Abstract
A computer and a method according to which an assembly is provided for electrostatically moving air for cooling the interior of the computer. The assembly includes an ionization strip for selectively receiving high voltage, such that when the high voltage is applied to the ionization strip, charged air rushes toward a heat sink disposed in the computer, thereby creating an airflow through the heat sink.
