Heat sinks with vibration enhanced heat transfer for non-liquid heat sources

A heat sink with vibration enhanced heat transfer for non-liquid heat sources, comprising:

• a thermally conductive housing having at least one contact face and at least one wall;
• a first body made of a thermally conductive phase change material disposed within thermally conductive housing, the first body of thermal conductivity material having a first contact face disposed for direct contact with a non-liquid heat source to be cooled at one end of the housing and a second contact face located at a first contact face of the housing;
• and
• a vibrating base, the vibrating base disposed in direct contact with an entire second contact face of the thermally conductive housing;
• wherein the vibrating base is configured to propagate oscillating waves through the thermally conductive housing and the second contact face of the first body of thermal conductivity material to reach the first contact face disposed for direct contact with the non-liquid heat source;
• and
• at least one thermally conductive vertical stud having opposed first and second ends, wherein the first end of the thermally conductive vertical stud is affixed within the second contact face of the thermally conductive housing and the first end of the vertical stud is in direct contact with the vibrating base and the second end is positioned within the first body.
