Abstract
A thermal conduit configured to conduct heat from a heat source to a heat sink and method of forming said conduit are disclosed herein. The thermal conduit may comprise a plurality of stacked sheets formed of an anisotropically thermally conductive material, a non-limiting example of which is graphite, each sheet with a respective orientation of thermal conduction. The orientations of thermal conduction of the plurality of sheets may change stepwise in a stacking direction to form a curved thermal flow path.
