For the maximum efficiency in BONG science, I would like to make a suggestion to the adventurous. It has been said many times that you cannot recover the fluids in a bong without losing all effectiveness. I'm going to prove that wrong and show how it can be done, just cos I'm a frickin' stud (like the ego?).

Using a vacuum evaporator (sold by lab equipment companies), you can evaporate water in very little time. Similar to the "rain tunnel" in a bong, this will cause the leftover coolant to drop in temperature, as energy is drawn from it into the steam. Since the steam is constantly drawn out of the res by the vacuum evaporator, the fluid will be evaporating like a mofo, leaving really cold water behind.

The steam from the evaporator is then passed into a large chamber of your devising that will have massive internal surface area. Think of a large vertical section of PVC tubing filled with tennis balls. Clear PVC will cause your system temps to drop just because how 1337 it is (or maybe not). Toward the bottom you will have a "Y" section similar to a bong, but instead of a fan, you'll leave it open with 4x layers of scotch brite or so blocking exit to collect every last little bit of water you can, so the driest air possible leaves the system. We want to collect it right? Right. Since there is nowhere for the heat to go in the condensor (the big tube with balls in it), the water will be warm upon condensation.

Now, we have warm water in the condensor, and cold water in the evaporator. What do we do with all that, you may ask? Well, first, with the cold water, we pump it through a heat exchanger, where it can absorb heat from the CPU, of course! Think a nice sized Lytron HE or something. Nice chillin' CPU temps will result.

What about the condensate? Well, we're going to cool the f*ck out of it! In my diagram, from the condensation chamber, run a hose from there through the biggest damn radiator you can find with some nice quiet fans on it. On the output end, you're going to want to have 75% go to the top of the condensation chamber to run down the ping pong balls, helping the condensation come along and lowering the temps in there in general. 25% or so will go back to the evaporation chamber to replenish the constantly evaporating stock.

That said, you will want the evaporation chamber to be made out of Lexan or Plexiglass for monitoring. You will want a decent sized vacuum area ("air space") so you won't accidentally flood the vacuum evaporator during tuning. That would f*ck it up bad.

First fill a gallon into the evap chamber, and a gallon into the condensation chamber. Start the evaporator, and when you notice the level dropping, turn on the pump to the radiator with the return valve from the rad to the evap chamber closed. Slowly open it up (you will need an accurate valve) until the water level stays steady. Once it has run like this for a while you can stop monitoring it. Turn on the pump to the heat exchanger to get fluid running to cool your CPU block, and you're on your way to chillin' CPU temps in the ultimate scientifically designed uber-bong!!!
