HyperCooled Laptop 2005

Well the other night, I was doing something on my computer that had the CPU fan on it running all the time, and for those of you who have ever experienced it, laptop fans aren't generally the quietest when their actually running. So with the temperature outside plummeting to around -15, i fugured, if I could tap some of that cool and put it under my laptop it won't need to run the fan as much. 15 minutes later the HyperCooled Laptop 2005 was born. It was great, but alas not perfect, due to the efficiency of the heat piping, (a beach towel - don't ask why I have a beach towel in this climate, it's a long story) I only had 10 degree air reaching my laptop, but it was enough. The fan stop whirring, and my room wasn't starting to freeze (too quickly). Check out the design, it's pretty fancy. It used such materials as, a CD case, two travel Books, a Beach Towel, Curtains, Pens, a Muesli Bar and even my desk chair.



Above Left: The entire Contraption, Right: The cool air rolls down the towel straight under the laptop - Bonza! (Note: the temperature monitor on the towel!)



Above: Very cold outside and straight to laptop!

Note: For budding copycats, this may only work in the sub zeroness of Canada.
