The fanless heatsink: Silent, dust-immune, and almost ready for prime time
<i>if every conventional heatsink in the US was replaced with a Sandia Cooler, the country would use 7% less electricity. For the most part, these savings would come from air conditioning and refrigeration systems</i><p>How does that work?  Is the same amount of heat not being expelled from the chip into the room?  Does transferring the heat with a smaller fan somehow make it smaller heat?
