Abstract :
We report microscale permanent-magnet generators delivering 8W of DC power to an external load at room temperature, dropping to 4W at an operating temperature of 200degC, demonstrating that permanent magnet microgenerators are a feasible approach to microscale heat-engine-driven mechanical-to-electrical power converters.
