Abstract
A heat sink is configured to cool at least one hot spot of an integrated circuit. The heat sink has a first pipe and a second pipe disposed interior to and concentric with the first pipe, where at least a portion of each of the first pipe and the second pipe is arranged to be disposed vertically over the hot spot. An assembly connected to the first pipe and the second pipe is arranged to generate a magnetic field and induce electrical current flow through the magnetic field. A flow of thermally and electrically conductive fluid in the first pipe and a flow of the fluid in the second pipe are dependent on the electrical current flow and the magnetic field.
