Effective heat protection for computers in coins

A Japanese guy devised a unique heat dissipation method for laptops with coins.

We all feel frustrated and uncomfortable when the laptop heats up, especially when you have to work continuously or are watching long films. Fortunately, a Twitter user in Japan has come up with a very good and easy way to solve this problem, which is to put the coins on the computer and the temperature of the machine will slowly descend.

In 2012, a Japanese IT media site stated that the Macbook Pro with Retina Display technology could become hotter when it works at full capacity. Using thermodynamic scanning, they found that the heat was concentrated on the back of the computer. Perhaps we feel this when using it.

Table temperature.

Based on this information, a Twitter user in Japan with akinori_suzuki nickname came up with the idea of ​​putting 10 yen coins made mostly of copper onto his computer.Copper has better thermal conductivity than aluminum or plastic , most laptops are made from these two materials. According to the thermodynamics principle, as long as these copper coins are cooler than computers, they absorb heat without causing any problems for the central processing unit of the machine.

We can see the tweet below (in Japanese) and the image of akinori_suzuki:

Temporarily translate this tweet as follows: "If anyone is having a problem with Macbook Pro when the computer temperature is too high and there is no sign of cooling down, use some 10 yen coins. Copper in copper This coin has better thermal conductivity than the computer's aluminum, so it will conduct heat out ".

With the trend on social networks, many Twitter users have caught up with this idea, they share images done with computers like the way akinori_suzuki. Social network followers also apply to desktop computers.

It must be stated that this is an idea that comes from the internet and has not been tested. Good experimentation but not effective for all users. However, the reaction from the community of computer lovers on social networks shows that it is very successful.

For those who feel sad about not living in Japan, the land of copper coins, don't worry. In Australia, each coin contains more than 50% copper content and in the UK, the coins are made primarily of metal. But the bad news for computer believers in the US, since 1981, the coins produced do not contain more than 2.5% of copper but mainly from zinc (metal that leads to less heat than aluminum). Therefore, it cannot be used to cool down a laptop or desktop computer.

This is an easy and useful idea that you can fully test at home. So try making and sharing your images.
