Laptops with Power Plants...!

A new discovery of small thermal engine instead of Laptop Battery!

In near future, new coming Laptop computers, Mobile phones, Radios, etc. will be empowered by using thermal engines but not from Batteries. That is something like thermal generator engine or vehicle engine like engine operates by using fuels, developed by Massachusetts technology transfer center, USA.

There should be some basic components since it's operated by burning fuels though it's small and compact. There must be a combustion chamber to mix air and the fuel gases. Before that there should be a compressor to compress air and fuel as well as spinning blades to produce power. Those are essential for an engine. Other than that a cooling method should be implemented. With combination of all those components, a design for new engine is started by prof.Alan Epstein ( from Massachusetts technical centre) more than a decade earlier. Now he has successfully finished that task though it has taken many years.

This engine was created by using silicon plates. On those plates the rooms and other essentials are scratched. Together with six such blades this engine is created and it's smaller than a coin. After it is started the turbine blades which are tiny but strong will rotates more than 20,000 per second. So, then the compressed air is sent around the heated engine. now this engine is capable to produce power to operate 10W bulb. This is sufficient for a laptop computer.

This type of engine will not be too expensive to produce. Such as manufacturing Microchips, many engines can be manufactured at once by using silicon vapors and those can be separated from each other easily. So then the cost of production for one such engine takes something similar to a laptop battery.

Also the exiting thing is we can operate that thermal engine to empower connected laptop for around 15 to 20 hours from the cost of electric power needed for a laptop battery to operate about 3 hours!.

Therefor if we compare the values of that with traditional laptop battery we directly choose the thermal engine without any doubt.

The engine already developed, will be connected to new coming laptops within next years. Now the developers do some experiments to find out the methods to connect this engine with the silicon circuits. And we people wish to happen it soon :-)
