SECTION 1
ABSTRACT
Thermal eliminators are vital heat management due to the high amount of waste heat Grandhold technology produces. They use skipgates to dispose of waste heat cheaply.
SECTION 2
SUMMARY
The thermal eliminator is a heat management system that eliminates excess heat by converting it into electromagnetic radiation and emitting it into a skipgate into Slipspace, where it will travel for some time before tunneling back into Ilgospace.
Thermal eliminators are composed of four main components; a heatsink, heat-to-photon energy converter, laser emitter, and skipgate bore.

HISTORY
The thermal eliminator was developed on date [6665-2-27], shortly after development of skipgate technology. Early thermal eliminators were unable to bore into a paradimension and were forced to eject heat into a nearby point in space. While it resulted in the inconvenient necessity to allocate physical space to the outlet of a thermal eliminator, it did allow the reclamation of energy through capturing dumped energy and reusing it. Such energy recycling measures were helpful in reducing costs, although they were eventually phased out as energy generation measures improved.
After slipspace bores were developed on date [7899-8-17], energy recycling from thermal eliminators was abandoned in favor of waste energy disposal.
