PORTABLE: Lehigh Seeks Chip Power.
Fuel Cell Technology News, November, 2002
Lehigh University scientists are developing a tiny generating plant, housed on a silicon chip that they believe can produce enough hydrogen to run power-consuming portable devices. In an experiment the amount of hydrogen produced was small, but it was enough to demonstrate the Lehigh project is feasible.
According to Lehigh University assistant professor of chemical engineering Mayuresh Kothare (27 Memorial Drive West, Bethlehem, PA 18015; Tel: 610/758-3000), instead of a processing device for electrons, chips would become miniature chemical reactors or power plants. Kothare says that in one experiment a silicon chip was turned into a tiny steam engine. The channels normally used to transmit electrical current were used to carry steam. They could just as easily...
