Abstract
Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to include a torsional heat pipe. The torsional heat pipe can include a first housing static portion located in a first housing of an electronic device, where the first housing static portion is coupled to a heat source, a second housing static portion located in a second housing of the electronic device, where the second housing static portion is coupled to a heat spreader, and a torsion portion located in a hinge of the electronic device, where the hinge rotatably couples the first housing to the second housing and the torsion portion rotates as the second housing rotates relative to the first housing and the torsion portion couples the first housing static portion to the second housing static portion.
