1. A method of removing heat from at least one heat generating component, the method comprising the steps of:

  • forming a geometrically reoriented heat pipe having an evaporator section, and a condenser section;

    positioning the evaporator section adjacent the at least one heat generating component;

    transferring heat from the at least one heat generated component to a heat transfer fluid contained within the evaporator section of the heat pipe;

    migrating the heated fluid to the condenser region of the heat pipe, which condenser region is geometrically reoriented relative to the evaporator region;

    cooling the fluid within the condenser region; and

    returning the fluid to the evaporator region.
