If I didn't have a tiny condo I would totally do some experiments of my own. That still might be possible, but I'll have to think about how to pull it off a bit before I make the attempt, as I don't exactly have a workspace I can leave things around to tinker with.Anyone else able to play with this concept? While Pykrete's structural strength is pretty well known, there are a couple of cooling concepts worth testing. One probably involves some aquarium tubing and a pump, and one probably involves peltier plates or something. A couple of relatively simple concept tests on the viability of keeping a block of pykrete (or even ice for the concept test, but preferably pykrete) chilled and frozen in a warmer water environment.
