My kids playing on the Mega VR headset and complaining about it getting hot is one example of my line of thought. Let’s say you have to absorb the heat generated by a given amount of electricity but want to do it in the most weight efficient way possible.
It turns out that regular old water has basically the highest latent heat of fusion at room temperature and pressure, which means a block of ice can absorb more heat by melting than pretty much anything else gram for gram.
What if the VR headset could just freeze itself overnight and then no fans or reliance on dissipating heat into the external environment but instead into the ice.
It’s probably stupid but I do know water is the best know molecule in terms of latent heat of fusion per gram at room temperature and pressure.
