Any chance I can see it in person at some point?

Yeah Ryan, I don't have a problem with you coming by to check it out. I'm working from home, so I'm around most of the time. Let me know what works for you.

Here's a couple pics of my chiller. Same basic idea as the link Tony posted.

I'll be there. Cheers!

Wow! Very cool!

Congrats guys.
