Claim:
An apparatus comprising: an assisted heat pipe that comprises an evaporator section and a condenser section, the evaporator section converting a fluid from a liquid to a vapor and the condenser section converting the vapor to the liquid; a blower inserted between the evaporator section and the condenser section, wherein the blower is encapsulated within the assisted heat pipe and assists the vapor in traveling from the evaporator section to the condenser section by receiving the vapor from the evaporator section, redirecting the received vapor in a perpendicular direction, and transmitting the re-directed vapor to the condenser section; and an intake section between the evaporator section and the blower that directs the vapor from the evaporator section to a blower intake that is located at a center portion of the blower, the intake section being a truncated cone in shape and tapering from wider to narrower from the evaporator section to the blower.
