for better surface area for the air that goes through. And it can be lit up (although dimly so that it doesn't heat up) and make a pretty nice piece of decoration or something.

Dang, that gave me an excelent idea! Instead of using a radator with a water cooler, why not just use the heat for your aquarium? Nice, warm fish!

Hmm...and then pull the water back out of your aquarium?
It'd work
Make sure you have a filter coming out of the aquarium

why not just boil the guppies?

you do not strengthen the weak by weakening the strong

Don't use Guppies! I would suggest Lobsters and Crabs. Then, if the water got too hot at least you would have a great meal. Guppies have no meat and they taste really bad!

you can use evaporation towers (already been done) and they are _very_ good. Down side is they are big and need constant refilling. They also raise the humidity in the room considerably.

yeah but that one that guy made was ugly.

but along your principles it could be made good - use clear acrylic pipe, wood chips or stone chips, a little neon and off you go - it could be a real feature...

now that I think of it the air escaping out of the top of the bubble shaft would be pretty high in humidity. A condensor core could be implemented much like the evaporator setup. I could use metal rods that the water would condense on and collect it at the bottom. Then reintroduce this water. Just a thought.

Well, of course it'd depend on the fish and how big the tank is. You could do it, if it was a huge tank, and you had tropical fish.
