      If you add lots of empty 2l soda bottles, full of water, to a chest freezer, it has INSANE thermal mass. It can survive without power for like a week. Power almost never goes out for that long. https://twitter.com/enginoire1/status/1239735531338190853 …

      2/ cite for this? you're sure you're talking about thermal mass, and not thermal conductivity? naively, I'd think that pure water would be best bc not just the thermal mass, but also the heat of enthalpy - the ice melting absorbs a HUGE amt of heathttps://twitter.com/Player518214/status/1239911131554230272 …

      If you add sawdust to the water, the downside is you can’t drink it, but the thermal mass goes up by a factor of 2-3.

      5/ I think that you maybe actively don't want surplus insulation INSIDE the ice bottles, because that slows the rate at which the ice in the core of the bottles can suck heat out of the surrounding environment what you want is pure water ice so that convection inside bottles...

      6/ can bring 32° water to the surface of the bottles, and recirculate 33° water around inside the bottles to touch the core ice and dump energy worse case scenario is 1/8" thick jacket of 50° water just inside the bottle wall, surrounding an insulated fore of 10° ice / sawdust

      7/ while I think that wood would lower the thermal mass, I think that this is the wrong explanation thermal mass isn't the same thing as mass theoretically a less dense substance can have more thermal masshttps://twitter.com/tketkr/status/1239918236487036929 …

          It doesn't. Water has an insane density of degrees of freedom which gives it a very high specific heat capacity - all that matters when keeping a closed system cold.

          11/ solids (i.e. half solid half water meats) are not as good as liquids bc there's not as much potential to absorb thermal energy when going through a phase transition from solid to liquid I mean, don't throw away meat to fit more water into freezer > https://twitter.com/therealnuge820/status/1239921121274867718 …
