Hey everyone-
Thanks for the positive comments and construcive criticism. Just to clear some stuff up for some of you. Those circles and fillets add surface area to dissipate heat and my material is aluminum. I may sink a slice of 110 copper alloy in the backside to draw heat off faster. Also the fans will be drawing air through the channels not blowing onto them,remember we want to draw the heat away not keep it there. I think though that I have to do some further blending in the transitions and around the entryways. A fanless sink would be loveley, BUT you need to have air blowing through it to work effectively IMO. Any ideas for mounting? Maybe a motor clamp that keeps the con right next to the motor? Shorter wires work better. Back to solidworks. I may produce these on a short basis if any of you are intrested.
