"alternative" sources get tied up in conspiracy theories so the term electrostatic cooling is largely useless for research
http://www.rexresearch.com/blomgren/blomgren.htm
however when you dig past that into patents and the search terms of
corona wind
corona electrostatic convection
electrostatic precipitation
Kulacki Velkoff electrostatic
Electrohydrodynamics

the validity of electrostatic heat transfer enhancment is relatively well documented and quantified

http://www.ee.washington.edu/researc...lectronics.pdf

one of the interesting points is that it is both applicable inside a coolant circuit as well as outside, thus enhancing heat transfer from a waterblock to the coolant from the coolant to a radiator and from a radiator to the air are all possible given the right arrays.

theory in a nutshell corona ion effect enhances turbulance allowing for a better swapout of the boundary layer

it also leads sideways into fringe antigravity\electrogravity science (based on the Biefeld–Brown effect)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biefeld-Brown_effect
which until just the other day was largely considered pipedream stuff
but may infact have some interesting accepted corollary corroboration

http://www.newscientistspace.com/art...yperspace.html
it will be interesting to see if any of the fringe gets recognized\incorporated
