3 Key Points

  1. 1

    YPlasma integrated and tested a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma cooling module on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, replacing the rotary fan with a 200 micrometer flexible actuator film that is 40 to 60 times thinner than the 8 to 12 mm micro-fans it replaces. The technology was on display at Booth I0601, Hall 1, TaiNEX 1.

  2. 2

    The cooling solution generates ionic wind (directed airflow produced by ionizing air under high-voltage AC excitation) without moving parts, audible noise, vibration, or dust ingestion paths, enabling operation inside a Z-height envelope that conventional rotary cooling cannot reach.

  3. 3

    This is YPlasma's second public proof point following a noiseless laptop unveiled at CES 2026, and addresses thermal demands of continuous, 24/7 Agentic AI (self-directing AI) workloads in sealed, vibration-sensitive, and acoustically constrained edge deployments where passive heatsinks throttle and rotary fans are a dominant field-failure mode.
