DOIs:10.2015/IJIRMF/202504021 | Paper ID: IJIRMF202504021This research paper proposes an innovative advance cooling solution system ionic cooling or Electro Hydro Dynamic (EHD) to achieve efficient, noiseless and compact thermal management for laptops. The proposed system utilizes ionic wind generation to initiate air movement through the ionization of surrounding air molecules. This process creates a steady, silent flow of air without mechanical components like motors and fans. Then the air is sent through the copper vents for proper heat dissipation. In hybrid system the ionic system is combined with traditional fan cooling system. By combining these two technologies, the system enhances the cooling capacity while maintaining compactness and energy efficiency with silent working operation.
