http://gizmodo.com/369860/video-rsd5-so ... -in-action Kind of neat, I don't think this has been posted before, but it looks like a very cool technology that could really break through alot of barriers for many devices. Lets hear your input. |

I saw this a week or so ago (probably on Giz as well but it could have been Slashdot) and it looks like it's using the same concepts that those light weight ionic flyers use. I believe Mythbusters featured them before and they are basically thin pieces of paper with a foil over them and a wire elevated off them, with toothpicks, and when a high current is run through them they hover from the ionic wind. I seem to recall these solid state fans can disapate the heat produced by a 25 Watt chip too so it's not too bad when you consider low power mobile chips even in laptops. |
