notebook cooling - Page 3

Sometimes, after prolonged periods of physical exercise involving my lower extremities, my privates tend to overheat, creating excessive moisture. Perhaps if I moved my legs fast enough, I could create a partial vacuum that would pull the warm air away from my privates? However, I would not want to jeopardize the nature process of cooling via evaporation. Again, it seems like we may be in a position where the natural cooling processes may be suplanted and rendered less effective by additional cooling means.

Perhaps some field experimentation is necessary?

Also, after many such cycles of the above are repeated without sufficient application of cleansing agents, a strange oder is emitted from my privates....


I sure hope no women read this....

Sorry, I kinda skipped through this thread so I could post so if this has been brought up before or whatnot then just ignore it but anyway.

I recieved a CompUSA laptop cooler for Christmas and it rocks. Its just a metal slab that is angled slightly that has little holes in it. On the bottom it has some metal pieces that are supposed to work like a heat pump. This thing isn't powered, and has no fans, so of course its silent. The cool part about it is that it actually works. While playing Battlefield 1942 for hours on end, the laptops fans blew cooler air than w/o the stand. If you touched the bottom with the "heat pumps" it is almost ice cold (well not exactly, but its very cool). Anyway, if anyone was looking for a no-power solution then I would definately recomend this thing.

Is it this?



Seems kind of expensive for one with no fans. Can you use it on your lap or does it get too hot?

How heavy?, is my question.

That would be the one, and it doesn't weight anything, very light.

Sorry didn't see the rest of your post. Yes it works great in your lap, I like to use that while on my lap so the fans on the bottom of the note book don't get blocked. The only thing I don't like about it is that the edges arn't rolled.

Lol, wow, disgusting at some point. I just love reading this thread :-) Btw, size with fans doesn't matter, you can get a partial vacuum... same principle with water, tis called the Bernouli Principle, you get a partial vacuum in the air around a faucet when you run water out of it because of the passing water, so I'm sure you get it when you run fans :-) Now, whether it practically matters or not, who knows, lol.

Those lappy coolers are great cuz they get the fans up and away from surfaces, better airflow. That's the whole idea behind my cooler mod. You can make one yourself easily with regular metal shelving that they use in pantries and stuff. Just the non-solid ones so you get airflow, lol.

I think bernoulli has two L's but I'm not sure. I'd look it up but it's late.

Why did we even get into partial vacuums? Non metal solids? Huh?
