Each case contains 24 laminated (to disperse heat) lithium-ion modules about the size of a small laptop.

Air-cooled motorcycles rely on air blowing past fins on the engine case to disperse heat.

In cold climates, a ceiling fan may disperse heat to warm up the room as well by dispersing downwards the warm air that rises to the ceiling surface.

But warm your feet, it causes blood vessels to enlarge, dispersing heat and lowering your core temperature.
