Tiny wind engines cool computers
Aug 15th, 2007 | By CentroN | Category: Research, TechnologyMinuscule wind engines could help to take computing power to the next level, scientists believe.
US researchers have developed a prototype device that creates a “breeze” made up of charged particles, or ions, to cool computer chips.
The “ionic wind”, the scientists say, will help to manage the heat generated by increasingly powerful, yet ever-shrinking devices.
The research is to be published in the Journal of Applied Physics. Read more
