    i can really tell linus is exited in the last 2 videos as he gets to take apart tech that he feels he should not be allowed to.
  • Piezoelectrics can also convert vibration into current. Some snowboards in the '90s use them to convert chatter into lighting an LED on top of board
  • @enzospartan
    This was the sleeper hit at CES for me - so excited that they've actually started integrating it.
  • @HitomiOokami
    I'd LOVE to see this in a Steam Deck considering how "user friendly" it is to open an repair/swap things.. like I know it wouldn't be just a drop in thing and such but I think that be ridiculously sweet to attempt.
  • @antoinefdu
    Can't wait to see this as an upgrade option in Framework laptops.
  • @sagrel
    I can't wait to see how they DIY add this to the steam deck. I want to see how close this technology is to being useful in mainstream electronics
  • @chir0pter
    I am super jealous of these guys for coming up with something so effective, simple and elegant with a rather large market
  • @RitosM
    I saw this in a video a while ago. You're right, it's the most impressive thing I've seen in years, I haven't been excited by hardware for a while. I could see the performance of small devices increasing by so much with the possibility of active cooling using such a device.
  • @calfeggs
    This seems like one of the advancement landmarks in technology that is at its infancy but will significantly change the direction and build strategies of future devices.
  • @philemonzz
    seeing this tech at CES was so cool but I was worried we weren't gonna see anything of it again. I'm glad the company is going well.
  • @SuperKendoman
    Hell yes! Experiments on cooling the ROG ally or Steam deck! That would be amazing and such a fun project to see you guys get into ❤
  • @doslover
    I would absolutely love to see this in a Steam Deck or Ally (or both). Quieter? Better performance? Less power use? Any/all of the above?
  • This is the kind of generational change that Valve is looking for in a Steam Deck 2 model. With these types of fans, the entire device could be redesigned.
  • I can imagine this being used in multiple devices: - VR Standalone Headset - Handheld Consoles - Smartphones - Tablets - Robot (I.E. Rombas and such) - Laptops And who knows? Maybe eventually even cooling Desktop CPUs and GPUs
  • @danndonovan
    I remember seeing the airjets a few months ago and I thought it would be a game changer in the laptop space, but it has potential for so much more. Really exciting tech and I can't wait to see how it progresses!
  • @SwagzLife
    Building my own mini-form-factor desktop PC and fabricating my own case and cooling-solutions sounds like such a difficult project but with things like this it seems very possible and makes me super excited for the future.
  • @vokkera6995
    Can't wait to see stuff like this implemented in VR and AR, since one of the biggest things keeping headsets fairly large is that they require onboard cooling (if standalone, anyway)
  • @TheRogueBro
    I would like to see the dust resistantness of these things in person. As someone who works IT for a very dusty plant, this could be interesting
  • @NickSklias
    I'm a huge fan of making fans obsolete. Just like I'm also a big fan of this segue to LTT's sponsor, Sweetwater.
  • @thedanyesful
    Very cool. I love that these guys took a chance and left their stable corporate jobs to build this startup and, hopefully, to contribute to leadership in the industry. Also I love the way you zoom out to see the industry from the perspective of scaling technology and considering the parallels in other related technologies while showing real data.
