Hello everybody,
I have a computer case project and I need to create a fanless (passive) cooling.
I feel excited of the idea to use paltier thermoelectric coolers, but their efficiency is considered very low, because the hot side is usually exhausted via passive radiators.
So I came up with an idea but I have no idea either if it is applicable or if it is even valid.
I though of using series of paltier coolers at the bottom of the case and put 2 sheets of thermal conductive material between them. The cold side (upper side) will constantly cool a water tank which will cool the computer components. The hot side will heat an air tank (actual bottom of the case). The air there will dilate and it will become lighter so it will try to go up, so by using a tube that goes to the top it will create a very very low air flow by pushing the room temprature air. So, in order to increase its effect I though to put a spiral, with diminishing inside diameter, tube to play the role of a turbine.
Since my physics knowledge is elementary, I'm sure I'm missing something important even in theory.
Could you help me out?
Thank you
