[Amps] SS amps watercooling - was PowerGenius XL

[Roger (K8RI)]

OK, I'm going to try again:
Water cooling is a mature technology and even with a busted hose, 
distilled water spraying around in there can be messy, but it's unlikely 
to be dangerous.

Water cooling a SS Amp with its much lower voltages is even less daunting

When I worked as a tech, we has RF generators from 2KW to well over 200 
KW.  All except the 2 KW were water cooled.
