Not to mention no solid fittings to come loose. The fuel tube and aluminum could be clamped together. The TCS liquic cooling solution would be easy to duplicate. Eliminating the risk of ruining electrical components by using a non-conductive solution. I was looking at a mini pump similar to TCS's which draws about a 1/2 watt (almost nothing). The whole system should be less than 2 ounces (not including the fan). Too bad it's been done already. I still may do it just for the fun of the project We shall see I guess.
