The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) has been intensively studied for novel energy efficient thermal management systems. The present study demonstrates a proof-of-concept magnetic cooling setup for active cooling of the thermal spikes of a heated resistor. Using Gd as the MCE material, the device was cap...
