The Internet of Things is an intelligent network, which concatenates all things to the Internet
for the purpose of interchange information and communicating via the information sensing …

We present an electromagnetic linear vibration energy harvester with an array of rectangular
permanent magnets as a springless proof mass. Instead of supporting the magnet assembly …

This paper presents complementary-metal–oxide–semiconductor-compatible silicon-
embedding techniques for on-chip integration of microelectromechanical-system devices …

We report on the scaling properties and loss mechanisms of Tesla turbines and provide
design recommendations for scaling such turbines to the millimeter scale. Specifically, we …

This dissertation discusses the design and scaling characteristics of Tesla–or so-called
“friction”–turbines, and offers design solutions for achieving optimum performance given the …

We report the design and microfabrication of a MEMS turbopump with thermal insulation, as
the core component of a steam power plant-on-a-chip for waste heat recovery based on the …

This paper presents two microfabrication approaches for multi-layer coils for vibration-
energy harvesters. A magnet array is arranged with alternating north-and south-orientation …

This paper discusses the research progress of micro magnetic generator systems. Micro
magnetic generator systems convert energy from the environment to electric energy with …

Evaporation and space-charge requirements are evaluated to understand the effect of
device scaling and fuel preheating for a liquid fuel injector using a multiplexed electrospray …

In the global push for harnessing energy in a vast number of scenarios, the Tesla Turbine
stands out as a potential niche device in various small-scale applications. This device can …
