Abstract:
An electrical apparatus employing alternating current to flow through or within close proximity to the apparatus for a first purpose, the apparatus including a cooling mechanism comprising a flexible reed having an elongated length with a first end anchored to the electrical apparatus and a second end cantilevered from the first end with a portion of the elongated length substantially adjacent the second end, as compared to the spacing of the portion from the first end, constructed of a material that is influenced by a magnetic field set up by the alternating current to cause excitation of the reed at or near its resonant frequency with the alternating current influencing excitation of the reed flowing through the electrical apparatus substantially adjacent the first end relative the spacing of the flow of electrical current from the second end, without diverting any of the alternating electrical current from the first purpose.
