A heat pipe (100, 300, 400) has an evaporator portion (130, 310), a condenser portion (110), and at least one flexible portion (120, 520, 711) that is sealingly coupled between the evaporator portion (130, 310) and the condenser portion (110). The flexible portion (120, 520, 711) has a flexible tube and a flexible separator plate held in place within the flexible tube so as to divide the flexible tube into a gas-phase passage (201, 360, 401, 601) and a liquid-phase artery (204, 370, 402, 403, 604). The separator plate and flexible tube are configured such that the flexible portion (120, 520, 711) is flexible in a plane that is perpendicular to the separator plate.
