You obviously dont know anything about pc hardware. This has been used in most cpu heatsinks for ages. Vapor chambers work better but its a shape thing. Its just crazy to think that the vapor inside moves faster then the speed of sound

[@dahahaka]

one very big issue here is that you're using a rod vs a pipe, it would be much more interesting to see the heat pipe vs a hollow copper rod, due to the difference in mass and thermal capacity.

[@jstew2938]

dahahaka not really because copper is a better thermal conductor then air so having a hollow copper tube will transfer heat slower than the copper rod

[@dahahaka]

@@jstew2938 you know what's even worse than air at conducting heat? Vacuum. The heat pipe is basically evacuated, your argument makes no sense

[@jstew2938]

dahahaka while you are correct about a vacuum having lower thermal conductivity than copper, the heat pipe has a small amount of water in it which in the lower atmospheric pressure in the pipe boils at a fairly low temperature. The water boiling in the warm part of the pipe turns to vapor and condenses at the cooler end of the pipe, which transfers significantly more heat than air or copper would. It’s actually some what similar to the way an air conditioner or refrigerator works.

[@PattyDung]

One drawback: once all the water has moved from the hot side to the cold side, the thermal conductance of the tube reverts to that of a hollow copper tube. Of course if the hot and cold sides are subsequently reversed, the conductance dramatically increases again, but only temporarily. In this sense, the tube doesn't act like a super-good conductor of heat long-term in one direction or the other.

[@vincentrobinette1507]

That's why the wicking process is so critical, to the continuous flow of heat from a source to a sink. That's what returns the condensed liquid back to the source of heat, and is the limiting factor to how fast heat can be transferred. It would be easy, if the heat source is below the heatsink, because gravity would just drip the condensate back to the bottom. Wicking is required, if the heat source is level with, or even above the heatsink. That's why the inside of the tube is rough, so the capillary effect can wick the condensed water back to the heat source, after it has evaporated.

[@PattyDung]

@@vincentrobinette1507 That's a good explanation. From looking at the specs of the best heat pipes (those with a sintered internal wick) the skinny pipes really are about 100x the conductance of solid copper of the same volume, and at low power densities, heat pipes continue to operate at that high efficiency indefinitely. At higher power, the efficiency may be reduced, depending on the tip angle, and at still higher power, the efficiency goes way down, even if horizontal. (Note that in the video, that size of sintered-wick heat pipe would probably rapidly go into inefficient operation if maintained at ΔT= 30°C, the approx difference between the hand and ice, but the warm end probably cooled rapidly to about 4°C. There was probably a rapid melting of the ice initially because the warm end started at hand temperature.)

[@martin09091989]

I knew that heat pipes are a better heat conductor than even the best solid conductors, but i did not expected it being that rapid!!!! 😮 Thx for the demonstration! Next time i have to cool somthing, i will take heat pipes more likely in consideration!

[@utiantew]

Wait, what about the heat pipe that has a radiator liquid and a wick inside. I swear I've heard that kind of thing.

[@tuunaes]

@@utiantew Then someone was feeding you BS. High heat conductance of heat pipes is based of evaporation absorpting lots of thermal energy. With movement of gas then transferring that energy fast to cold end, where condensation releases that thermal energy.

[@herseem]

@@tuunaes What he's referring to is a wick used to soak the condensed water back to the heat source more quickly than the copper powder that is sintered to the inside of the pipe. I have wondered if a woven glass fibre wick might make it more efficient because the relatively straight-ish glass fibre bundles would wick water much faster than the tortured path of water being soaked along the copper powder. If you see water soaking up a bundle of glass fibres it's extremely quick

[@e.s.6275]

@@clee2423 there IS a difference between a copper rod and an opened copper pipe. It is in the copper cross-section.

[@TheShadoWringer]

Adding on to this: the "spongy" texture of the inside of the pipe is there to increase the surface area on the inside, thus also greatly increasing the temperature transfer

[@edwardbrant12]

How is the spongy texture created

[@clee2423]

@@edwardbrant12 its actually a copper powder, if you interested at how it made, here's the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmiUh2mwgd6Vn8k

[@BilalBarkati]

No. It's because the liquid water gets spread to the entire inner spongy lining. A smooth surface will create a drop of water that will move here and there due to gravity and won't boil on the application of heat on the other side so, it won't work.

[@tanmaysinghal3387]

Bro it's never temperature transfer.... It's heat transfer.. There is a difference

[@vegonomia-nosprotegendodoc9011]

Also the spongy part act as a capillar bringing the condensed water from the cold side back to the hot side, where it evaporates and goes as vapor through the middle of the pipe. Creating a closed cycle. Just my guess, I am actually an idiot.

