Aquatuning without steel?

I was sandboxing to figure out how to feed gildgos with a sulfur geyser. While testing out taming the sulfur geyser with a saltwater geyser and iron sweeper (pipe above the neutonium seems to work) I was seeing how far I could push an aluminium ore aquatuner. To my surprise it seems to be able to work constantly without overheating.

The cooling comes from a pool of 97°c saltwater run through aluminum radiant pipes with diamond tempshift plates. It is sitting in 1kg 95°c water below 2kg hydrogen also at 95°c.

Does this really work or is there some source of cooling I am overlooking?

If this works it should mean that you can run a cooling loop off of any source of 95°c water. Could you run a cooling loop off of the water you are sending to your spom?

Are neutron stars and black holes the same?

A neutron star is different than a regular star in a very fundamental way. The neutron star's gravity collapses the atomic structure into a neutron gluon plasma (is that the proper technobable?)

Does a similarly fundamental transformation coincide with the formation of an event horizon?

Do we even have any understanding of the physical makeup of a black hole?
