Heat Pipes: The Passive Tech Cooling Laptops and Spacecraft

Heat pipes move heat with no pump, no compressor, and no moving parts. Inside a sealed tube, liquid evaporates at the hot end, vapor carries energy to the cold end, and a wick returns condensate by capillary action. That simple phase-change loop is why heat pipes show up in laptops, satellites, spacecraft thermal control, electronics cooling, and high-performance heat exchangers.
