| shams said: This seems quite odd. The biggest thing that stuck out to me, is where the heat is going - its not like its sucking the heat from the chip, its just "moving it" off the chip surface. Seems to me that it would still require fans and traditional cooling - just improve the cooling on the chip surface (and maybe reduce the size of heatsinks needed). Cute idea though. I hope the electrons/ionic flow doesn't interface with the chip operation. |
Indeed fans are still needed. From what I remember of this they were having problems once you got down to a certain size chip that particles would get stuck in it and not be able to be moved by air movement alone, the ionic particles job is just to pull the particles out so that they can be collected by the air movement.
(worst explanation ever)
