Georgia Tech Microgenerator Can Power Electronics
New microengines could provide 10 times longer life than batteries for cell phones, laptops
ATLANTA (November 23, 2004) — It may be tiny, but a new microgenerator developed at Georgia Tech can now produce enough power to run a small electronic device, like a cell phone, and may soon be able to power a laptop.
The microgenerator is about 10 millimeters wide, or about the size of a dime. When coupled with a similarly sized gas-fueled microturbine (or jet) engine, the system, called a microengine, has the potential to deliver more energy and last 10 times longer than a conventional battery.
