Looks like mainstream watercooling is definitely just around the corner. And what's more, it seems like it's also going to bring an influx of new technology. Cooligy's water cooling concept looks pretty interesting. Micron-scale water channels and an electrokinetic pump. Ultra-efficient heat transfer and no moving parts...sounds pretty nice. The only problem I see with this particular setup is that every EK pump that I've heard of produces flowrates measured in microliters per second. Assuming their pump is along the same lines, then we're looking at some seriously low flowrates. Granted, you could always just make things bigger and more powerful, but that isn't what you're trying to accomplish with watercooling. Anyway, I'm curious how it's going to perform, or whether Cooligy's system is just going to turn out to be more vaporware.
Figured you guys might be interested. Anyone out there know more about EK pumps, or Cooligy's setup in general?
