Water proof laptop all solid state oil filled no motors

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

I've had this idea for years to build a metal laptop with all solid state components a touch sensitive lower screen and where the keyboard usually goes (used for the keyboard and other uses) and one for the regular monitor, Oil filled for cooling using the metal case for a heatsink and bluetooth and wifi for peripherals.

I would like to see this built BEN HECK

lol

 

System components that need built

Metal laptop case gasketed and sealed oil filled for thermal conduction to the case so no fans are needed. 

Two touch screens one where the touchpad and keyboard traditionally are and one in the standard location.

Laser etched dual channel wifi, and bluetooth antennas on the outside of the lid.

Inductive charging with laser etched antenna on bottom.

Inductive charging matt.

Wifi or bluetooth usb switch could also be induction driven

The guts of a laptop installed.

    oil is not a great conductor, hence why oil filled desktop came around (no fear it would short the computer) but it also does not conduct heat well to the metal. Oil being a liquid there comes the problem it trying to find any place it can escape threw. Don't want the laptop leaking precious oil all over things. Its a interesting idea for a build, but it would be better just to try and mod a laptop to use a water cooling system.

    well what about just potting resin? That could work just Pot the entire board battery and all so it's one thermal mass.

    the concept is more for very low power consumption and silent operation as well as being slim and water proof. image
