YPlasma will host the world premiere of the first-ever application of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators for consumer electronics cooling.
A New Jersey-based company is set to unveil its noiseless laptop cooled with DBD plasma actuators.YPlasma will host the world premiere of the first-ever application of dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuators for consumer electronics cooling—a revolutionary solution designed to replace mechanical fans and traditional ionic wind devices.
Traditional cooling methods are reaching their physical limitsThe company underlines that as electronics become thinner and AI-driven processing demands more power, traditional cooling methods are reaching their physical limits. YPlasma’s solid-state technology addresses these challenges by using cold plasma to generate high-velocity “ionic wind” without a single moving part.DBD technology has been miniaturizedYPlasma claims that this is for the first time that the DBD technology has been miniaturized into a form factor that redefines hardware design. YPlasma’s actuators are essentially thin films, measuring as little as 200 microns in thickness. This paper-thin profile allows them to be integrated directly onto heat sinks, chassis walls, or internal components, enabling ultra-thin laptop designs that were previously impossible to cool. Furthermore, these actuators are the first in the world capable of producing both cooling and heating within the same device, offering unprecedented thermal versatility.First laptop cooled with our DBD plasma actuators“Unveiling the first laptop cooled with our DBD plasma actuators marks a historic moment — not just for YPlasma, but for the entire electronics industry,” said David García Pérez, CEO and Co-Founder of YPlasma. “We’re excited to engage with global partners and demonstrate what our technology can achieve.”While many have explored “corona discharge” for ionic cooling, YPlasma’s DBD technology reportedly represents a fundamental leap forward in safety, reliability, and acoustics.Noiseless operationIt performs truly noiseless operation by operating at an ultra-quiet 17dBA. YPlasma’s system is virtually inaudible to the human ear, eliminating the “fan whine” common in high-performance laptops.Unlike corona discharge devices, which can produce harmful ozone byproducts, YPlasma’s DBD system uses a dielectric barrier to limit discharge, ensuring it is safe for consumer use in enclosed spaces.The company also claims that the DBD eliminates “tip erosion,” the primary failure point for corona needles. YPlasma’s protected electrode design ensures the cooling system lasts the entire lifetime of the device.“The AI era requires a complete rethink of how we manage heat and air,” García Pérez continued. “With our engineering teams in Madrid and Newark, we are bringing space-grade technology—packaged in a 200-micron film—to everything from your laptop to the next generation of aircraft.”The company also highlighted that beyond consumer electronics, YPlasma’s DBD technology serves as a versatile platform for several critical industries. It delivers active flow control, which enhances safety for road vehicles, aircraft, and wind turbines to improve fuel efficiency and reduce drag. The technology can also help develop next-generation propulsion systems for UAVs and space exploration.
