Micro-pump is cool idea for future computer chips
Off-topic posts about cooling computer chips, starting with a link to a micro-pump idea from jobandstudy. jacko and rickman debated Peltier effect heat pumps and efficiency. It has nothing to do with Informix and looks like spam-linked content.

Peltier effect is a horrible way to remove heat. It generates about twice as much heat as it moves so that for every Watt you want to extract, you have to then get rid of 3 Watts! It is useful on larger scales when you want to move heat and don't have the space to use anything that might actually be somewhat efficent.
