Although most of the technology details for the Curiosity Rover are proprietary, we can guess that various heat-pipes of sorts may be on the Rover on Mars because of the efficiency and effectiveness ...

Authored by: Nelson J. Gernert, Vice President of Engineering and Technology, Thermacore Inc., Lancaster, Pa. Key points: Heat-pipe technology rejects multiple kilowatts of heat directly to ambient ...

New challenges facing thermal management include an increasing need for remote heat dissipation as well as more efficient thermal solutions with low weight, low cost, and high reliability. Heat pipes ...

Last month I wrote about early steam heating and how experimentation led to discovery, which led to new products or piping techniques. This time I will be writing about the early days of gravity hot ...

Fujitsu Labs of Kawasaki has developed a heat pipe cooling system with planar pipes less than 1mm thick. Rather than the vapour path and liquid wick sharing the same pipe as is common, the functions ...

ICs in today's laptop computers generate about 50 W/cm2 of heat. To prevent overheating, a fan, often a noisy one, blows heat down onto a copper heat sink on the bottom of the computer, which can ...

A researcher at Sandia National Laboratories says he has created technology to disperse the heat generated within laptop computers more efficiently than today's cooling systems. Sandia's Mike Rightley ...
