Ionic Cooling For Your Computer
master0ne writes, "We (the folks over at InventGeek) have produced the first ionic cooling system for your high-end gaming system. This system produces absolutely no noise and in fact has no moving parts at all. While this is a proof of concept, it demonstrates that you can get the CFM you need to cool a system efficiently with no moving parts and no increase in power consumption."
My current cooling system blows by comparison!
For a second, I thought it said "Ironic cooling . . ."
Hmm, I wonder if that would involve a black fly and some super-cooled chardonnay.
Oh, wait, that wasn't ironic after all.
On the final page it indicated that this ionic system can do 325 CMF. The rest of the units are in CFM, so I am assuming it's a typo. However, how can a fanless system do 325 cubic feet per minute? I've seen ionic systems before and they have never put out anything near that amount (at least from my non scientific estimations). If so, than this is much more than just a passive solution. Unless it is 325 CMF, and it's cubic minutes per feet, but then I think that I just went crosseyed trying to think of cubic minutes.
Baby, my lap is high voltage.
Game... blouses.
Perhaps CMF is cubic meters per fortnight. By my math, that's about 0.57 cubic feet per minute... they may have fooled lesser souls by using two-week -long measures of time, but we at Slashdot are much cleverer than that. Fanless, indeed.
A 10 inch square by 18 inch long block of wood mounted on a sledge hammer handle. Staple a piece of car tire tread to one end of the block. One good swat, and then leave the cat at the end of the driveway.
"Oh noes! Mr Mittens has been run over by a car!
I read the story as 'iconic' cooling system, and was looking forward to details of one of the all-time great cooling systems, one that history would long remember. Ah well.
I build a small fire in the case to get it going - call it ironic cooling.
