"MEMS: Microfluidic battery runs on water"
Converting hydrostatic pressure directly into electrical current � without moving parts like a fuel cell � has enabled the demonstration of a new kind of battery. The electrokinetic microchannel battery prototype harnessed the combined sub-nanoamp electrical output from 500,000 microfluidic channels to generate microamps of current.
