These new power-generating heat cells, which are not thermo-couples, but silicon-based like the ones used for light, mind you, can be used in a variety of things. What sounds to me like one of the most efficient uses is computer cooling. This is because they generate so much heat, and run only on electricity.
I propose that the normal cooling fans and heatsinks be used, with the cells lining the sides, and placed on another huge heatsink, perhaps in a seperate cabinet, for the air. This way, in the event of any type of failure of the heat cells, the computer can go on normal operation. There would, however, be cells directly attached to devices such as cd-rom's since they basically go uncooled anyway, but generate a huge amount of heat. Forgive me for my choppy typing and bad use of words. It's late and I can't thik straight.

If someone could explain the flaw here. Why can't part of the heat energy be used to move the heat quickly (faster than just dissipating) out of the box, using refrigeration? For example, old Amoniac (sp?) refrigerators worked on heat from electricity. Couldnt this be repeated with CPUs? |

Anybody for a pointer which explains the subject well? |

Also, fog, see link for the technology you'll be using. |
