Abstract:
An autonomous, portable cooling device for use with a laptop computer having a base comprising:a single, autonomous sheet of material in external communication with said base of said laptop computer; said sheet of material being bent sinuously so as to form a plurality of spaced, recurring maximum and minimum surface points; said plurality of maximum surface points being disposed across and in direct contact with said base, said maximum surface points in direct contact with said base of said laptop computer minimally contacting said base so as to avoid blocking air vents in said base of said laptop computer and structurally independent thereto, while said minimum surface points and all areas of said single sheet between said maximum and minimum surface points being exposed to an ambient air environment; said sheet being formed from a material of high thermal conductivity so as to provide rapid heat transfer; and said sheet further having a thermal radiant heat enhanced protective coating added to make it efficient for thermal radiant heat transfer as well as more durable for portability and resistant to corrosion; whereby the free passage of air flowing across said sheet of material when in contact with said base provides cooling for said laptop computer.
