I'm just making an educated guess, but it looks like the challenge they couldn't overcome is that the thing has to be oriented "up". They gloss over the "air bearing" -- which is identified as the key to transferring heat from the base to the fins -- but the spinning bit /hovers/ over the base when it gets up to speed. That's because gravity holds it "down" ... which it can't do if you tip the heat sink on its side. As a consumer product, that's a real limitation. *Edit:* the first commenter seems to have found a statement released by Sandia, explaining that a compression spring is used to hold the impeller and base together (not gravity, like it appears in the video).

It works independent of orientation The most common misconception seems to be that the Sandia heatsink only works in a horizontal orientation. In the KZbin video released by Sandia the cooler is demonstrated like this, so it seems reasonable to assume the air bearing heatsink only operates on a horizontally plane. Yet as we all know, most computers have the motherboard vertically oriented... According to the developers, the Sandia cooler is in fact orientation agnostic - meaning the air bearing is not affected by gravity and the spinning aluminum fins will operate vertically, horizontally, upside-down or at an angle. A compression spring is used to hold the impeller and base together, not gravity.

Hey, alysdexia? Hard drives work sideways because they have **a solid shaft running up the middle**. This thing is floating on a cushion of air.

I think the BIGGEST stoppingstone in this "cooler" is something called the Second Law of Murphodynamics: if it looks too good to be true, its probably a scam. Maybe. If you ever paid attention in physics class, you know that air has one lousy heat capacity. The top part may make sense, but how should heat travel through the "dynamic air suspension"? From the baseplate to the radiator fins? PLUS, there is something called "deadloop" in thermodynamics. Where heated up or "spent" air is reused in the coolingcycle. When hot air is expelled from the sides, its also sucked back in through the top. Talking about 30x more efficency...well, the rotary radiator might, but the isolation from the baseplate and very high chance of deadloops, the efficency of the overall cooler is pointless.

***** Yeah, maybe the 1/10th of a mm with some "cold plasma" like energy transfer (compressed air) could do the trick. But still, its too sci-fi for me. Even ordinary coolers need thermal paste to fill in microscopic cracks... And I stand by my deadloop thing. I see a high potential of air getting re-used :/

***** You can easly test this on your own computer: take off you cooler and install it without any thermal paste. Run some temp program. Install the cooler again with thermal paste... compare temps with and without paste. There is also a VERY VERY thin layer of air there. Ok, to give some thought to it: the "cold plasma" thing i mentioned. There could be a channel for heat-energy through high pressure gas. Maybe even motion can contribute at "grabbing" heat and transfering it. But still. I think such transfer is very inefficent :/

do you realize that it usually takes around 10 years for new technologies to reach the market? That said, they compare it to regular heatsinks, and not stuff like cpu tower coolers with heatpipes, so I doubt they'd prove beneficial in regular computers for quite a while. Application in the industry is probably already happening at a small scale.

Dmitri Felbinger that must be why we had heatpipes in computers in 1960.. OR, we didn't, which shows that in some cases it takes a MUCH longer time. especially when it is things that were made for industrial application and not consumer products. You can expect that this will be in some industrial use now(which would then be considered a corporate secret, and you wouldn't know about it), OR within a few years, when efficiency has been further improved. And you can expect it to take a LONG while before we see these in consumer products.

The difference probably isn't the RPM, but the fact that those gaps are so narrow and there aren't diagonal slopes. The air is forced through at presumably higher speeds and more uniformly (less weird aerodynamic effects happen at the blade surfaces and allow dust to collect).

It's in the design. The typical fan blade cuts through air, each time pushing a slice of air forward, perpendicular to the blade, this creates lots of friction and static electrostatic, trapping dust on the blades themselves. With this design, air is centrifugally flung out of through the gaps between the blades with higher velocity so even at 200 rpm, the exit velocity is much higher. But I do see two problems with this though. First being that the viscosity of the air doesn't change and fluid dynamics would suggest that a layer of turbulence will still form along the surface of the blades, trapping some dust along with static created from the friction. But because the velocity is much higher, larger dust particle should be pushed through more easily. Second, dust have to land somewhere, if not on the blades, then on the heatsink down the line. The way the fan is implemented (ie, by Cooler Master) would mean that dust fling off the fan will just get caught by the heatsink. Another interesting thing, however, is the switch in how air is pulled into the fan, from a planar nature to a turbine-ish system, this would make it easier to filter the air beforehand if needed.

@Hoshimi Draws because heat transfer coefficient of air is vastly less than that of metal, normal heat sinks have very large surface area and a thermal paste on the contact pad. even a thin layer of air at the contact pad significantly reduces the entire device's capacity to transfer heat, that's why traditional heat sinks practically stop working if you leave a gap in your thermal paste layer. in this proposal there's an air gap without thermal paste at all.

