Some of my favorite videos of mems devices. All devices shown here are real . . . not simulations. Feature
sizes on these devices are as small as 1 micron. For comparison, a human
red blood cell is 10 microns across. If you are on a 19K modem, DONT EVEN
TRY viewing these quicktime movies!

A pure rotational microengine, with the electrostatic
actuation occurring on the outside perimeter of the spinning disk. |

Back . . . by popular demand, the World's Smallest Steam
Engine. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is a fully functioning steam
engine, with piston narrower than a human red blood cell! |

You asked for it, and you got it . . . the first successful
demonstration of a six-gear MEMS gear chain. |

OK, the easy part was developing the world's most advanced
MEMS technology, the hard part was getting this LIVE dust mite to crawl up
on the gear, and take a spin around. For the whole sorted story on

Another amazing mite ride, this time at lower RPM |

Runaway mite. . . yes the mites are alive. This one
ran by so fast we were unable to give him a ride |
