One problem with water is that it absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere.
Humans exhale CO2. This turns water into carbonic acid -- which is an
electrical conductor.
So plant water lilies to absorb the CO2 :-)
Another problem is that water is the universal solvent.
The second problem is by far the worse. I once talked with a nuclear
engineer who ran a heat exchanger between two explosively incompatible
fluids: radioactive molten sodium, and ordinary water. He said the
liquid sodium was easy, and a pleasure to work with... but the water was
constantly trying to eat everything in sight.
good luck, John
Not much luck required, mostly good engineering. Water cooling is
routine for monster amplifiers, and down at the amateur scale the
1296MHz moonbounce community has a lot of amp-years of experience in the
bank. The consensus is that if it's built right, it stays right for a
long time.
