Junkyard Joys

We had a little studio field trip today, first to visit the site for our final project, and then to a junkyard to get some things for the next phase of our work.

I'm usually not much of a junkyard person, having been trying to get rid of excess crap in recent years. But this one was very interesting, with piles of scrap and sorted bits and bobs.

I chose a large heat sink, because I find the physics of heat sinks really interesting. One of my favourite tricks is to soften butter on our large aluminum griddle through the miracle of high conductivity.

I also love how this heat sink sits up on legs, like Corbusian pilotis.
