#bitcoin mining under a vacuum.
Water boils at 104F/40C when under a vacuum down to 1psi. So any particular part of the #bitcoin miner that’s hotter that this the water will boil and turn to vapour travel up and away and be immediately replaced by more less than 104F/40C water. The vapour rises and as long as there’s a heat exchanger up top that’s cooler the water will re-condense and so the process repeats.

Is this theoretical? Or already works in practice?
Theoretical for a miner, practically used on plastic injection moulding tools.
Know any miners who tried or might be interested in this?

Happy to help anyone, the hardest part is keeping the vacuum sealed. As you can only pull the vacuum when it’s cold and seal it up. If you pull the vacuum while hot the water boils and the vapour goes straight into the pump which removes the liquid from the chamber.

This is a good example.
Always worth breaking your $2,000 computer into little pieces to try and discover things like whether chips can be cooled via passive heat exchange 😂.. haha just kidding.... I think this next halving will bring about some interesting new experiments.... Some via necessity and others via eureka moments.
I agree, it’s exciting!
