| | Operation and Testing of a Micro Heat Engine | | Authors: | S. Whalen, R. Richards, D. Bahr and C. Richards | | Affilation: | Washington State University, US | | Pages: | 404 - 407 | | Keywords: | MEMS power, micro heat engine, piezoelectric power | | Abstract: | The development and testing of a micro heat engine is presented. For the first time the production of electrical power by a dynamic micro heat engine is demonstrated. The prototype micro heat engine is an external combustion engine, in which thermal power is converted to mechanical power through the use of a novel thermodynamic cycle. Mechanical power is converted into electrical power through the use of a thin-film piezoelectric membrane generator. This design is well suited to photolithography-based batch fabrication methods, and is unlike any conventionally manufactured macro-scale engine. |  | View paper | | ISBN: | 0-9728422-0-9 |
