Hello everyone,
Over the past few months I have been researching and reading and testing. I noticed some ways to cool down the Erupters with small clip on heatsinks and I've also seen the sand down the backside of the unit and rubber band it to a heatsink. So after all these ideas I have come up with a few solutions on which I will be releasing photos soon. These are just for the extension of the erupters life and not to catch anything on fire. it will be usb powered and I might put a molex with a controller for the fan. When the unit is complete it will be a thermal solution for up to 4 erupters, it will come with its own usb hub or usb extension cables, a fully enclosed housing for optimal cooling of the erupters. It will also come with thermal compound. I am at the point I just need the material to build the case and a way to power the fan. as it stands now the heat from the erupters is now taken in by the heatsink. I have a second unit going into testing as soon as the first unit is completed. The second unit will take a bit longer to complete as it is an entire usb hub enclosure device. I am also trying to keep costs down so if and when anyone else wants one it won't be too much.
