How about a liquid cooled heatsink

[Eldorado828]

If your amp section runs hot, just liquid cool it instead!

Heck a creative that's for sure.

Mega AM stations have been running liquid cooling for many years, with ponds and fountains to cool water.
It looks a bit much for a mobile.
I guess.

Have to wonder if he was inspired by a computer liquid cooling setup. The pumps, lines, and radiator look like they're for that sort of application. Props to him for following through on his idea and making it work, though. He's probably going to be inundated by people wanting to duplicate his setup.

I want to see how he does his big amp.

I have played with the idea before using a Peltier cooler but the problem was with moisture was a big issue and problem.

The Peltier create a lot of heat to get cool the cooling. I played with those lookng for a comuter processor cooling idea. They definitely cooled the processor, but also created a lot of heat in the process..

This would certainly work for a solid state base amp. I put it together 13 years ago for my PC then. The concept is what is important. No fans, no radiators, no heat, no internal noise, no condensation. Variable temp sub-ambient cooling so you can keep it just above the dew point. Just need a window that an AC can fit in. in 2010, I spent $120 for everything except the water blocks.

110 AC window unit (mine was a 12K BTU), Rubbermade cooler, PC water pump & res., tubing, connectors, insulation, wetter water additive, 6 gallons distilled water (low specific gravity anti-freeze could be used too).
Compressor on frequency is determined by the heat load.