15 years of custom loop watercooling user here, after finishing both engineering and advanced physics faculty MSc programs, decided to upgrade from 3x120 (360*45mm radiator) watercool to 1x140mm heatpipe cooler. The result is amazing, it cools better than most expensive watercool i could build with gynormous pump, radiator and waterblock. Although the heat capacity of big radiator is much more, the cooling capacity (speed) is lower relative to heatpipe with smaller radiator. And with that said, all the computer "modders" these days put watercooling to 65w CPU (or say 105w) and keep the 400w GPU with stock cooler, which is kinda idiotic.

The only way those materials would work better, is if they are more hydrophilic, and would wick the working fluid back to where the heat is more quickly. This is a vapor phase change system, using the latent heat of phase change from a liquid to a gas, and condensing back into a liquid. Otherwise, silver would be best, if it were just a solid rod, or tube.

Vincent Robinette stop acting like ur smart , ur comment makes no sense

[@vincentrobinette1507]

@@YbsGaming I take it you don't understand the latent heat of phase change during evaporation and condensation in the absence of a non condensable gas. You're also having a hard time understanding how the wicking effect could return the condensate back to the heat source, using the capillary effect created by the rough interior of the heat pipe. Without those basic understandings, it's very difficult to grasp the concept.

This guy is a genius. I have been roaming all around you tube the whole day watching car races, bike races, huge trucks blah blah( came here at 10am now it's 11:35pm) East african time (Uganda) skipping his videos and I just clicked on his video as I go to bed ( because I like to concentrate on things that matter before going to sleep) and I felt so at home. He is so calm, and explains everything so well. Am glad to be subscribed to this guy. Honestly am one proud subscriber of The Action Lab. Thanks brother for all the videos. I learn a lot everyday from them and I was a science student in my high school ( BCG/A) Biology, Chemistry, Geography and Agriculture. I dropped out before uni(life is tough down here) but I feel so happy being here. Thanks a bunch .

[@bobbob-iz8tb]

it\s very helpful video man that's very nice

[@DANGJOS]

So I think I'm noticing a potential drawback of this device. Isn't it true that it's thermal conductivity would have to be lower at very cold temperatures? Say if you're significantly below the triple point temperature of water, like -40C, then the vapor pressure of the ice would be so low that the vapor cannot transfer as much heat to the other end, yes?

[@vincentrobinette1507]

This is precisely why I suspect that the working fluid might be methanol, or some kind of alcohol, or even dichloromethane. These fluids work well below the freezing point of water, as long as the condensate will wick effectively back to the source of heat. Even if it IS water, if the temperature is that cold, the temperature protected component still won't get that hot. If it does, the water turns back to liquid, allowing the heat flow system to resume normal operation. Remember, it's vacuum packed, so water will freely evaporate and condense, at any temperature, with changes in vaporization pressure. The interior is always under a vacuum, unless the whole heat pipe gets up to, or above 212 degrees, in which case, there is no pressure difference, or even slightly positive pressure.

[@justinw1765]

Yeah, but it's not typically used under those conditions. It is typically used around room temps to a heat source that may vary between 100 to 200 F. Water has a higher heat capacity than methanol and many other, non exotic fluids. It is very good at transferring heat via the liquid--vapor--liquid cycle. Sure, if you lived in Siberia or the like, and were using this tech outside, then yeah, go with an alcohol or the like. But for most conditions, most of the time, water works very well. As far as I know, most of the heat pipes made and sold to the public use water as the phase change material. Maybe the military and the like use different and/or more exotic materials for some applications?

What happens when you pass real high voltage of current through that? Explode?Or expand?

[@jarhead1145]

Well if you want really high voltage and current it'll probably explode and be a very big hazard to anyone near by without proper precautions. It's better to just keep the voltage low and run high amps though it. It'll get glowing hot and melt till the circuit is open, nothing too spectacular.

[@dhadelmacha3455]

@@jarhead1145 thanks man Well the first part would be spectacular to watch though.

[@gogo311]

@@jarhead1145 Why do you think it would explode? There is absolutely no reason for that. High voltage regularly passes through metal, nothing happens.

[@jarhead1145]

@@gogo311 High voltage plus high current. We are implying that if we put enough through it, what would happen. So yes if you put what is going through high tension power lines then the heat pipe would violently explode.

[@prometheus575]

@@jarhead1145 Voltage does not cause a conductor to heat, only current flow does. One billion volts at one ampere has the exact same effect as one volt at one ampere on heating the conductor. High-tension power lines often carry hundreds of amps, which would pop that tube like a blown fuse. Their voltage is irrelevant.
