Pumping an impressive 25 cubic metres of air per second Zalman are confident that the ‘Big Boy Turbo Mega Fan 2’ will be able to keep any Intel CPU, up to and including the Pentium 4 670 3.8GHz, running cool in even the warmest conditions.

My ass! Moving that much air would require about FIVE HUNDRED horsepower (about 375kW) and about an 8 foot diameter blade. 25 cubic feet per minute is far more likely.Quote:

There is a slight error in the article, it says that it was developed with British Aerospce, but I forgot to mention that they got the guys at Cern to do the bearings for them using there particel accelerator technology... hence the massive speeds, size and power consumption.
Unfortunately, given that the bearing is essentially a scaled down magnetic flux accelerator, they can't, at this time, shrink it anymore. This is due to the possibility of creating a singularity with the fan bearing at high speeds. They are working on it though.
