ABSTRACT:
A system and method for cooling by orchestrated movement of pistons to displace gases or fluids. The present invention uses a plurality of pistons which move in arranged patterns that force air through a channel in a single direction. The movement of air displaces heat, and the apparatus can be placed so as to provide cooling to devices in, for example, a computer system, by quietly moving air away from a heat source. The pistons are preferably moved at subsonic rates so they do not substantially contribute audible noise.
