Abstract
A cooling device generating unidirectional air flow to cool an electrical component. The cooling device is an equivalent of an electrical acoustic diode to make air flow only one direction. A speaker generates air flow in a first passageway to a cavity, and then expels air out from the cavity through a second passageway. An electrical component is cooled by the air flow, and may be positioned adjacent the passageways, or positioned in the cavity. In one example, eyewear having an electrical component positioned in a temple is cooled by the cooling device.
