Saw this one about an hour ago..

This is something TOTALLY New and Unique in 'mechanical' cooling technology , Really Out of the Box thinking >>

Solid State ACTIVE Cooling Device - AirJet by Frore Systems

Completely Blows traditional fans out of the water...

It's NOT a Dyson (or their clones) where the fan blades are just hidden inside the main body of the device.
There is NO Blades!!

That is very interesting. I could see those being used on ESCs but worry about the thin membrane and the dirt/debris that RC applications get subjected to.

Apparently they thought of that also...
Check out the 2nd video, they talk about dust contamination issues.

Interesting. I wonder how this compares to Peltier / thermoelectric coolers since there isn't a thickness restriction this design seems to be addressing.

Apparently this AirJet device doesn't have to generate a large temperature gradient like Peltier coolers to work..
Which is a Big plus.

 

[LibertyMKiii]

Peltier coolers are noted to be around 5% efficient. This seems to work pretty well based on their performance claims.

I do wonder how well the membranes will work with the shock and vibrations of an RC car environment

I'll have to try and make contact with this company and see if I can get a hold of some samples...
I'm sure we at AF can give it a solid Real World Thrashing ..I mean Testing.

Powered by spektrum 500$ for the 3s capable esc please

If it's made with silicon ,then they can produce these by the hundreds (or thousands) on a 8-10" wafer.. The device itself could be cheaper than traditional fans to manufacture.

Look's promising. I do wonder how air flow is silent though? I mean sure theres ways to reduce buffeting but silent? Hmm..

I figured @KnowAir would know that about air

 

[KnowAir]

Moving air @120mph silently!? Sounds crazy to me. I'm generally a low tech guy, so I'm kinda "blown" away by how that's possible..
Guess I gotta change my screen name now..

You know what they say about the butterfly effect..
"One little butterfly flaps its wings... causes a tsunami on the other side of the planet"

Now imagine if you have a thousand nano flappers on a chip, all vigorously flapping away in the same direction..
The air velocity for let's say a distance of 3 to 4" in a Second is equivalent to 120 Miles in a HOUR.

Oh, I thought the butterfly effect was just a movie
TBH, it's not how the air is moved that suprises, but rather that airspeed without noise? Either way, supercool! Even if it never trickles down to my classification

It's all in the physics..
High Velocity @ Very short distances
