greenman: if you read my post you would see that i said i did an experiment where i clamped a pipe to an aluminium plate, and the plate felt just as hot as the pipe for about 5cm. thats without squashing the pipe at all
in this design the pipe would be squashed quite a bit, increasing contact area a lot.
so with the fin length im using, its not an issue at all.
bobkoure: pity about the heat register pipe fins being the wrong way.
im confident this will work well
i'll hopefully have it built within a week or 2
