Thanks again to REDMAGIC for sponsoring this video! Go to https://lmg.gg/duOgg to check out their TITAN 16 PRO gaming laptop today!

 

Brands love to say their electronics are “turbo charged”, but the turbo button, Intel turbo boost, and the Taycan Turbo S all share one thing… no turbo! Well today we’re changing that by attaching a 6.7hp electric turbo to a laptop.

Just when I was missing "Jank Cooling with Linus and Alex". Nice!

Clearly the next step is to mount a test rig on the outside of a car and see how fast you got to drive to get enough air across the heatsink to cool it. 😁

Also, jank ethanol boiling/evaporation cooling setup! Immerse the entire computer into ethanol and let it boil off, capture the vapour and send it through water jacket condensers to knock it back down. What could possibly go wrong with such a cooling setup 😎

Pedant here, an 'electric turbo' is actually a supercharger because a turbocharger is defined by the fact that it uses exhaust gasses to spin the shaft, where as a supercharger uses a non exhaust driven mechanical input to spin the shaft, like from a belt, direct gearing from the engine, or an electric motor. There are electric motor assisted turbochargers but the electric motor is used to reduce lag between throttle input and full boost, not to exclusively drive the turbocharger.

Build 4 desktop computers with tower coolers(including the GPUs), put them on top of the van with no fans, and have a mini-LAN party on the highway at 70mph.
