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."

Let the infomercials begin!

I can't wait for the Ionic Breeze PC Edition! Available now for only 3 easy payments of 39.99!

My current cooling system blows by comparison!

Alanis Morissette flashback . . .

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.

325 CMF?

[bjackson1]

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.

You've succeeded, but the success was in not answering the question. The question wasn't about the IB so your reply was completely out of place.

Heh. I read it as coming from InventGreek and wondered when the Doric PC cooling system was coming out.

If you can, I'm waiting for the ionic leafblower. Finally you can blow your yard trash into the neighbors yard at night without waking him up. Mwa Ha hah!

Baby, my lap is high voltage.

Re:325 CMF?

[flyingfsck]

Hmm, lessee. The earth is about 24000km in circumference, so an hour is about 1000km and a minute would be about 17km. So 325 cubic minutes (5000 cubic kilometers) per foot would result in a rather high compression ratio. I can feel a big bang coming on... ;)

Re:325 CMF?

[qbwiz]

No, you should be thinking in terms of space-time. 1 minute = 60 seconds. 60s*c = 5.90142634*10^10 feet. Cubing that, we get 2.05527989*10^32 ft^3/ft, or the surface area of 4*10^16 earths, rather larger than what you got.

Cubic meters per fortnight

[abpend]

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.

Cat Allergy - You need the Michelin Mallet

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!

Iconic

[verloren]

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.

Re:laptop use

[Anonymous Coward]

Not for laptops but I use the stack (or chimney) effect [wikipedia.org] to cool my PC.

I build a small fire in the case to get it going - call it ironic cooling.

applications..

[jovius]

The applications of an intergalactic drive seem plentiful.

Re:Cat Allergy - You need the Michelin Mallet

Where is the "gruesome but effective" moderation when you need it. :-)

Sure, but what I'd like to have is

[hey!]

Corinthian or Doric cooling.

How do you make a dog go 'MREEEOOOWW'?

Freeze it then push it through a table saw.
