i have seen industrial stuff sized somewhere between a brick and a cinder block. most of the references i've seen lately are for little consumer-grade PC stuff.

there was BIG manufacturer of aluminum heat sink extrusions in the California central Valley area (Temecula...) but darned if i can remember their name after all this time...

here's a http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=66946&item=3817094143&rd=1 currently for bid on EBay, they had several listings under 'heatsinks' ...

i did a Google search using +industrial +"aluminum extrusion" +"heat sink"
and got several plausible sources.

companies making high-power stuff -- motor-control equipment, electroplating power supplies, bauxite processing - will have big stuff for their rectifiers...

Jake,

Please check http://www.chtechnology.com/products/exheatsinkstable.html

It show various extrusions with size and thermal properties.
A low number for degC/Watt/length, is good.

I have not forgot about you. I have been busy with software for 3D fuel map for the KitCarlson EMS.

I hope to be complete bench tests by next week.
