>So, water-cooled machine guns work by heating water up to just under its boiling point after which more energy is needed to heat it further than firing the gun can produce so it stays at the same temperature forever, right?
No??
>Therefore, if you made a computer heatsink out of such an alloy the chip would stay at a safe temperature forever with no need for fans or fancy heat pipes, right?
No, it wouldn't because heat dissipation would rapidly drop once the medium is saturated, not only that the heatsinks used on watercooled lmgs are bigger than your computer, why on earth would you think that's better than just having two fans blowing through some fins. Delete your thread nigga please.

these mediums move heat, as does the water for mgs, if the water wasn't cycled the barrel would overheat anyway, same as metal contact with chips, the heat from cpu is moved into the larger surface area of the heatsink and air or water moves that heat, if you use your super metal alloy that is just another medium to move heat, also about making money on patents, usually very little, big money is in company and product, ideas on paper is basically toilet paper

how DO they work then, if you know better?

>>16967808
Barrel transfer heat to water, water transfer heat to chassis, chassis transfer heat to air
Once you reach certain thermal saturation heat transfer drops rapidly, if you keep holding the trigger your barrel will melt, watercooled mgs aren't magic infiniguns.

>Therefore, if you made a computer heatsink out of such an alloy the chip would stay at a safe temperature forever
Your heatsink would simply melt after which the chip would melt. Value of the idea: 0 dollars 0 cents.

While you're correct in principle, the Vickers famously disposed of over 5 million rounds of obsolete ammo over the course of a week, firing near-continuously.
Granted, they swapped out the barrel every hour or so. But an hour of continuous fire is still pretty damn impressive.

yes
