I love the concept of passive cooling / no moving parts, but I also like seeing the insides of electronics (my home build has a clear panel and white LEDs). Builds like this make me wish transparent aluminum was a real thing.
- patagurbon 7y agoIt is I believe, but I haven't seen many applications. It's marketed under the name ALON iirc. I don't believe they can make big pieces though.
- thedanbob 7y agoThat’s pretty cool! Unfortunately its actually a ceramic with only around 5% the thermal conductivity of straight aluminum so it wouldn’t work for this. Most transparent materials tend to be thermal insulators afaik.
