Celsia Steam Cooler
As computers get faster, there is always a need to keep things cool with in the case. Fans are the traditional way leading on to heat sinks which all are intended to let the hot air move away from the CPU so it can continue to operate nominally. Celsia has created a new line up of cooling products. This time they are using steam to get the heat away from the processor.

They use NanoSpreaders part of which contain a small amount of water, and when they get heated up, the water turns to steam. The steam then transfers the heat to some kind of heat sink to dissipate it. As odd as it sounds, steam is one of the best heat conductors there is. They say their technology is a bit more expensive than heat pipes, but the increased efficiency should leave it cost neutral.
