You can expand on a design, by making numerous iterations of it, and make very small changes, to basically optimize a particular design.
I'd like to see a Cascade style block development; I'd love to do it myself, but I'm nowhere near having all the equipment. The Cascade style block is the most challenging one, if you ask me. I'd like to see various cup spacing, different inlet diameters and spacing. It's a lot of work, and can involve working with some very fine parts.

Out of my capability unfortunately. Also who would use the information gathered? Not going to further assist manufactures with free R&D. That kind of stuff is way out of the DIY league anyway.

Direct die cooling seems like it would produce excellent results, but would definitely be even harder to pull off than phase change.

I am not touching Rads, maybe pH can do that. To complicated to test for me and no way to make a prototype on any design we came up with. The prototype would be commercial anyway. I know of 3 outfits that already have superior radiator designs anyway. The only hold up is lack of market. The cost of tooling up to make such a thing would be well more than money made from it.
I have already done direct die cooling. No reason to pursue it.
