Download or read book Multi-Wafer Rotating MEMS Machines written by Jeffrey Lang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-18 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collaboration and research that was developed to produce the MIT Gas Turbine Engine are described in this book. Both the engine and generator are fabricated from silicon using a combination of bulk and surface microfabrication technologies. The book discusses the technical details that have gone into producing the engine and the overall systems-level tradeoffs, in particular its motor compressors and turbine generators, and the decisions that have been made.
