I’m more excited about those Frore MEMS airjet chips.

That’s actually in at least one consumer product right now.

It would be a good use case; however, you can only do so much with a cut down version of a SOC that was originally made in 2015. It may be work for very little gains.

Sadly, there would be no reaction mass.

All that would happen is the lcd panel would boil and crack, and the processor would overheat soon after because nothing is carrying away the heat.

Doesn’t an ionic air moving system like this put out a big ass EM field?

Im a fabricator who don’t fuck with the lecky, but maybe someone more educated than me can explain why this doesn’t wipe your memory every time the cooling kicks on
