Reversible direction thermal cooling system

An electronic device comprising:

• memory;
• a thermal management engine;
• an air mover;
• a first heat source;
• a second heat source;
• and
• at least one processor, wherein the thermal management engine is configured to cause the least one processor to:
• receive data related to thermal properties of a first heat source, wherein the first heat source is on a first side of the air mover;
• activate the air mover based on the received data related to the thermal properties of the first heat source, wherein the air mover rotates in a first direction and a majority of air moved by the air mover is biased in a first direction towards the first heat source;
• receive data related to second thermal properties of the second heat source, wherein the second heat source is on a second side of the air mover and the second side of the air mover is opposite the first side of the air mover;
• determine that the majority of the air moved by the air mover should have a bias in a second direction;
• and
• reverse a direction of rotation of the air mover to cause the air moved by the air mover to have a bias in the second direction towards the second heat source, wherein intakes for the majority of air moved by the air mover when the air mover is biased in the first direction is the same as when the air mover is biased in the second direction.

A method comprising:

• receiving data related to thermal properties of a first heat source, wherein the first heat source is on a first side of an air mover;
