    Can a Micro-Generator Fit These Size and Power Constraints?

    Thank you Simon, I investigated the link you recommended and aparrantly piezoelectric generation does not scale well. From the article, " layering the material has to be done in a specific way: an odd number of layers must be used, or the electrical current will cancel itself out. In...

    Can a Micro-Generator Fit These Size and Power Constraints?

    Based on what I have gathered so far, I don't see why a micro-scale generator wouldn't work, but then again I am a geographer with modest calculus skills. My biggest problem is not knowing how much I don't know, and I am hoping some kind and wise soul on PF can cure my ignorance. Let's say I...
