Engine on a Chip


The Gods that roam the hallways of MIT are at it again. Unhappy with current power hungry microchips, they are planning a chip with a built-in engine. The engine will be made from tiny bits of silicon that spin at 20,000 revolutions per second. They estimate each chip will be able to produce 10 watts of power! They envision this technology integrated into current silicon microchips, extending the battery life of devices by 10x! I bow to MIT.