When the fins start moving, they create a low pressure area on their 'back' side (the one pointing away from the direction of rotation) at the tips, which pulls air outward along the fins. That results in the pressure dropping in the center which pulls air down. Also, the fins are thicker near the center than they are at the edges which will help the air accelerate away from the middle too.

That's the main concern I've actually spotted so far. Modern top-of-the-line god tier air coolers like Noctua's NH-D14, Cryorig's R1 Ultimate, and other massive towers, have their fans oriented that way so they exhaust the hot air at the back of the case, where the actual exhaust is. This technology's design (and even Coolchip's improved model's), on the other hand, obviously just throws the hot air out everywhere, in all directions, which is an actually extremely bad thing if you have shitty air cooling chart in your PC case by default, and especially if you're putting something like this in a SSF factored systems like ITX or HTPCs. That's a massive problem. And how these guys (or hell - even Coolchip itself) are going to fix this problem, if they're able to anyway, which I doubt, is beyond me, until I'll see the goddamn thing working by my own eyes, in a consumer build.

I ended up mounting a water cooler on the outside of the case because I found nothing that used the space I had efficiently. I had noticed this cooler designed, and I was intrigued, but could not find a commercial product to buy. I do wonder if it will work in a vertical setting, will the air bearing still be functional? I'm thinking the rotating piece looks fairly heavy, and the center axle might flex to make the pieces touch at the bottom.

It was pretty noisy because of case fans and it ran pretty cool (never exceeded 58°C). But I don't play hardcore games anymore, just light things like Asphalt 8.

***** I thought I said I _had_ a FX (I sold it to buy my tablet and kept my old rig). I'm not really planning to upgrade the Sempron, as it has 2 GB of RAM and it's motherboard has a broken SATA port (for whatever reason, it won't recognize anything plugged in it). Also, being SATA II it won't help, since I want an SSD. Upgrading it might save me some money in the short run, but I plan to do it for the long run. Indeed, the Athlon II x2 have great unlock rates, but my motherboard was cheap to begin with, I'm not really trusting it anymore. Also, it's HDDs are dying as well. It has a 320 5400 RPM laptop HDD and it loads very hard, like 10 minutes to boot and use Windows 10 (it was the same with 8.1). When opening apps, it takes around 2 minutes to open things like Opera. After the apps have been opened, they run fairly well though. On the bright side, it's other 80 GB 5400 RPM laptop HDD runs Ubuntu and it's pretty fast except for boot times. After boot, it loads things almost instantly (and this one is at least 5 years older than the 320 GB one). On the bigger picture, I'm not living where my PC is anymore (I moved in another city), so I'll make sure that PC is running smoothly for my mom to use a small accounting software in Windows, while I build another rig (and I want to get a bigger resolution and dimension monitor. I used 17 inches 1280x1024 and now I want something around 22 inches or bigger 1080p or 1920x1200 (I like 16:10 aspect ratios). My plans are for the best 65W Raven Ridge APU (hopefully it will have HBM), 16 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz or higher (I'd love the juice of up to 4133 MHz RAM, but I'm not sure the motherboard will support it), a mini-ITX motherboard and a 256 / 512 GB SSD (if the motherboard will have M.2, I'll get something like a 64 GB for the OS and a 256 GB SATA SSD for storage), a low profile air cooler and 1 or 2 case coolers, depending on the space of the case (and some dust filters while I'm at it). No dGPU. Money aren't really a problem (of course I can't afford $3000 builds, but something around $800 is fair enough for me to spend).

***** Well, I kind of want a 40 in TV :D. I plan on 16 GB just for quad channel that I hope Zen will support (4 x 4 GB DDR4). And hopefully there will be mini-ITX motherboards with 4 DIMM slots (there are some on Intel's part). Also, quad channel is _almost_ double the bandwidth of dual channel DDR4, which will help an APU's iGPU a lot. I'm hoping it has HBM, but I too take it with grains of salt. HBM will drive the cost a lot on AMD's side, so I don't think they want to risk it. Quad channel DDR4 3200 is ~100 GB/s bandwidth, which is very close to what 1 stack of HBM gen 1 can achieve (128 GB/s). Paired with something like a 4 x86 cores and 12 gpu cores (for a total of 16 CU), without taking into consideration Zen architecture and Polaris improvements, I think 1080p high settings AAA gaming is achievable without anti-aliasing. Also, being sick of 2 GB of RAM only and seeing that games these days require 8 GB of RAM, I kind of want to future proof this build. I know it's overkill, but I might run some VMs on it (my main OS will be Linux), so 16 GB might be worth it (considering I won't be changing this build for ~7 years).

They explained it does not led dust particles go near it, because of the air flow it makes. But yes, it seems to me rather dangerous to fingers when rotating in the case, because it is a metal at high speed, but I can also guess that metal is very light, and will stop very fast if touched. I just also do not understand vertical or upside-down mounting options for device. And are there noiseless motors to pair it with the fan?

