About · Forced Physics DCT

A different idea
about moving heat.

Forced Physics DCT was founded to commercialize a fundamentally different approach to cooling, born not from incremental engineering, but from years of research into kinetic theory. We build the air-based platform that lets compute keep scaling.

The origin

It started with the physics, not the product.

Forced Physics DCT grew out of founder and inventor Scott Davis's study of kinetic theory and how gas molecules behave at a heated surface. That research led to the patented microchannel architecture behind JouleForce.

Where the industry treated air cooling as a fixed limit, Forced Physics set out to change the interaction itself and prove the approach on real hardware.

The advantage isn't more airflow. It's a better understanding of what air does at the surface.

What we believe

Principles that shape the company.

01

Physics over hype

We make claims we can measure. Performance is validated independently and on live hardware before it reaches a slide.

02

Own the fundamentals

The advantage lives in patented geometry and a deep understanding of the underlying science, not a manufacturing trick.

03

Keep compute scaling

Cooling should expand what's possible, not constrain it. We build to remove the thermal ceiling, not just raise it slightly.
