So, I got to thinking that running back and forth to the store to pick up dry ice to cool the hot NUBM44 was getting a bit old. Paying high school kids to wave a hand fan at the diode proved not only inefficient but expensive.
While what I am about to propose is also inefficient, I wonder if it would work. One would have one set of batteries for the diode and another for cooling. Perhaps putting the 44 into an aluminum radial finned heatsink with one of these in between the sink and the module.
Otherwise, we are going to have to use mind over matter and just keep thinking cool!
