Cooling The Coil

[Johnny Law.Lulz 5,000+ posts]

As we all know i use a warden which uses an open motor design. If i put a fan inside the box blowing onto the coil would this yield more power handling considering there would be more thermal capapbilities as long as i dont reach mechanical limits?

heat is going to dissipate outward, blowing a fan at it on one spot isn't going to help.

lulz.

just run a hose from your AC into the box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.. ya you should be able to put some more to it and get better numbers

Who said i was going to direct it at one spot. You're my boy but you need to keep your ignorance outta my shit.

I have an air hockey table outside with a sick fan on it.

you can't afford enough power to justify doing this.

lulz again.

RD D9 @ .35 ohms. Again, keep your ignorance away from me.

No reason to get upset bro, I personally think it's a stupid idea but I suppose you could try it, you'd probably be the first lulz.

How is it stupid. Thermal power failure is a big thing that blows subs, you put too much power and it frys the coil. If thinking logically, if you can keep that coil cooler then you can put more power to it. It seems like a perfectly legit idea to me.

Im not sure about the life of your subs but cooler coils = bigger numbers period. I said what i said because i know people that are serious into it alot more then i am run AC hoses into their boxes... It would only make since this would help the subs last longer... but i dont know about a fan

**** that... just spray it with a nitrous purge, that will cool it down.

If you're blowing cool air on it, where is the hot air going to go?

There are competitors who will put 10kW or more to a sub. I'm fairly certain no one has tried this, because there's no point.

i dont see why it wouldnt work, also dont forget cooler metal conducts better because there is less electrical resistance, you might notice a difference with the same power, because the its more efficient

Whats the flash point of NOS and how hot does the surface of the coil get. Not to mention a steady flow of electricity could easily equal and explosion. An evenly sprayed jet of air around the coil at the velocity that this fan can product should yield very good coil cooling with the open design of the motor of everything.

The hot air would be expelled out so if the motor isnt completely encased the the hot air most likely would just go out of the box through the ports. Im sure i dont have enough power or anything where i would notice a major gain but this seems like a very solid and defiantly logical idea.

Hire a leprechaun or an oompa-loompa, have him spray liquid nitrogen on the coil?
