Jet Engine Cooling Tech Destined For Next-Gen Gadgets
Cooling electronics has always been a bit of a catch-22 as far as we're concerned. You go too far and the solution becomes far too noisy, not enough and things start to cook. Where water cooling offers the best of both, you have to leave system mobility at the door as once it’s up and running, it’s most certainly not moving. General Electric (GE) have taken a different approach. Using a method inspired by our own lungs, it's developed a miniature set of bellows they’re calling 'Dual Piezoelectric Cooling Jets' for the next-generation of gadgets.
Our Own Heartbeat Could Power Future Pacemakers
We've already seen scientists propose harnessing glucose within the human body could power self-sufficient medical implants, now scientists have proved our own heart beat could generate enough electricity to power pacemakers.
