This may not be a way to make electricity, but you might be able to grill steak's on the heatsink. |

lol theres a few things in that boffins can do ...i wonder when the tech will become available ? http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/06/070603225026.htm theres one idea... google "turning heat into electrical energy" great ideas though.. the whole thing of doing loads of calculations and creating lots of waste heat sucks.... one day people will look back on these digital times like we do now at steam and the industrial revolution... regards adrian 63.

Can you use the drippings as heatsink compound? ;) -Dave |

Not sure if would work as heat sink compound, but might work as replacement for bearing grease on the noisy fans!

thinking about wind turbines generating electricity... I've been working on something similar, but it involves copious amounts of pork and beans. |

thinking about wind turbines generating electricity... Too much information Old enough to know better(but)still young enough not to care |
