Well you know a while back compressed air was used to get some crazy temperatures?

What sort of CFM would this have been putting out?
What BAR (or PSI) would be in an aerosol of compressed air?

Because i have a sort of plan. I assume you're familiar with digital tyre inflater's?

So you would have to have an air piston of some sort constantly compressing air into a container, while the container has a constant outlet on the object you want to cool? The piston would have to be able to fill it at a speed the same as it's being released, and it would have to fill the canister before it started to release the air...

Complicated, but i think it can be done. Would be a lot cheaper than the other forms of extreme cooling too. Another problem would be the noise... hmm.

Meh, pelts don't really solve the problem of heat output. They just move the problem. I prefer Phase Change.

Wait... you can get a 170W pelt for less than £10?

With seperate loops, pelts connecting them?
