Re: Measuring Power dissipation emperically

The water was only a example... It has a much larger specific heat than
almost any other substance.

I saw that site you mentioned several years ago: If you go a few pages back:

"the hardware was placed in a container in which five gallons of de-ionized
water were poured. To everybody's amazement, the system ran solidly for a
period of five minutes before crashing. We repeated the assembly numerous
times after the hardware was dried. The expensive components had suffered no
damage. Accordingly, this solution was deemed unviable."

So water might work for low voltage with no problem for small devices. I'm
not talking about sticking a whole pcb in there but just an IC.

I imagine water might be able to work for a cpu cooler too(I was plan on
trying the oil idea when I brought a new computer). If one could remove the
ions periodically then it might not be a problem. (no ions should be able to
get in if sealed properly)

There are probably some better liquids out there but water was just an
example. (and probably would work just for simple cases)
