Default Crazy Liquid Idea
so......if you filled your loop with mercury. Besides being retarded because of conductivity and also being a deadly poison........ wouldn't it have crazy good thermal conductivity?

you can pump mud with the right pump..... again hypothetical on thermal transfer

Assuming that you had a pump that could move mercury through a loop it would. Mercury's thermal conductivity is almost 14x that of water, but it also has over 6.5x the surface tension of water, so you will need a really good pump.

This is overall a very bad idea.

Another mercury thread, oh noes!! (for those of you that missed it the last one was about using mercury as thermal paste)
