MEMS Dust – No Batteries Required : DigInfo
Diginfonews asked:
DigInfo – movie.diginfo.tv MEMS, the nanotechnology which is currently taking the world by storm, has been the focus of Ritsumeikan University for a while. They have developed a SNA-MEMS, using RFID systems, which doesn’t require batteries or wires and is packed out with a wide variety of tools. “Inside this MEMS we’re going to integrate all elements of MEMS technology- Sensors and actuators, memory and logic, power, and finally a high frequency transmission field. These elements are going …

20,000 gal/hr x $2.50/gal x 8,766 hr/yr = $488.3 million/yr
(cloud of MEMS flyers) + sunlight + air –> gasoline deposited in tank.

A set of ‘disks’ made on 200 mm wafers process 10 layers per second – with a yield of 3,000 cubic mm of material per second – massing 1.2 mg/mm3 – 3.6 grams per second – 120 devices per second per wafer. A CAPEX of $1,500 per wafer and a 2,400 hour run time – means 1 million devices are built per wafer. 10,000 per day. 10,000 wafers in parallel produce 100 million per day – 10 billion per ‘factory’ – 1 year life 40 billion ‘cloud’ – 20,000 gallons/hour premium gas supported by $15 MM CAPEX

These devices are formed by a new method my company has developed that takes silicon wafers, shapes the surface microscopically and puts wafers on the surface. Then, floats monomolecular layers on fluids which interface with the silicon rolls, picking up the monomolecular layer which bonds and folds to make a continuous stream of 30 milligram device capable of lifting 1 gram. The 3 cm square lifting wing, equipped with MEMS propulsive array accumulates 38 mg octane 86 mg water.

RFID uses microwaves to charge up a capacitor which is then discharged to provide power. Casimir effects are measurable, but no one has figured out how to get net energy out of it. I’m working on insect sized free-flying MEMS devices (think of a Maple Tree seed with a jet) that collect sunlight above the clouds in the day, and lands at night. 4 grams each with a 0.2 gramf thrust MEMs. Very little power is needed excess power process water CO2 into octane which is gathered in tanks at night.

It is actually a problem and scientists begin to find solutions.
Look for “Physicists Tweak Quantum Force, Reducing Barrier To Tiny Devices” in Google.

I hope this video attracts some real MEMS experts, whom I would like to ask a question.
Is Casimir force a significant problem for MEMS devices, or just a little nagging one.

Awesome!
i always wait and look on the internet about the latest consumer electronics items that i can buy.”":
so what would be the hottest consumer elecdtronic items for the year 2010?~;*
