Embodiments of the invention are directed towards passive cooling systems for handheld mobile computing devices. An electro-hydrodynamic air mover (EAM) may be included in a handheld mobile computing device, the EAM to include an inlet and an outlet. The inlet and outlet are each included in at least one surface side of the handheld mobile computing device. In embodiments of the invention the EAM produces an airflow by accelerating charged particles surrounding an electrode near the inlet towards an second electrode near the outlet in response to an electric field applied to the electrodes. The airflow will result from air drawn into the inlet of the EAM (i.e., air external to the computing device) and air expelled from the outlet of the EAM (i.e., air expelled away from the computing device). |
