more pics to follow.
 
Its a silver nano tube fluid weve created from the ground up as a one off product for this build. Basicly put we using liquid silver to cool the PC. Next im going to attempt to do a real nano gold coolant once this build is complete.

Is it any good..... In theory yes but we will run results and comparisons later on, the main aim was to see if we could do it first. How ever it is a can it be done concept and if so how do we do it.

Approx £2,000 a ltr for the silver fluid. This build took 1.4 Ltrs and we have 5 Ltrs left :).

These is one massive down side, if this drops on any components it "WILL" destroy them, it is metal after all :).

The R&D has taken 3 years to create it and make it work. Including into the price the following which you havent added

£50,000 For nano analyser and zeta potential system (does not include vials @ £200 per set)
£15,000 for mill (this is a cheaper version) some spend upwards of £45,000
£450 for viscosity meter
£80 for the refractometer
£4,000 for zirconium yttrium stabilized jars
£2,000 for zirconium yttrium stabilized ball's

Havant added up the price of all the other equipment we have to make it.

Fluid research and the ball ache its created well that is worth at least 1 to 2 thousand.

yup its cheap to make it :) on your kitchen top.

Question is, was it worth it all?

Personally yes it was worth even minute of dev time, The experience alone can be moved over to aurora to aid in perfecting it. But above all i've achieved some thing never done before and feel pretty dammed proud about it.
 
lmao :D



So is this be viable as a 24/7 long-term fluid if it wasnt cost prohibitive?

So far results are looking better than expected how ever only long term testing will give us that answer as this is something never done before. Science doesn't hold all the answers :).
 
Aurora is easy to make a basic version (we have no issues with ppl trying to copy it, we only want ppl to know the issues involved from what we've learnt over the years), but to make a legal "REACH" complaint version it isn't so easy especially with all the doc's you have to fill in ect ect. So many laws, regulations and stuff to go though it can be a bit of a pain. When you send bulk liquids to say China there are lots of hoops to jump though and the same goes for USA. Each country has laws you have to follow and learn.

The above fluid isn't like aurora how ever and it would be a nightmare to do in bulk and then comply with all the new regulations covering nano fluids. If you look at testing for say pastel (nano fluid) there are 4 tests that have to be done so it complies with regulations in the EU alone. We cannot wait till the chinese rip off copies come out from other companies whom are trying to copy us as we will send them off for extra testing and if they fail we will follow it up.

Lots of info here -> http://www.hse.gov.uk/reach/index.htm

And this is Just for the EU.

The same goes for tubing a lot of the tubing from china is illegal under UK / EU law. If we were total ass hats we could get them all banned from the UK / EU unless they could prove EU compliance. I know a certain other company whom we work with, requested all the legal info from us and doc's to prove our compliance. Luckily enough we all ready had it done before hand but a few mistakes did pop up that we had to rectify. We want to do it right and get it right so that we know every thing we do is complaint with all regulations and laws and this has taken us years to learn it (and were still learning to this date).

One thing to consider when dealing with chemicals is this -> If you get it wrong your in poo

What are the penalties for non-compliance?

The REACH Enforcement Regulations 2008 provide that it is an offence for a person to contravene a 'listed REACH provision' or to cause or permit another person to do so.

The Enforcement Regulations allow for a person in breach of a listed REACH provision to be tried summarily (e.g. in Magistrates Courts) or on indictment (e.g. in Crown Courts). The same potential maximum penalty applies for each provision, namely up to the maxima permitted under the European Communities Act 1972. These are:

up to £5,000 fine and/or up to three months imprisonment following summary conviction;

and

an unlimited fine and/or up to two years imprisonment following conviction on indictment.

The Enforcement Regulations also provide for a number of other criminal offences. These include obstruction of inspectors, providing false statements, failing to comply with enforcement notices, and so on. These additional offences are also the subject of penalties, which are the same as those above.

One of the things Mayhems is going to go for soon is ISO 9001 compliance and registration. Another reason why we test, test and test more and then document every thing we do.
