Ok bit of a random idea but started thinking about this a couple of days ago. As we all know a TEC cooler uses electricity to create a hot and cold plate i was wondering could u take the same pinciple of a TEC cpu cooler and apply the same technique with a radiator. I know its a bit crazy but just thought it would be awesome if u could remove extra heat by turning a rad into a TEC rad anyone have any thoughts ?
Am i nuts ?

Yea it was just a theory kinda knew what the answer would be anyway but the idea could work in theory. As in having two radiators one receiving the hot water where it would be electrically passed to the second radiator thus removing heat from the main rad. Like i said its just a theory but in theory that should work and also it should work as in the real world just sadly the physics behind TEC hasnt been utilised properly yet (well i think it hasnt as all the TEC cpu coolers i have seen have been terrible at cooling even though just a normal freezer 7 can remove heat better and physics dicates that it should be better just shame it isnt).
I probably will never try it as it would involve a lot of research but the idea behind it is sound. Maybe one day when cooling is a more serious problem some companies might play around more with the idea of TEC.
Btw jellybeard u saying that TEC coolers actually pump more heat than there was present or ? Reason why i thought of it in the first place is that its the only way i can think of getting the temps below the ambient temperature of the room without going phased changed cooling.
