Hair styling apparatus

This is a hair styling tool that uses two shaped jaws to grip hair. One jaw has a curved ridge and the other a matching curved recess. It heats the hair on the forward curve of the jaws while actively cooling it on the reverse curve, using heat pipes and a heat sink to manage the temperature, with the cooling region's curvature specifically changing.

Why it matters: Since 2014, advancements in miniaturized heat pipe technology and compact thermal management systems have made integrating active cooling into handheld devices more practical and efficient. This could simplify the engineering challenge of simultaneously heating and cooling hair within a single styling tool.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom jaws, heat pipes, heat sink, electronics.
