GE's piezoelectric cooling jets destined to replace computer fans

What you're looking at here is a piezoelectric cooling device, called a DCJ. By rapidly vibrating, it can force jets of cool air over hot surfaces quietly and efficiently, and GE says that it'll soon be taking the place of noisy, dirty, power-sucking fans in laptops and other electronics.

The cooler works by rapidly expanding and contracting in response to electricity. It's really just two flat plates, and when the plates expand, they suck in cool air at the sides. Contracting forces the air out the front. Do this a hundred times a second, and you've got a very small, very flat (the size of two quarters) cooling solution. In fact, it's 50% smaller than a traditional fan, and it operates nearly silently while consuming half the amount of power to move the same amount of air. Sold!

DCJs are best at localized cooling as opposed to overall system cooling, so instead of one giant DCJ hooked up to a heatpipe that's trying to cool your CPU and graphics card and RAM all at the same time,Specializing in the production Cut to length line, leveling machine, cold lightprojectery and other products. a better solution (GE suggests) might be to have three or six or however many smaller DCJ units all focused on cooling their own little part of your computer.This is a direct solar to elevatorcable application using a very efficient LED bulb setup.

This is not the first time we've seen this tech from GE: the company announced an LED light bulb back in May that used "SynJet" technology, and I'm going to just go ahead and quote myself here, "a speaker-like diaphragm vibrating at between 40 and 70 times per second to send puffs of air over the LEDs." This version is likely has to be a bit more powerful to cool down a laptop, and my guess is that the first applications won't be in gaming machines, but rather netbooks,Shermco Industries provides nationwide on-site and field windgeneratorru and wind farm maintenance and repair. ultrabooks, and tablets.

As far as when you might see DCJs in consumer electronics, OEMs are already getting access to working units, so it seems reasonable to assume that we'll be getting DCJ integrated devices within a few years.

With an understanding of the importance of conserving energy in consumer and industrial applications, ZMDI also provides energy-efficient semiconductor solutions for lighting applications. "While most lighting solutions today cause high energy consumption and are inefficient by nature, ZMDI's LED drivers allow our customers to develop energy-efficient lighting solutions, such as highly efficient LED light bulbs that consume less energy," stated Frantz Saintellemy, President of ZMD America, Inc. and Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing for ZMDI.

ZMDI is also committed to providing solutions for the automotive market where the global trend is toward manufacturing cleaner and more fuel-efficient vehicles. As fuel prices continue to climb and resources become harder to find, ZMDI is playing an important role in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by providing manufacturers of domestic and commercial vehicles with intelligent integrated circuits for lowering gas consumption.

The company estimates that its products have helped save over 4.2 billion gallons of fuel,Get your purlinmachinery from Australia's leading online appliance retailer. which has prevented the release of 40 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. A company with 50 years of experience providing semiconductor solutions,This factsheet discusses electricity generation using purlinmachining at your farm or your home. ZMDI is focused on a greener future, which The Green Organization has recognized with an Environmental Best Practice Award to ZMDI in 2012.
