let me know if my thinking is wrong. if i take an open toped res. of about 8 inches in diameter by lets say 10 inches tall and run a single 4 inch verticle pipe or some sort of tube( or maybe a small cluster of 1 inch pipes) straight up for total of about ...lets say 2 feet. and have just enough pressure to cause the water to run out and spill down the sides of the pipes back down into the res., would that provide enough cooling. the entire verticle pipe(s) would be heated by the water, then as the water spills over the sides in a thin sheet it would shed its own heat out into the air as well as transfering the heat off the sides of the pipe. double cooling. probelms i see are: haveing a strong enough pump may be impossible to keep quiet, there may not be enough flow to make it work, and there may just not be enough water ther to do the job. maybe a bigger res. and then use the multiple smaller pipes to reduce the amount of lifet the pump has to do. talk to me.
