Default Thermaltake, Nut Cooler...

Yes thats right, a nut cooler. Technically, it's a laptop pad that absorbs heat and disperses it throughout the pad instead of directly to lap... iXoft is what it's called and preventing prostate cancer and sperm cell loss (not officially proven) is what it's used for if you use your laptop on your lap. More details in my blog
as for performance goes, Ill leave that up to Capper and his crew.

Wow. I didn't know that. I wonder if that is similar to the whole "cell phones cause brain tumors" myth. Time will only tell, although I think there was a study done that proved that cell phones don't cause tumors.... yet.

Heating the balls with not reduce sperm lost or such. For a fact, the balls are in a bag to be cooled, not heated. One degree celcius lower than the rest of the body most of the time. :P

Is that a clinical synopsis? Sounds awfully... sterile.

looks very nice. i've played with similar material in an engineering class i am in for a cooling design on small engines.

very neat stuff
how much are these pads, and when are they expected to release?

The sac is lowered to keep the little swimmers cool since they cant survive in body temperature heat. But lets say you have your laptop on your lap and its increasing the temperature in that area. You sac can only drop so low...

Male Infertility - Symptoms, Treatment and Prevention

Choice of underwear. "We know that if men are wearing tight briefs, it brings their testicles close to the body. You are heating [the testicles] up, which kills the sperm and thus, impairs fertility," Madsen says. Bicycle riding and spending too many hours behind the wheel may also affect male fertility, some new research suggests, because heat may build up in the scrotum, the pouch that contains the testes and related organs.
