The laptop cooler was originally designed to cool off my laptop, which would frequently overheat. To stuff my laptop from having thermal breakdown, I took the dimensions of my laptop and I began to build the laptop stand. To cool my laptop, my fans of choice were 2 176mm EBM PAPST industrial cooling fans. Unfortunately my fans run on 24volt so I had to purchase a 500Watt adjustable voltage power supply. I bolted the fans together, and I mounted to the sides of the stand. The fans are mounted so that they generate a high pressure and high flow current which blows up and out the back of the stand. By forcing air to move upwards under the stand, and out the back of the stand, a very large temperature reduction gradient is produced. The high airflow, (565cfm) is able to drastically reduce my laptops running temperature. No matter what program I am running my laptop never reaches temperatures above 80 F. The air pressure generated by my fans is so powerful that it is able to slightly lift the back of my laptop off the stand, when the fans are on full speed. To ensure that the air flows in the direction I want it to, I installed a foam strip around the top of the stand. In doing so, the foam compresses under the weight of the laptop, ensuring a seal between the laptop and the stand. Since the fans are so powerful, the noise generated by the fans is a whopping 63db. This does not bother me because I know the fans work and do their job and plus one would rather deal with noise than the result of a thermal breakdown.
