Or use the rocket launch technique and spray water across the take-off
area.
Probably less than optimal. Large clouds of hot, salt water steam
would be an annoyance (at a minimum) to the deck crew. It would also
be a highly corrosive material that could serious complicate
maintenance of both ship and aircraft.
Use of fresh water would likely be an excessive demand on the
evaporators.
The piping of cooling water suggested earlier would be a better idea.
It would likely be cheaper that major modifications such as a "ski
jump" and permit the continued use of the vertical capability of the
aircraft.
A water cooled heatsink built into a part of the deck designated for "hot"
aircraft makes a lot of sense.
You could have a place underneath to stash beer, like the old sub-
mariners did.
In electronics, we have similiar problems, we usually solve using Al
heat sinks, fan air cooled, as the cheapest. Screw a few Al heat sinks
to the bottom of the locations of the deck permited to take the heat
and engage any fluid to cool it, even water if space is tight, yawn.

Pray tell, young Skywalker, what type of electronics have you designed
that has a few thousands pounds of metal land on it, controlled by a
navel aviatrix, blasting used JP4 and other noxious and profane gasses
as high speeds and easily a thousand degrees of the Farenheits? I'm
getting a case of beer and a lot of popcorn, this is going to be a
good one.

Note to Wiki: another cite for the 'Why do EE degrees have a BS in
front of them....'

Frank, note you've replied to me 3 times, somewhat sarcastically
on a topic that is borderline boring for most, but I own a patent on
a 'new and improved' woodstove, so I have an extra interest and
specialized knowledge on the subject, so I find the problem
intriguing,
About "degrees", and "diploma's" mine are buried somewhere in
archives, rusting away.
Ken

Great, now post a link to that patent.

Patents are those legal things that get tossed into archives,
to be forgotten about, but your request is interesting, do they
put that online |?| I'll check.

C-dyn is old school and for transactions use snail-mail contracts,
for example today we received an order in the mail via snail,
from Vermont, that was posted Nov.30., for customized electro
gEAR. I'm thinking of complaining about the snail-mail speed.
Recently, I received 1st class Air-mail products from Indiana,
it took 10 (f**king) days to hit our box.

If anyone is interested in an experiment, I'll send you an Xmas
card, we can do addresses via email, but mine is hEAR,

so mail us a card.
Love & Kisses
