| Dec 11, 2014 at 17:31 | comment | added | user16035 | @Aron I modified the answer accordingly. However, if we take the question/answer too seriously, it should be re-posted on a chemical engineering exchange. Any extreme cooling will cause condensation, although the ethanol in my solution should absorb quite a bit of water. | |
| Dec 2, 2014 at 9:09 | comment | added | Aron | @Lenzuola This system would cause dangerous condensation in the rig. You would need to insulate all cooling equipment to the extreme to prevent the rig shorting out (that or you dehumidify the air completely). | |

| Jan 3, 2014 at 22:52 | comment | added | Optionparty | Does your CPU actually produce 625 watts of heat, or is that the computer ratting? Freeze the ethanol+water mixture in a small bladder, zip-lock bag or condom. Then the % mixtures will not get changed in step 3 above. Since you are up for experimentation the "latent heat of vaporization" from phase change, takes considerable heat, as compared to liquid conductance. | |
