Swaying CPU Fans 166

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday December 18, 2001 @10:28AM from the floating-in-the-breeze dept.

Vindi submitted a New Scientist story about a CPU fan that flaps in the breeze. 2cm metal or polyester fan blades, and use less power then a traditional rotary fan. They move less air then the traditional fan, but for laptops, using 99% less power can't hurt. Update Hey its a duplicate from saturday! Guess I shouldn't post while planning my trek to see LotR tomorrow. Go ahead, flame on.

Fans may have evolved to the point where they don't have to keep going around in circles, but Slashdot hasn't.

is it me, or have the moderators gone completely bonkers today?

No - I think they got that one about right. :)

The other story deals with cpu cooling fans that are little waving thingees that move FROM SIDE TO SIDE.

This story is about a cpu cooling fan with little waving thingees that move UP AND DOWN.

It's obviously a completely different technology!

What I want to know is just what the people in this industry did to CmdrTaco that would make him Slashdot their servers twice in a week?
