Piezoelectric fans have emerged as a promising technology in thermal management, particularly for applications in electronics cooling. These devices harness the piezoelectric effect to generate ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Research engineers at Purdue University are developing tiny, quiet fans that wiggle back and forth to help cool future laptop computers and other portable electronic gear. The ...

Scientists at Purdue University in the US have resurrected the concept of piezoelectric powered fan blades for use in cooling consumer electronics and semiconductor ICs. The researchers have created a ...

Cooling becomes a major issue as our beloved electronic gadgets shrink in size. We want things smaller, thinner and lighter and that causes a few problems for engineers. General Electric has just ...

WANT to hear something really cool? How about a tiny fan that consumes a fraction of the energy of a traditional fan and removes heat twice as fast as natural convection. Made of piezoelectric ...

Cooling fans are the bane of many a laptop user's existence. The tiny things are often over-taxed right out of the box and, after a year or two worth of dust and detritus gets in them, they complain ...

I was cleaning up my lab and found this great old product. This Piezo fan came out maybe 15 years ago. The company does not show up on Google very much—looks like it went out of business since it’s ...

Miniature devices that mimic the motion of a Chinese fan could be used to prevent computer chips overheating, say engineers at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. The new micro-fans could ...
