Device uses movement of ions to generate airflow without any moving parts like in iPads and MacBook Air.

minus-squaresplinter@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17·8 hours agoThey do not. For a given power input they produce less airflow at lower velocity than a regular fan. They’re a complete scam.

Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySSo5PmZZJM It actually works better when You take the inner fan out of the casing. So they are actually a scam.

minus-squareEvil_Shrubbery@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·10 hours agoThey literally generate as much as that small fan in the case can generate. With the aerodynamics of the case it’s just a matter of converting higher pressure into lower pressure with higher (& a bit more laminated) airflow.
