A Curie Point Liquid Droplet Radiator uses some form of liquid metal droplet and magnetism to radiate away heat. The droplets are collected from their pass along the system, ejected out into space, cool off, and come back to the collector due to magnetic attraction. It appears to work akin to a fountain. Are there any downsides to this thing? It looks like it could be placed on any face of a casing/hull. Maybe a magnetic bottle engine might interfere with it, or it has a rather low temperature max?

Yes, but the apparent allure of the use of magnets in this design means that unless the ship is accelerating in ludicrous amounts of G, most of the liquid will still be retained, no?
