Tiny Solid-State Fan Revolutionize Cooling for Mobile Electronics
Scientists aimed to achieve the same power as household air purifiers yet keep the appearance of the device as a tiny gadget which could be used for mobile electronics such as laptops. They were able to achieve their goal with the RSD5 solid-state fan — a cooling system as small as a microchip yet with the power to produce enough air to
cool a laptop. The RSD5 solid-state fan utilizes a series of live wires to produce plasm — an ion-rich gas. The presence of the electric field due to the plasm pushes the neutral air out onto the un-charged plates which envelope the wires. The phenomenon called “corona wind” produces 2.4 meters per second of cooling air, an impressive speed for a cooling mechanism. It’ll be interesting to see what the technology would be used for in the future and how it would change the face of mobile electronics.
