I enjoyed the various ways the question was, “can we use water this way?” And each time it was “no, that’s water cooling”

Absolutely. Every single slightly credible idea their engineers came up with they submitted as a question.

Use of a peltier device is possibly interesting? Though I can’t see it making any sort of actual difference in temperature given the speed of the air moving through.

Does anyone else here feels that Red Bull decided to adopt a "throw spaghetti at a wall and see what sticks" strategy?
