Ion wind fans generate ozone. To more effectively catalyze ozone, in one embodiment, the present invention includes a heat sink having contoured heat sink fins that are coated with an ozone catalyst.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A heat sink comprising:
 a base in thermal contact with a heat source;   a first set of fins protruding from the base, the first set of fins having a contoured non-planar shape oriented in a first direction; and   a second set of fins protruding from the base, the second set of fins having a contoured shape substantially similar to the contoured non-planar shape of the first set of fins, the second set of fins being oriented in a second direction, wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction.   
     
     
         2 . The heat sink of  claim 1 , wherein the first set of fins comprises and ozone catalyzing coating. 
     
     
         3 . The heat sink of  claim 2 , wherein the second set of fins comprises and ozone catalyzing coating.
