Infinite 8K filming with water-cooled Canon R5

The Canon EOS R5 can record video in 8K resolution. The only problem is that it cannot do so for more than twenty minutes or so before overheating and shutting down. Matthew Perks from DIY Perks has managed to solve that limitation.
He does this by water-cooling the camera. Water cooling is often used in computers, for example, but I think it is unique in a camera.
It is great to see the Canon R5 from the inside for once.
The video also shows that Canon could make the 8K functionality much more useful with a few small, inexpensive improvements. Without external additions such as water cooling or a fan.
Matthew also makes more impressive things, such as this steampunk computer.
