iPad Problem and solution




iPad Problem and solution
There is 934,000 articles in Google talking about ipad overheating problem.
This must be the biggest headache of Apple.
According to David Lu, the president of ACI (Advanced composite Inc), Overheating would be solved by carbon fiber made base. Thermal conductivity of carbon fiber can reach about 550WmK, more than silver and copper metal.
Just change the shell base carbon fiber, because overheating produced automatic shutdown problem is readily solved.
And Apple might leave this ridiculous warning“iPad needs to cool before using it.”

AppleInsider:
A new patent filing discovered by AppleInsider provides some of the first public evidence that Apple is indeed exploring carbon fiber-like enclosures for future product designs, corroborating an earlier report on the matter.

World's lightest' notebook has carbon fibre casing

08 October 2009
Sony claims its VAIO® X Series is the world's lightest notebook computer. It is housed in a lightweight carbon fibre chassis.

High-speed carbon fiber composite manufacturing process
Performance Materials Corp. has developed a material and process that allows it to produce lightweight, stiff carbon fiber notebook computer covers in less than 2 minutes using an innovative compression molding/inductive heating system.
Thomas Smith, president of Performance Materials Corp. (PMC, Camarillo, Calif.) explained his company's efforts to develop a material and process for the high-speed manufacture of carbon fiber composite notebook computer covers. Smith said his company is targeting metal replacement in notebook computers, targeting 10 percent weight savings compared to magnesium, greater stiffness than magnesium, good surface quality, cost about the same as magnesium, a 2-minute cycle time, and a process that allows integration of other parts and materials.The market for notebook computers is substantial, with 200 million expected to be sold in 2010. Metal covers are expected to be used on 76 million units; carbon fiber is expected to be used on 24 million units, with total carbon fiber consumption of about 4 million lb/1.8 million kg.
