This is a "standard" Laptop cooling pad, with a slight
modification. Winding through the pad is a tube, filled
with
water, this tube leaves the cooling pad and then loops
through a hand held heating element, suitable for placing in
my coffee cup. This water will (hopefully) puck up the
waste
heat from the laptop, and transfer it to my coffee.
The element is covered by a removable and washable metal
sleeve.

Inclute a peltier element in there and you can get proper hot coffee... there are even high temperature peltier elements which are capable of up to 225C now. |

Would the cooling effect be improved by "Two Cups of Coffee"? |

You'll need a switch to short out the lithium battery in your laptop--only in that way will you generate enough heat to get your coffee hot enough. |

Conventional heat exchangers won't work nearly well enough for this idea to work, and I don't think you want water as your transfer medium. I suspect you could boil some volatile gas inside super-tiny tubes that interface inside the laptop and condense it around the mug, however. |

as long as it keeps the coffee from getting really cold,
it could be considered to have met a need. The
worse thing is to leave your coffee in an
airconditioned room, and when you pick it up, it is as
cold as ice. |

Could the cooling generated by a peltier element that gets up to 225 on one side be useful for overclocking? |
