Possible cooling for pocket-size burning lasers?

Hi. I'm just posting a URL for a micro blower that could be used for cooling high watt laser diodes. Murata Fans & Blowers | Mouser I got this from a friend. I'm going to try using this on a 1-watt blue laser diode. It's very small, but puts out a LOT of air! yet it's about 1"X1"X1/8" in size. It uses very little power unlike more conventional means. See what you think.

Here is a mighty mini sunon fan I would love to give one of these a shot.

Go for it. You may be on to something.
Or at least something that someone hasn't done before.
Which is always cool in my book.
Take pictures! :)

Ok. I was impressed with it's features shown in these videos.
Demonstration movies of Microblowers | Micromechatronics | Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. I've tried out several tiny fans and found their output rather feeble.
Including an experimental 1/2" dia. ducted fan. Thank you for your comments. I still intend to try out the microblower. Ed.

Impressive little pump.. Let us know how it actually
works out. You may be onto a new cooling system for
Lasers...
Time will tell... :beer:

Based on the vids I can't see it having much of a volume TBH. Most of what was shown required pressure rather than volume and we need it the other way around. It may be better than I think but I fear it won't move enough air to make any difference.
