    Is CO2 cooling a good idea?

    Darrin, Its funny, I was also considering water injection lately, and I was planning to look for ways to keep the water chilled. I too, considered a type of 12V refrigerater to do this. It seems like we think alike. What about a small thermos to hold the water. You could fill it with...
