    Exclamation Carbon, graphite, graphite foam block and rad ideas

    OK, since Dinos22 nicked the subject in the other thread ( http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=137493 )I'm posting this here.
    He asked if the whole carbon cooler thing could be made to work in WC setups.
    My intention by this thread is to get some brainstorming going on this subject to see where it will lead us.
    Last 2 days I was browsing the net looking for info on Graphite blocks and foams and stuff.
    I have downloaded quite a bit of formal pdfs and links with lots of interesting stuff to learn.
    Since it is a lot to read and English is not my language, It will take me a while to absorb all the stuff that could be use full to us.
    I uploaded all the files in one 13,5 MB rar archive on rapidshare.

    Anybody who is interested please download and at least glance over it.
    "Serious folks" are considering all these concepts and are exited, but the process is slow, but we can build and play ourselves.
    The idea was done before of course (LONG before actually yr 2001). by this guy: http://www.spodesabode.com/content/article/poco
    He used foam named Pocofoam in his DIY block and while his method of implementation was somewhat crude by todays standards, but it was a cool idea that never caught on. pics are below...
    The sample he used is today even better and there are 2 versions of the stuff on pocographite site.
    That same foam is a hard substance and can be machined as desired.
    The whole concept is even more envisioned by other industries as using the GF instead of fins on heat exchangers, radiators or regular heat sinks.
    Funny thing is they also have a online store: http://www.pocographiteonline.com/servlet/StoreFront
    Their web page is www.poco.com

    Other graphite and carbon products can be found for example here:
    http://www.graphitestore.com/index.asp no foam though.

    Any info numbers and links feel free to contribute here.
    Sorry for the long post.
    Remember let's keep a positive note in this thread, please not a lot of posts how this and that won't work but rather how and why to make it work.

    Thanks guys-gals for all your ideas and input you put into this thread and for your time in participating.
    I'm sure we'll make something of it, it is XtremeSystems after all if we can't do it nobody can!
