Sex lube as cooling liquid

[Tempestspy]

Just got a crazy idea. Would sex lube be a good cooling liquid? Why did I thought of it? It's thicker than water therefore it'll stay inside the radiator longer than water. Did anyone tried this yet?

Utter nonsense. This makes no sense and has no possible way to be anything but random neurons firing in your brain. This won't work in any way thermally or fluidly.

Nope. It is too viscous to be able to be pumped and will have 99.99% chance of killing your pump and clogging up your tubing. You should just use water or glycol as a coolant.

Are you fricking crazy? That water will act as thermal insulator, not thermal conductor. Same with when you apply to much thermal paste, it will turn to a heat-barrier.

 

I try it before, but with condom lube.

If your goal is to have the coolant stay in the rad longer, just turn down the pump speed.

Glycol? It's ok to run alchohol based substance in the rad?

The vast majority (all?) coolants are glycol based.

Thanks for this!

Yes actually. Have used windshield washer fluid in chiller loops for many many years now. Mostly water, the alcohol simply reduces the freezing point. Plus it's a nice blue color.

Ahhhhh thanks for the idea
