coolant cooled instead of water cooled?

Re:coolant cooled instead of water cooled?
Hey i'm not poking fun of anyone for using the dirt. like I said I've used it before and it had good cooling results. It's not like the stuff burns or boils, it stay's cool enough so that the internal temperatures of the center section stay right about where they should. can't make fun of that.

Coolant as in ethylene glycol (green sweet stuff that kills kitties)?
Just so you know, pure water has MUCH better heat displacement than coolant. You only put coolant in to raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point. So, running more coolant than water is worse than straight water.

You say water is better for heat displacement but you need to add the glycol to make it even better.So how is water better than coolant again?
Steve ,I was joking
.That water contraption is non-existant!
