The RepelWrap is a transparent and flexible plastic film that significantly repels liquid and microbial contaminations (viruses and bacteria) from surfaces, keeping them clean even under the most contaminating conditions. The RepelWrap is an omniphobic surface technology (a surface repelling a broad range of contaminants),
Heat sinks work by conducting heat away from a source to fins that use convection, and their wide surface area to dissipate heat into the surrounding environment. The convective heat loss formula, Q=Hc*A*(T1-T2), shows that the surface area,
