Longer-life transformer oil

WhyCategoryData centers & chips
LevelMedium
UseInsulating oil that resists oxygen and moisture, so transformers last longer and run hotter
WhatAtomsOil molecules 30–80, liquid runs 1–2k + water and O₂. C H O
BuildTestingEasy Oxidation stability and breakdown voltage tests
FundingCompute ~$200 · Make ~$5–15k · Test ~$10–30k · Other ~$10k patent
TimeMake 4–8 wks · Test 4–8 wks · Total ~2–4 months
