Ionic air movers have more problems than that.
They literally ionized the air and produce ozone. The ozone and ionized air gives everything it touches a static charge that builds up.

While the ozone is unlikely to be a huge issue in a small device, the static charge build up is undesirable for sensitive electronics.

I had an indoor ionic air filter in the past. It was shocking everything down wind from it.

"the specifics of how are apparently too patented to share with Dave2D or the wider public. "

That's not how patents work.

Also "TechTuber" is synonymous with paid shill. That's the entire business model. So you should believe a TechTuber's claims in the same way you believe Mr.T's opinions on connection ovens.

I immediately had this thought. I was wondering if they figured out some way to neutralize most of the air before it leaves the cooler or maybe you need like grounded, fine metal screens on the laptop's exhaust ports.

My experience with Ionizers/ ozone generators is they lose airflow quite easily as the generator plates become dirty........
Then it is dissemble and clean with pure alcohol or electrical parts cleaner.
Call me unimpressed with this new tech.

It did specifically say they had patents dealing with the traditional problems of dust and ionic air movers. And they claim to have some industrial rating for dust imperviousness. That being said, yeah, dust shuts em down real quick.

After watching that video I feel like the frore tech actually has better use cases especially based on the pressure. I think coming up with ways to make it more energy efficient sound long term better than the dusk, ionization, and low pressure of the other device.

They likely will each find their own use cases down the road...maybe even some kind of dual usage in some cases.

He also skipped over the fact that frore is meant to be direct attached a lot of the time. So it wouldn't be frore, then head sink...the frore is right on what it is trying to cool so it passes air right over it.

Will be interesting to see all the real world applications and what pans out. I would be pretty scared to put an o3 generator in my electronics though.

They do say in the video that they use a coating on the fins of the heat sink to do that but...that just sounds like too many work arounds to me. Who knows, maybe it will be great, and the whole idea of solid state is cool, but I didn't see anything about dealing with build up...it's secret? Real world long term testing in semi dusty environments will tell the details.
