New Chip-cooling Technology

BillOfThePecosKind writes "Researchers have demonstrated a new technology using tiny "ionic wind engines" that might dramatically improve computer chip cooling, possibly addressing a looming threat to future advances in computers and electronics. Purdue researchers funded by Intel have improved the "heat-transfer coefficient" by some 250%. I never liked water cooled systems, and this sounds promising. However I wonder how much ozone one of these things produces."

    Now if we could only find a way to take all the produced ground level O3 (Ozone) and put it in the upper atmosphere.
    Maybe the series of tubes we use nowadays for the internet can help. And then we would have an internet link close to the outer space!