Will this actually work when it's positioned sideways like most coolers used in PC towers? Seems like gravity and the air bearing are counteracting eachother when it's positioned like in the video. But in not a single demo have I seen it on its side, and I think that's because gravity will try to tilt the top part of this cooler, which in turn will hamper its movement.

@maddogfarg0, you are forgetting the fact that you can transfer heat between the gap between the heat sink impeller and the base plate. Remember there is air between that gap that serves as a thermal barrier between the two objects. As long as there is a thermal gradient between the air and the base plate and the air and the impeller, there will be heat transfer and thus cooling. Note that the thermal barrier in the Sandia design is smaller than conventional heat exchangers and more efficient.

That's the reason they use an air bearing. It's the same concept your hard drive uses to float the heads over the platters- air is carried along the surface of the moving object and in doing so forms a thin film that provides both thermal conduction and mechanical cushioning. And I know air bearings work- a large machine that I work with uses a similar mechanism called air lift, enabling over 10 tons to be moved one-handed through a simple crank and screw arrangement to push it along the guide

On the contrary, the speed at which it's spinning brings the size of the gap down tremendously, making for excellent heat interchange. This is a really cool solution to cooling, actually.

And how to best use the blades to bring air further down the impeller without creating lift, like most blade solutions would.

Does it work when rotated on it's side? Every PC i have ever owned has the MB on it's side in the case meaning the fan would be on it's side too. Also the air spun out from the cooler is travelling in all directions, most decent airflow setups inside cases are based on the principal that the air is controlled through the entire case to make sure clean cool air is pulled into the case flows through the case and then is exhausted out the case in a particular way. Having a 360 degree fan in the middle of a case fucking up the air flow sounds like a step backwards.

jusk i think you are right because the video at a certain point was claiming it could potentially be 'silent' in it's final itereation, though overall in the video I think they were claiming it is significiantly quieter than traditional fans, while also being more efficient at cooling - not that it would be completely silent.The CoolChip cooler prototype that was shown at CES this year in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5nKn4moirGki9U, which liscences the Sandia technology claims to be 20db quieter than a commercial fan at the same RPM while removing more heat. There's various reports online about this prototype which confirm that it does seem significantly quieter.Not really fair to nail the design by interpreting the claim of being quiter as claiming it will be silent, and that accumulating less dust as accumulating no dust. I'm excited about a consumer cooler that is 20db quieter, while being say 50% more efficient.

Look at the technology before you make nonsense comments. You should not waste words and energy of your speech by not understanding first the technology. My family has a background of technologists in machine development and construction machinery. We have replaced common bearing designs with custom made air-bearings for our machines because they are that much better and maintenance free. We didn't go through PhDs to understand this. We just saw something that works and implemented it. This technology works. The fact that its not gotten out yet means that the company has either received a lot of money to not produce the technology; if it does ever get into production, it'll be very inefficient and so people will not buy it. Hey if I was given $50+ million to shut up, I would. This would probably retail for $50 considering the manufacturing cost of less than $10. 1 million units could easily be sold, profiting of $40 million. When you take something from prototype to production, you actually make the product better and not the other way around. This is a simple design and the company claims to have had started production but with only 7x performance compared to the 30x stated, which is non-sense. There are so many companies selling CPU coolers. This would make them all obsolete. Understand the technology and then make your claims about what the company has gone through. The company doesn't matter. It's the technology. Understand it and use it. My elder brother is a mechanical engineer specialized in the production of automotive parts. The company he was hired by through a HR team required him and the team to make parts for vehicles. They came up with a design to last 15-20 years on commonly used motor parts with an increased cost, but not that high. However, the plans were refused and were told to use materials and designs that would last for 2 years as the company couldn't sustain the increased cost. Which is total bullshit. We live in a very different world now. Go figure.

They pointed out in the video @3:18 that the noise was due to the motor running without a cover, and would not be present in the finished product. Also, this sound to me like it's being aimed more at industrial applications, meaning that the downtime of the motor would be minimal, which translates into little time being stationary and collecting dust.

It's good the air bearing working horizontal but have you tested it in a real application as most motherboards are vertically mounted?

I don't think this is meant for vertical usage, nor do they necessarily have the home PC market in mind. They mention solid-state lighting so I assume this is to dissipate heat because currently many of these solutions require large passive coolers.

So, this impeller collects heat, therefore it gets hot. I am wondering how the air's direction would vary due to the expanding metal (due to the heat). ?

I wondered that too, but i assume that there is something preventing it from lifting off and flying away..

The objective is to remove the stagnated air between the fins. So doesn't adding a layer of air between the IHS and the fins just move the problem closer to the element? I mean, if it works it works but until I see proof this can outperform a heatpipe cooler I think it is a beautiful gimmick.

details were sketchy on dust collection in the air bearing and the thermal conductivity of the air bearing

They explain it at 1:45 - they make that layer extremely thin (the same method as getting that tiny distance from a hard drive's disk to its read/write head).
