Just had an idea for another method of exotic cooling.

 

Liquid nitrogen but with a twist, the nitrogen is not applied to the components.

 

A special case is made that can be completely sealed except for a gas vent in the top. The case has an outer layer of insulation to keep the temps cool once the internals are chilld. There would be a container in the bottom of the case to contain the liquid nitrogen that gets automatically topped off as the gas boils off.

 

The process would start by flooding the case with just gaseous nitrogen removing moisture from the atmosphere within the case. once that is done you then fill the container with the liquid nitrogen to reduce the temp within the case. internals still have their normal air heat sinks so they still do heat exchange with the now chilled air in the case. The gas vent ensures no pressure build up occurs as the nitrogen is replaced as it boils off due to heat.

 

Got the idea from a Tom Scott video about the nitrogen tanks in new york.

 

Would this work?

How much money do you have for R&D I am guessing 100K will get your foot in the door.
