An apparatus to transfer heat from a heat source to a heat sink, the apparatus consisting of a solid thermal conveyer proximate to the heat source and the heat sink. Heat from the heat source is transferred to the thermal conveyer; this heat is conveyed by the thermal conveyer, and this heat is then transferred to the heat sink. An external means moves the solid thermal conveyer with respect to the heat source and the heat sink. Heat from the heat source can be transferred to the thermal conveyer by radiation, by conduction through mechanical contact, and by conduction or convection through an intermediate thermal transfer fluid. In one embodiment the area through which heat is transferred from the solid thermal conveyer to the heat sink is substantially greater than the area through which heat is transferred from the heat source to the solid thermal conveyer. In another embodiment the thermal conveyer transports heat a distance that is large compared to the dimensions of the heat source and of the heat sink.
