Claim Text:
1. A heat transfer device comprising: a thermally conductive pipe having an interior cavity and an opening through said thermally conductive pipe to said interior cavity; and a heat transfer pipe disposed within said interior cavity, said thermally conductive pipe and said heat transfer pipe collaboratively defining a working fluid cavity for containing a working fluid, said heat transfer pipe slidably coupled to said thermally conductive pipe, said thermally conductive pipe and said heat transfer pipe collaboratively defining a length of said heat transfer device, wherein said heat transfer pipe is slidably movable between a first position at which the length of said heat transfer device is a minimum and a second position at which the length of said heat transfer device is a maximum, wherein substantially all of said heat transfer pipe is disposed within said interior cavity of said thermally conductive pipe in the first position and substantially all of said heat transfer pipe extends out of said thermally conductive pipe through the opening in the second position.
