    摘要: An elongated heat pipe or vapor chamber is described. In examples, the heat pipe may include a tubular body comprising a hollow glass tube or fiber. The heat pipe may further include a wick within the tubular body and a working fluid within the tubular body. The wick may be made of glass, polymer, metal, etc. The wick may be an elongated cylinder disposed within the tubular body and, some cases, may be bonded to an inner floor of the tubular body. In examples, the wick may have an outer diameter substantially equal to an inner diameter of the tubular body. In examples, the wick may have a substantially cross-shaped cross section or may have a helical shape.
