Interesting all this mucro channel thing.
I do not quite catch on this micro channels thou... do the y mean die's silicone to be microchanneled?
I think they should stay with this electroosmosis technology and leave heatsinks design to somebody else (look for foamed graphite heatsink technology and radioators based on the same material).
Why use very poor heat conducting material tofor water block and grove intricate microchannels in it (size of water blocks makes price difference between copper and silicone immaterial, not to mention massive embodied energy of any silicone products) if you can do it (microchannels) in one of the best known/cheapest heat conductors (copper)?
Microosmosis would work if used married with tunneling acceleration technique (magnetic particles accelerator, or however it is called-can never remember).
As AngryAlpace rightly observed price of this technology compared to puny performance imakes id still very much R&D project, but with lots of prospects.
I wrote about foamed graphite material, has anyone ever tried to produce foamed copper (open cell structure)? I seem to remeber sth about cigarette filter making technology using high voltage electron guns to produce micro channels, anyone?
It reminded me of recent experiment with slowing down of light, extremely inspiring
