I’ve posted information about Stirling Engines before:

If you follow that link you’ll find a kit which can I used to build such an engine and video of it in operation.
What is cool about this latest application to cool a CPU is that it doesn’t require any additional energy to run.
Sorry to mark words, but it will not produce free energy 🙂
You do have to add extra energy to make it work. In this case the extra energy applied is heat from the CPU!
It would cool a little bit more effective if you remove the two MSI stickers blocking (what it looks like almost a 1/3 of the airflow, must be the stupid marketing people putting them there) the air. 🙂
