(July 11, 2016) Where electric cars and hoverboards both use lithium-ion cells, electric cars will have a more diligent manufacturing process and thus more heat control. According to blog CarAndDriver.com, “Automotive-grade cells are very, very different [from the cheaply made hoverboards’]: meticulously manufactured, precisely temperature-controlled lithium-ion and … [Read more...]
Application of Phase Change Materials in Handheld Computing Devices
William Maltz, Darryl Moore, and Arun Raghupathy 1. Introduction With peak loads often in the order of minutes and ergonomic considerations limiting surface temperatures and acoustical noise, handheld devices, such as smart phones or tablets, are excellent candidates for use of phase change materials (PCMs). Processor loads in handheld products are highly variable. There … [Read more...]
Research Underway for Heat Conductor Substitutes for Diamond
(July 5, 2016) Thanks to a research grant awarded from the Office of Naval Research for pursuing “high risk-high reward” scientific and technological breakthroughs, six universities are working to develop cost-effective and high-quality substitutes for diamond as a heat conductor. Diamond was recently discovered to be the best available heat conductor, however it is too rare … [Read more...]
New Type of Graphene Could Increase Processor Clock Speeds
(May 19, 2016) Recently, scientists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), the Institute of Physics and Technology RAS, and Tohoku University (Japan), have developed a new type of graphene-based transistor, whose modeling demonstrates that it has ultralow power consumption compared with other similar transistor devices. The newly proposed design was for a … [Read more...]
Thin “Super-Flow Micro” Fan Offers 0.60cfm
JARO has recently released their newest Micro-Fan available with 0.60cfm. The fan measures 17x17x4 mm (at 15,000rpm), and offers a static pressure of 2.413 mm H2O, according to JARO. With operating voltages from 2.8 to 3.5Vdc, the life expectancy is 50,000 hours. It is ideal for space-limited applications, including UAVs (Unmanned-Aerial-Vehicles), pocket projectors, PDA, … [Read more...]
