Keep your computer cool - Ionic cooling

Some new cooling systems are in order for the ever-growing heat produced by new generation processors. And although for now it's just a project, the new ionic cooling project is just crazy enough to work. Water cooling systems, considered one of the best solutions to date might become obsolete if the developers manage to scale down their prototype and launch the product on the market.

The idea behind ionic cooling is that small "wind engines" will generate a constant flow of positively charged particles (ions) over the microchip, thus dissipating the heat in a much more efficient way. Traditional fans, although provide a strong flow of air have problems in removing molecules really close to the processor, and it's exactly those particles that keep the microchip hot. This won't be a problem of course for the ion cooling system, as it can move these particles in an ergonomic way to provide optimized cooling.

Here's what researchers have to say about it:

“Other experimental cooling-enhancement approaches might give you a 40% or a 50% improvement (1.4 to 1.5 times the cooling rate of a conventional fan). A 250% improvement (3.5 times the cooling rate of a conventional fan) is quite unusual.”
