1. An apparatus, comprising:

  • a heat source to generate heat;

    a heat dissipation component thermally coupled to the heat source, the heat dissipation component having a planar shaped component defined by a first and a second surface, the first and the second surfaces being parallel to each other and bordered by at least one end, the first and second surfaces having surface areas greater than the at least one end, the planar shaped heat dissipation component to receive and transfer the generated heat away from the heat source; and

    a piezoelectric fan coupled to the at least one end of the planar shaped heat dissipation component, the piezoelectric fan to facilitate dissipation of the transferred heat from the heat source, the piezoelectric fan having a substantially planar shape with a first and a second end, the first end being coupled to the at least one end of the heat dissipation component and the second end being located away from the at least one end of the heat dissipation component relative to the first end.
