I like it (solution 1)! Especially the cooling tower. Now, I'm thinking about cooling towers _a la_ coal-fired and nu-ku-lar power plants -> spraying water or liquid pollutant into the base of said tower ... I also liked that you melted the container of the test piece, as well as immolating some measurement equipment as part of the demonstration 🍻
That was a great shoutout to NightHawkInLight & Tech Ingredients for their work in bringing that tech to the public's attention, I've been talking my friends' ears off about it lately. I just found your channel from troubleshooting a MIPS issue I was having, but now I'm forced to subscribe on account of how badass your videos are
Thanks for the video! Love how simple and effective this is! When I saw the counterflow exchangers in the update I immediately thought about whether you could build your own by having a series of ordinary direct exchangers separated by one-way valves or pumps (the more separate layers of exchanging you have, the more efficiently you could push each line towards the initial temperature of the opposing line). I never really thought about simply using room gas and convection radiators to save invar on regular exchangers - that's a great idea! I also had no idea the vacuum radiators exchanged between each other inside a room; the game seemed to treat every radiator except the large foldable ones as a one-way magic heat deleter. Does that mean ordinary uninsulated pipes radiate to each other in vacuum rooms, too? Or do they only "convect", i.e. with gas? I wish there was a "blueprint" style system to let you save and place 3D ghosts of multi-component modules, letting you recreate them without the rote repetition of remembering all the precise build steps. It wouldn't have to be fully hands-off like Factorio's drone construction, or even save any build time. Making modules out of the most basic possible components like this is so much more fun and rewarding and - like you said - *interesting* than using premade devices. You could make air conditioners, radiators, tanks/storage, cryo/distilling filters, heat exchangers, pressure regulators, combustors, engines/generators and even furnaces (if the game eventually adds the other substances like metals to the phase change system) out of just insulated/uninsulated pipes, a one-way valve, a two-way valve, one kind of pump/turbine, and a device to separate mixed phases (like a gravity-based tower with a gas tap at the "top" and liquid drain at the "bottom", with a solids grille "above" it). There's a really neat 2D game born out of the modded Minecraft automation subgenre called "Roody:2D" (horrible name) in nascent development that pushes that simple-components approach - I think you might enjoy it based on how you play Stationeers, ONI etc. - but it does have its own share of arcane undocumented behaviour
Could you make a video on how to build it?? Thank you

Heavy cables will not burn up with high temperatures.
Oh, I thought they did at a specific temp
But where's the fun in that?! 😉
