  • A major laptop manufacturer is expected to show off an ion drive at CES. (Tom's Hardware)

    The Frore Airjet uses a piezoelectric element to silently produce an airstream to cool whatever it is attached to. The problem is that it is not particularly power efficient - only about one fifth as effective as laptop fans, which are not themselves paragons of efficiency.

    The Ventiva ICE is an ionic engine. Also silent, it ionises the air molecules to attract them to a metal grate, where they are deionised but keep right on moving, creating an airflow which cools your laptop.

    This isn't the first time that someone has come up with this idea, though, so we're going to have to see whether they can make it work. Previous efforts have been very sensitive to dust buildup, which is enough of a problem with fans but renders ion blasters useless.
