To sink the heat.
Do internal combustion engines use a heat sink?
Many engines use a Heat Sink. The most common are air cooled engines like a lawn mowers, or some motorcycles. The metal fins you see around the spark plug and the cylinder are heat sinks. A heat sink just provides additional surface area for the heat to be exchanged with the cooler temperature of the air.
How does a heat sink work in the power supply?
A heat sink works on the principle of thermal transfer. The heat sink transfers heat from the chip to the air, wicking heat away.
Is water a type of heat sink?
Yes! Water is a heat sink.
How do you solder fly leads to LEDs?
Use a heat sink. Many LEDs are heat sensitive. I make a heat sink by putting a rubber band round the handles of a small pair of snipe nosed pliers.

heat sink is when heat is absorbed into any type of environment, including the aquatic ecosystem; and carbon sink is when CO2 is absorbed into any type of environment including the terrestrial ecosystem.
What should you use to remove thermal compound from heat sink and processor when replacing the heat sink?
Use isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs or a lint-free cloth to remove thermal compound residue from the heat sink and processor. Gently wipe away the old thermal paste until both surfaces are clean before applying new thermal compound.
