Episode notes

I wanted to do some experimenting with only a single miner in a 10 gallon tank to see how far I could push it with a small radiator. The long term goal is to make an at-home immersion box that is as quiet as any household fan (or less). This video is to show the absolute most basic and cheap way to play with immersion. Total cost is under $300, with the radiator and oil being nearly all the cost. The tank was only $10 or so, and the pump is just a magnetic drive fish tank pump. Slap some vinyl tubing on it with some clamps and have fun! Even a simple household box fan would work on the radiator. In my first attempts, I got the cheapest car radiator I could find off a certain forest-named online mega-warehouse place, which ended up being for a 1995 Kia Sophia, $26 shipped.
