Micro cooling device

Fast computers are today becoming a common thing. To keep these computers running fast, the heat generated from the internal components needs to be addressed. A new device called the viscous disk air flow displacement device is presented, which allows a large amount of air to be moved using the viscous effects of rotating disk. It is especially unique in its ability to fit into tight places, move relatively large amounts of air and can be used in applications where axial fans cannot be used.

Benefits
The practical application of this device is in the field of small to medium electronic devices, mainly desktop and laptop computers, PDA�s, and other hand held electronic devices. It could also be used in any device which requires cooling devices in tight or awkward positions.

Stage of Development
This technology is part of an active and ongoing research program, has a research prototype, and is seeking partners for manufacturing of the final product. It is available for developmental research support/licensing under either exclusive or non-exclusive terms.
