    Homemade Boreas experiment

    Hi everyone,

    First modd-ing project of sorts, and I've come unstuck at the first hurdle.

    I'm building my own BOREAS unit to take some of the heat out of my loop.

    The plan was to have 8 waterblocks with a 125W peltier sandwiched between each.

    One side of the water blocks would go to a large radiator to extract the heat generated by the hot side of the loop, the other side would go into the component water loop.

    Heat would be controlled by turning on and off any of the 4 peltiers.

    I managed to buy 8 copper water blocks, but have decided that I am only now going to use 4 of these. The plan has changed to have a cube of copper with small holes drilled through it from one face to the other. On the remaining 4 un-drilled surfaces I would mount the 4 peltiers, cold side facing down, hot side facing the water blocks. On the hot side I would then mount the 4 water blocks.

    Now, the problem I have is I cannot locate square section lumps of copper - would anyone know where I might be able to locate some?

    Anyone had any experience making stuff out of copper that they can pass any advice on?

    Cubes of Copper need to be 60-70mm^3. I need 2 to build the concept model.

    I'll post up the Sketchup of the project as soon as I have drawn it all up. I'm too bloomin detailed so it's taking a while to "virtually" mock up.

    Many thanks

    Re: Homemade Boreas experiment

    I used to run a huge copper radiator, which I built while copper was still relatively cheap. I got the copper from an industrial metals supply place somewhere. Sorry it's vague, but it was years ago. You'll probably need somewhere similar, and I think I found it through an online directory.
