Mineral Oil Miner

Heat had become an issue inside because of the mining rig. 

 

Short video of the rig.

 

6 - R9 280x - one card down in the video.

 

 

 

 

This will be an ongoing project.

The pump you can see in the video was my first guess.

The second pump was almost enough. I combined the two and flow looked good.

I also bought a cheap bilge pump from china for testing.

I bought the tubing to fit the second pump.

I never knew you could find radiators for this cheap. until now.

Bought two fans that should have fit on the same side. They didn't fit well enough. I switched the polarity on one of the motores to run in reverse. I'm sure it's not very efficient. The solution works for now though.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003U7UR3A/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Ordered 5 gal of mineral oil. I would love to use the 3m fluid, but it's out of the budget. This cheap stuff has worked fine so far. Makes a good laxative too.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HHLUE6/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This oil is a better solution.

Amazon Prime did this to me.

I already had a few parts lying around. I'm not sure the cost of theses parts or the availability. 

I used shark bite tubing and fittings to plum the radiator. They fit snug in the main radiator inlet and outlet. 

I used some 2 part marine epoxy to hold them in.

The adapter to the tubing. http://www.sharkbite.com/product/polybutelene-adapters/

 

I used an old PSU to power the smaller pump and the radiator fans.

What an idea! That's cool!

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)
