There is an article in Jan-Feb '98 issue of MIT's Technology Review (pg 10) about a MEMS Gas Turbine. It's 4mm in diameter, with a 2mm long combustion chamber. It's made out of silicon, and fabbed like a computer chip. The proposal is to combine this turbine with a MEMS generator to create an electric source to replace batteries. It would weigh about 1 gram. The estimate is that such an engine would produce 10 to 20 times the power of the best chemical batteries.
