Researchers have developed a ventilation system totally devoid of moving parts.
The airflow is generated simply by turning the assembly. The difficulty of the exercise is to increase the maximum current in the system and thereby create the maximum air flow without ever causing arcing which would destroy the components supposed to be cooled.
The airflow achieved is far higher than that generated by a conventional fan, up to 35x (surface equivalent), according to researchers
