Abstract:
1. An electronic system comprising: a component that heats up during operation; and an acoustic dampening air moving assembly comprising air moving blades, a motor, a support structure, and a single housing, the support structure directly attached to the housing, the motor attached to the air moving blades to rotate the air moving blades, the support structure supporting the motor and the air moving blades within the housing, the housing at least partially comprising a first material selected for its acoustic dampening characteristics, and the support structure at least partially comprising a second material selected for its acoustic dampening characteristics, wherein: the acoustic dampening air moving assembly moves air to the component to cool the component, the first material and the second material dampen acoustic vibrations within the electronic system, and the motor is directly attached to the support structure, the support structure has a circular frame defining a first circular hole within which the air moving blades rotate, and the housing defines a second circular hole within which the circular frame of the support structure is disposed.
