    This looks interesting. I have no doubt that their numbers have been chosen to seem a little more impressive, but it’s an interesting idea for a “evaporative heatsink” in this way.

    The main issue would probably be the humidity coming off this thing while cooling, so it would probably need an engineering solution for to keep the pad exposed to the atmosphere but the components isolated from the humidity. That would probably only really be practical for larger scales like servers etc, so this wouldn’t be in home PCs anytime soon.

      You could collect the condensation into a cup that you can drink and then pee back into the system. Cycle of life.
