Abstract
Embodiments of an apparatus, system, method and techniques are described for an improved volumetric resistance blower and rotor. An apparatus may comprise, for example a motor, a casing having one or more inlets and one or more outlets, and a cylindrical rotor to create a volumetric resistance inside the casing, at least a portion of the rotor comprising a porous material. Other embodiments are described.
Claims14
A blower, comprising:
- a motor;
- a casing having one or more inlets and one or more outlets;
- and
- a cylindrical rotor to create a volumetric resistance inside the casing, at least a portion of the rotor comprising a porous material, the rotor comprising a cylindrical metal disk having a plurality of stamped or cut portions on a flat surface of the disk, one or more of the plurality of stamped or cut portions bent in a random or pseudo-random manner with respect to the flat surface to create an uneven porous surface.

A computing system, comprising:
- an enclosure;
- one or more heat producing components;
- and
- a cylindrical rotor to create a volumetric resistance inside a casing of a blower, at least a portion of the rotor comprising a porous material, the rotor comprising a cylindrical metal disk having a plurality of stamped or cut portions on a flat surface of the disk, one or more of the plurality of stamped or cut portions bent in a random, pseudo-random or fractal manner with respect to the flat surface to create a porous surface.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- stamping or cutting a plurality of different sized tabs into a flat sheet metal material;
- bending, in a plurality of directions and angles with respect to the flat surface, one or more of the plurality of stamped or cut tabs in a random or pseudo-random pattern to create an uneven and porous surface;
- and
- stamping or cutting the flat sheet metal material into one or more cylindrical sheet metal discs.
