Web News: Magnetic fluid/oil the next mobile cooler?

Heatsinks are huge, fans are drum bursting and window smashing, CPUs are cooking your tea. The Japanese have come to the rescue (again) with a magnetic fluid that wont need electricity or any form of power.

[quote] According to the Nikkei Business Daily, Da Vinci's device, developed together with boffins at the University of Tokyo, will use metal alloy nanoparticles mixed with oil. The report said a hollow magnet in the piping will act like a pump to move the magnetic fluid, drawing the nano oil into the heat exchanger and drawing heat from a CPU. The hot oil then switches to the other side of the heat exchanger where it cools down. And so it goes. [quote]

The best thing? They're in mass production next year

, and cost Ã‚Â¥1'500 ($14)

car manufacturers and monster trucks are trying this fluid in shock absorbers .thay apply a magnetic field to increase or decrease viscosity eliminating complex internal valving. (active suspension) . simplified its really just uniform sized powdered iron in oil.
