Micro Windmills

  What if a windmills size could be reduced to fit comfortably inside the sleeve of a cell phone case?  That is exactly what Jung-Chih Chiao a electrical engineer from the University of Texas had in mind. These micro windmill measure about 2 millimeters wide and 2mm tall. In order to keep the costs low Jung-Chih Chiao and Smitha Rao had to utilize everyday electronic circuits. These tiny windmills can be produced cheaply enough for commercial usage and, one thousand of these tiny windmill's will be able to power communication and lighting system of a single family home.
