1. A radiator structure used with a hot fluid and cooling fluid,comprising:
- a. a first carbon fiber tube having a wall portion, said wall portion forming a passageway including an entrance thereto and an exit therefrom for the hot fluid;
b. a second carbon fiber tube having a wall portion, said wall portion forming a passageway including an entrance thereto and an exit therefrom for the hot fluid;
c. at least a first carbon fiber fin having a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate surface therebetween, said first carbon fiber fin contacting the cooling fluid;
d. a first heat conductive adhesive body positioned between and linking said first end of said first carbon fiber fin to said outer surface of said first carbon fiber tube; and
e. a second heat conductive adhesive body positioned between and linking said second end of said first carbon fiber fin to said second carbon fiber tube.

Abstract
A radiator structure used with a hot fluid and cooling fluid having a carbon fiber tube. The carbon fiber tube includes a wall portion having an inner surface and an outer surface. A passageway through the tube is used to conduct hot fluids. A second tube of similar construction is spaced form the first tube. A multiplicity of carbon fiber fins span and connect to the first and second tubes and are held thereto by a conductive adhesive.
