Sealed electrical device with cooling system and associated methods

An electrical device comprising:

• a heat generating element;
• a heat sink thermally coupled to the heat generating element;
• a fluid flow generator;
• and
• an enclosure configured to create a sealed interior volume containing therein a gaseous fluid;
• and
• wherein the fluid flow generator is operable to generate a fluid flow incident upon a portion of the heat sink positioned within the sealed interior volume.

An electrical device operable to dissipate heat and maintain a thermal equilibrium of at least a portion of the electrical device comprising:

• a heat generating element;
• a heat sink thermally coupled to the heat generating element;
• a fluid flow generator;
• an enclosure;
• and
• an optic carried by the enclosure;
• wherein the optic is configured to interface with the enclosure so as to define a sealed interior volume;
• wherein each of the fluid flow generator, the heat sink, and the heat generating element are positioned within the sealed interior volume;
• and
• wherein the fluid flow generator is operable to generate a fluid flow incident upon a portion of the heat sink.
