Reference is to Project Habakkuk by the British
in WWII to build a large, frozen aircraft carrier of a mixture of water and
pressed wood for the North Atlantic. It was to provide a base for
anti-submarine aircraft for the area out of range of land-based aircraft.
It made it as far as a 1,000-ton scale prototype. No mention of
CO2...

And as the dry ice turns to gas you could use it to
power
some sort of compressed air engine. The CO2 build up
could
be dealt with by taking external water into the hull,
pumping
cabin air threw the water, then using the compressed air
engine
to drive a pump to expel the water containing dissolved
CO2
over board. Given this new cooling power we could save
money
by making viewport out of frozen
water!

Hi Jim,
Dry ice has a
temperature of - 100 celcius.
your average home freezer is about
-17.
If you stored your ice in a container with the dry ice you
could
get it's temperature down a lot lower than -17 & make it more
efficient
for
cooling. ( In theory ).

A bit of tongue-in-cheek there, Jens? I guess dry ice
is out for
cooliing, too. Hmm...

What about using oxygen
