Research prototype I read about
(at MIT? I forget):
they had developed a working (10,000 rpm) micromachined gas turbine
the size of a shirt button!
Idea was to couple it to a similarly sized electric generator.
I think they were talking about 10W output.
Working toward further realization.
Blew my mind.
Possibilities included powering mobile devices.
