I was thinking of the same thing recently. Using copper plumbing, constructing a trombone cooler with a few extra passes.

Better think brass or aluminum. I picked some material at random. Close, but not exact comparisons:
Copper tube 1: OD Wall = .065" ID = .87" weight = .7401 lbs/linear foot Brass tube .875" OD Wall = .03" ID = .815 weight = .2944 lbs/linear foot Aluminum 1" OD Wall, .083" ID = .834 weight = .29898 lbs/linear foot After this project, you will seriously think about putting two big a$$ batteries in the LF corner to balance the front end. In addition, there would be enough room and lots of airflow if you delete the RF wheel/tire.  Sherwood |

when you are ready to mount it on your car, let me know. I'll come and help. On the hood or engine lid? :lol:

Goin' to need something more than the average 3.6 to get that cooler up to 150 mph, I guess!

Sherwood,
Did you conside that the brass is roughly half the weight of the coppr because the wall thickness is less than half (and the diameter is slightly less). Copper and brass have very similar densities.

That exceeds my 911 cooling needs - but if only I could convince my wife to let me install that in the house for my homebrewing setup...

Dip that puppy into an ice bath and hook a keg up to it.
Instant cold beverage.
