FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a heat sink 10 according to some embodiments. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the heat sink 10. The heat sink 10 includes a generally cylindrical core 12, and curved fins, 14 which extend outwardly from the core 12. The core 12 has a central axis which is indicated by a dashed line 16 in FIG. 1. The curvature of the fins 14 is such that the respective axes of curvature of the fins 14 are parallel to the central axis 16.
Each of the fins 14 splits so as to be divided into a pair of tines 18 at an outward portion 20 of the respective fin 14. The splitting of each fin 14 into its tines 18 occurs at a furcation point 22 that may, for example, be about halfway along the length of the fin 14. Each fin 14 has a root 24 which emerges in an outward direction from the core 12, and each tine 18 has a root 26 which emerges in an outward direction from the furcation point 22 of the tine's respective fin 14. Each tine 18 also has a tip 28 at an opposite end of the tine from the tine root 26. For each fin 14, the tips 28 of its respective tines 18 may also be considered dual tips of the fin itself. The length of the fin 14 may be considered the curvilinear distance along the fin 14 from the fin's root 24 to one or the other of the tips 28 its two tines 18. In some embodiments, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the furcation point 22 of each fin 14 may be substantially half-way between the root 24 of the fin 14 and the tips 28 of the ties 18 of the fin 14. Consequently, in some embodiments, the lengths of the tines 18 maybe substantially 50% of the overall length of the fins 14. In other words, the ratio of the length of the tines 18 to the length of the fins 14 may be substantially 0.5:1.
Each fin 14 has a convex surface 30 which extends from the root 24 of the fin 14 to the tip 28 of one of the tines 18 of the fin 14. Each fin 14 also has a concave surface 32 which is opposite to the convex surface 30 and which extends from the root 24 of the fin 14 to the tip 28 of the other one of the tines 18 of the fin 14. The tine 18 which shares the convex surface 30 of the fin 14 has an inner surface 34 which is opposite to a radially outward portion of the convex surface 30.
