got to be joking.. an onboard radiator? A good idea but abit too far for me!
I thought much more were taking the..... with their cooling systems (fridge heatsink and now wire heatsink.... ) but this just takes the biscuit.. the theory is there but if someones car is getting so hot they need somthing as extreme as this then somthing isnt right.

haha, thats ace - bit spensive though I have to say. but cool

If that actualy wrapped around 3/4 of the motor can, and they provided you with thermal paste too, then I might think, yes, it would work, but for a small plate, it is completely down the wrong end of the motor.

As far as cooling goes (TC related as we speak), the 'get it as cold as possible before racing' gets my vote, fans just seem a waste of time unless you get plenty of cold air right into the comm, as it is, most of the cooling air does nowt.

just thinking, with the like of the T2 and Corally, the whole rear end acts as a heatsink, so sticking something inbetween also seems a little, erm, odd, think they best stick to CPU cooling.

Hi,
Seems to have been developed by Richard Weatherley & co.
I have been experimenting with in car cooling, liquid cooling seems average as it can only go down the ambient air temperature, compared to Peltier cooling which can below the ambient. There are fors and against regarding the different in car cooling solutions.
I have though, gone back to the ''the 'get it as cold as possible before racing' '' philophosy and created a Motor freezer. This seesm to work increadably well. Pics attached. PM for more details.

Regards

Where do you get a peltier like that ? how much ? seems to work rather well - I had a go on the muchmore one when I was at the Euros and it got the motors cold but certainly not freezing (but it was a hot day)
