Ultimate Heat Control?

I think i may have solved the problem of heat for good. I haven't tested any of this but im 100% sure it would work.

I was watching the Barry Cooper videos and he said that heat is 1 of 3 things that will get you busted, even showed how they use an infrared camera, he said to solve the problem you can disperse the air around the house or under your house but i came up with this. I've heard in a few different places that water is a very good coolant and is used to cool off many things. So to use this property of water we would have to run the hot air through the water and then that air could be pumped or released back into your grow room id say,



to make one of those id just use a pvc pipe, an end cap on the pipe and a hose, also if one isn't cooling enough you can make rows or grids, i think to cool a few lights youd need a 5x5 stack. Also the longer the pipe the more time the hot air is passing through water and it'd be cooler also a narrow top would probably mean no noise from the bubble and IF you did this and after a few days your water would be the same temp as your air that means you need more so they cool off at a faster rate OR have it hooked up to a reservoir and pump new water in every day or however long it takes.


It seems so easy i dont know how one of you stoners haven't invented this already



Edit: I just realized that pressure might be a problem if you had a few, to move all that water out of the hose to get air coming out. But i dont think the pressure would get hard enough to possibly do something.

there are water cooled light setups that are sold at hydro stores already. it's nothing new just expensive

If we modify this a bit im sure it can become the cheap version.

watercooled professionally made lights = good.

jimmy rigged home made DIY water lights = burnt down house

these arent water lights this is cooling air, water shouldn't go near your lights at all.

it's an alright idea in theory, however if you're trying to get an inline fan to push air through a few feet of water that would severely reduce the cfm i would think and reduced airflow = higher temps

LMAO. This contraption won't work, but you made my day with that statement.

It would work if your heating the water to provide heat in your home which is already being done... But pumping water by a fan of hot air is seriously lacking practicality... Its a good try but like every great inventor scrap that bitch and hit the bong... dream it up tonight and try again in the morning....

Fans, exhaust, Intake, Fresh air, not in that order.. Heat rises and most homes in the winter are around 70-76 degrees... if you have a 3x3 spike of 80-85 they look at you like your tanning? Standing Up?

if you had the horizontal tube netted or half open with an exhaust fan pulling in the hot air then disppersing the air from the exaust into a water tube then you basically have what they sell at the hydro shop

they do have water cooled lights, you could also just vent inside your room and cool it with AC

I talked about this to other people before man. Problem I saw with it was its hard to get enough pressure from the fan to push the the air into the water. Water is also slow to heat and once heated is slow to disperse that heat away. I mean they use water to provide solar heat because the water will retain the heat late into the night.

Hi, sorry to sound negative on your cooling idea (the picture in post #1)
I believe this will not work well at all. Reasons being, you will need massive pressure/air flow to force the air through the cooling medium. The warm water will bubble with air and evaporate away quickly increasing humidity, this maybe good for veg growth but when flower time comes the humidity could well present a problem, i suspect the medium(water) will need to be topped up frequently.

You are correct in saying that water is good at shifting heat but to make it efficient, I would advise you use two air heat exchangers a pump, a reservoir and maybe a thermostat depending on the outside HX ambient temperature.

I have attached a picture of a method of cooling an area, be it cooling your home or a grow space, the only difference is the heat load. I do understand that this may not be practical for many, but it is a method that will work very well if implemanted correctly.

how about ice instead of water to solve the pressure problem but u would probably need a lot of ice lol

Were you sucking on a doobie when you posted that Mr Lizzard?

Yea, dont think the ice truck showing up weekly to drop off the ice for that will bring attention...I mean EVERYBODY buys bulk in ice (truth here actually..strange).
