How does it work?

The principle behind the "Sandia Cooler" can be seen in schematic way in the picture above. The entire cooling block is being driven be a motor which makes the cooler rotate a several thousand rotations per minute. Through the effect of negative pressure environmental air is being sucked into the cooler itself. The cooling block is placed 0.03 millimeter above a fixed groundplate. The dissipating power travels throught the base plate and through the 0.03 millimeter thin air layer to the rotating cooling block. Throughout the a centrifugal effect warm air which first passes the hot base plate move to the inside of the cooler and then passes the fins which are very close to eachother.
