Sandia Cooler: Air Bearing Heatsink Prototype Update

I know a few people that won't stop talking about this heatsink, personally I'm not a huge fan of the design but I can see a few instances where it might actually be a good fit. 

What makes the prototype Sandia Cooler special is the design, its aluminum cooling fins serve double duty as the rotating fan and fan blades of the cooler . Unlike traditional CPU coolers, heat energy in the Sandia Cooler is conducted across a very thin air gap bearing from the stationary base of the cooler to the upper rotating aluminum fin/fan component.
