MSI has developed a new cooling fan chipset that is capable of functioning without electricity. MSI’s new chipset cooler, which is called “Air Power Cooler,” offers all the benefits of a cooler with a fan without drawing any power.

Energy efficiency fans can make a huge difference, especially in enterprise environments where hundreds of computers are running at once. Although passive cooling is always possible, it does not offer the cooling capacity of a fan.

The new cooler MSI is not a passive cooler, but in fact uses a fan to cool the chip without using electricity. Ironically, the fan draws its power of the thing it is very tempting to delete - thermal energy.

The system is based on a beta version of the Stirling engine. As warm air is developing in the system, it applies to the central pressure of the piston by pushing the heatsink. The movement of the piston upward rotation of gears, which turns the fan. The thermal energy produced by the chipset is transformed into kinetic energy.

The fan blows through a common search for radiator fins to disperse the heat of Northbridge production.

DailyTech MSI indicates that the system is capable of converting 70% of the heat energy to kinetic energy. It is important to note that sufficient heat must be supplied to rotate the fan blades. If the chipset is not hot enough, the entire system will not run.

MSI works in the cooler with Taiwanese company Polo-Tech. The fan is powerless to make its debut on the MSI ECOlution at CeBIT 2008.
