A heat pipe with superior heat transfer between the heat pipe and the heat source
and heat sink is provided. The heat pipe is held tightly against the heat source
by mounting holes which penetrate the structure of the heat pipe but are sealed
off from the vapor chamber because they each are located within a sealed structure
such as a pillar or the solid layers of the casing surrounding the vapor chamber.
Another feature of the heat pipe is the use of a plurality of particles joined
together by a brazing compound such that fillets of the brazing compound are formed
between adjacent ones of the plurality of particles so as to form a network of
capillary passageways between the particles of the wick.
