Super Conductor Experiments Tonight!!!

[Terabyte2007]

OMG, the temp is -15 with a windchill of -35 and dropping!!! Most of the US in a deep freeze not seen for more than 20 years! I need to do some experiments before it warms up.  I need ideas, thoughts??? What would you do if the temp dropped this far!

Some areas are expected to reach over -50 approaching -60 for a wind chill! Damn!

How about having a pee in the snow and seeing if the urine freezes in mid air .....watch your skin exposure though.....you would not want frost bite there

test if spit goes thunk around the -40 mark (really want to confirm xkcd's chart)

other than that, if you have a power mosfet, see if it actually can handle its power rating even at those ambient temps,

My liquor is freezing....

Extreme overclocking a processor, with just a heatsink and fan? A drop of 75°C from ambient would allow approx 100% extra power dissipation.

I've grilled outside in my shorts the past two days, filets still cook just fine in the cold.

We used to overclock GPUs by blowing the chilled, pressurized nitrogen gas from our LN2 tanks into the GPU fan. Got near-LN2 level cooling using the stock heatsink. Those gases were around -100C.

Make sure to insulate the PCB against condensation!
