    It also works in reverse..if you have something that is frozen and you need to thaw it quickly, the heatsinks will sink cold away just as efficiently as they handle heat

    • @MultiJeje12345

    • @Kalvinjj
      @Kalvinjj 4 года назад +5

      Just to clarify something that triggers me despite getting what you mean: cold doesn't move anywhere, heat moves from hotter to colder surface/matter. Cold is just lower temperature than what you are comparing the cold thing to, so the heatsinks actually heat up the cold stuff, and the air heats the cold heatsinks. Cold and warm/hot are just comparisons, always need a reference. Heat is what moves and changes the temperature (let's not yet enter into gases and pressure differences).
      There, I can sleep at night now. I feel relieved...

    @TheHomicidalTendency 9 лет назад +88

    Microwaves do not heat evenly, turning disks inside rotating the food helps balance this out, but much of the design of frozen dinners is to let them set at rather hot temps, for at least that first minuet or two so that the heat evens out.
    So it might be best to leave it in the microwave and cool it down after that time or you might start running into cold spots in your food.

    • @The8BitGuy
      @The8BitGuy  8 лет назад +45

      +TheHomicidalTendency - I would agree with something that is sort of solid like a big piece of chicken or fish or something. But any sort of meal that is lots of stuff in liquid that gets stirred somewhere in the process (like the one I showed) does tend to cook pretty evenly. I actually verified that with my thermometer. I could only find about 10 degrees difference in any part of the meal.

    • @Leo-Lion
      @Leo-Lion 7 лет назад +2

      The 8-Bit Guy have you considered doing other builds similar to this, along with your usual videos as they are quite informative and well presented. As of recently I actually purchased a 2006 MacBook running a core duo processor and maxed out at 2GB of ram and a 1TB hard drive. I've been seeing on RUclips here that it's possible to upgrade the OS to el captain. I thought this could be a possible video idea as a update to the original video you made on this machine.

  • @Kamel419
    @Kamel419 8 лет назад +7

    Pro-tip, because this does not use any sort of phase change or peltier technology, it can also be used for thawing frozen things. I'd say that would be a perfect way to thaw a steak you were interested in throwing on the grill :). I'd like to see you test that sometime if you're up to it (hope you didn't point this out somewhere else and I overlook it).
    Perhaps more obvious, but just as neat, this can also be used to quickly freeze things by placing the whole unit in the freezer and running it, and it can also be used to cool something down very quickly in the fridge using in the same manner. Passive "cooling" has tons of untapped potential in my opinion.

      GaminGod Coffeeman in this video it shows a clip on heatsink from cartrage style pentium processors. They were bigger and retangle. I belive the pentium D heatsink is a circle and much much smaller. So for something like a coffee would work good not a microwave meal

    • @Hans5958
      @Hans5958 6 лет назад

      LamaPlayerCZ Farenheit is a type of temprature unit. The only problem is it's hard to use it, because it's boiling point is 212 degree Farenheit (100 degree Celcius) and it's freezing points is 32 degree Farenheit (0 degree Celcius). Also, only US use that kind of unit, and they use feet, mile, and inch as they length unit.

    • @ericstoverink6579
      @ericstoverink6579 6 лет назад +3

      Fahrenheit is almost twice as precise as Celsius, and is more intuitive. Celsius is based on the freezing and boiling points of water under arbitrarily defined conditions, which is fine, if what you're measuring is water. Not everything is water.

    • @MrOpenGL
      @MrOpenGL 7 лет назад +4

      Agree with all minus "microwave kills the nutrients". Frying or roasting degrades nutrients, as does boiling and steaming. In fact heating food above 60°C will "degrade" nutrients, so make sure to only eat raw foods.
      Or just don't worry about it. Microwave is healthier than frying anyway.
