MIT researchers are putting a tiny gas-turbine engine inside a silicon chip about the size of a quarter. The resulting device could run 10 times longer than a battery of the same weight can, powering laptops, cell phones, radios and other electronic devices. Click the link for a look at it.
Seems we had hand powered saws and drills, then gas powered. Then came line cord electric power to the tools. Now we have battery and soon it seems we will have gas powered again. Wonder if bionic muscle power is about to show up for us to.
I can just see some future headline, "CO from cellphone engine kills sleeping camper."
Whatever happens, Progress Marches On!
