Who's gonna be doing the beta-testing anyway?
Im no fan of fans at all...fans*
With this idea... using the user as a living heat sink...AMD has the perfect solution:
Could include a pair of needles and tubes to tap into the user - user's arterial blood pumps through the Pyra to cool it and return to a vein. The Pyra - cooled by dialysis/plasmophoresis (blood exchange).I wonder though: how much Watt of heat can the passive heatsink handle? Is there a way to improve the overall thermal conductivity from the CPU to the user's hands? After all, the human body is a very thermally stable system which uses advanced evaporation and liquid cooling techniques, I'm sure it can help a lot.
That Idea gets my blood boiling...Could include a pair of needles and tubes to tap into the user - user's arterial blood pumps through the Pyra to cool it and return to a vein. The Pyra - cooled by dialysis/plasmophoresis (blood exchange). OK, so we're not ready for the whole cyborg thing quite yet...
Might as well have it powered by the user as well.Combine this idea... using liquid to transport the heat away from the Pyra...

I wants to play tetris under the hot german sun, and you just telling something about al pacino and robert de niero??Yes. the pairing of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino should have made for a greater movie.. but sometimes shit happens...
The OMAP5 is rated stable in environments up to 80C. If it ever gets that hot I suspect you'll have bigger problems then whether you can play tetris or notThere are something about 39 degreese celsius now in some parts of germany,
Would the Pyra work on this hot days??

No no, that's not the maximum temperature it's safe to run AT, that's the maximum temperature it's safe to run IN. As in, if your house ever reaches 80C then it should continue to run just fine.I'm pretty sure the operating temperature of the chip is even higher than that.Seriously - I doubt that it will be able to get that hot even running flat out unless it's insulated in two pairs of hiking socks or something.
They are both old and probably pretty frail now. I hope the Pyra is tougher than they are. I hope the Pyra doesn't look like them either. Oh, and to keep it on topic, I doubt they can handle extreme heat very well...it would be nice if a device with a name like Pyra can withstand heat and not just burst into flames.Yes. the pairing of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino should have made for a greater movie.. but sometimes shit happens...
Keeping it operating is one thing, holding a 60°C hot device at a 40°C enviroment the other.To be honest I will not even leave the house at such a weather (laying under the sun wtf?) so I'm not that bounded to a portable device then.The OMAP5 is rated stable in environments up to 80C.

I avoid extended periods of sun exposure due to health concerns. As a child I had constant sunburn during parts of several summers. Until a few years ago I would occasionally get sunburn while working outside, even when I tried to use sunscreen. Part of that was since I would strip down a bit due to humidity, and so my sweat would help cool me, and this exposed my head/face, neck and arms. Heat alone doesn't bother me like heat with high humidity does, and I would rather have extreme heat in a dry location to moderate heat with high humidity (I never dry off with the humidity, yet my sweat is gone before I notice it in deserts). I drink a lot of water at all times, and usually try to make sure to replenish electrolytes when I sweat a lot, so deserts haven't been a problem for me much yet (although I prefer to avoid a lot of activity during the hottest parts of the day). My favorite places seem to be mountains with forest in arid regions since they are cooler and I am covered by the trees. I lived in a great place like this for a while when I was a kid.I am allergic to too much heat. Everything breaks down, especially my sense of humour. I doubt I'll ever use the Pyra in the sun. Trying with the Pandora was always a painful experience.
What? You want me to go to the beach?
Ask me again when its nice and overcast.
I don't mind rain unless I am have something with me that can be damaged by water and no way to protect it. Sometimes when the rain/wind cools me I have the problem mentioned above. I also love the smell of rain in arid regions.I just prefer it not to be raining during the day. Guaranteeing it to be dry during daylight hours tends to mean it's dry at night too, and prolonged dry weather tends to bring out the sun. If that makes it hotter, I'll live with it.
