A laser-machined MEMS axial flow turbine : design, fabrication, testing and materials analysis

A laser-machined MEMS axial flow turbine : design, fabrication, testing and materials analysis

This thesis details the design, fabrication and characterisation of a 13 mm-diameter axial flow microturbine with an integrated electromagnetic generator. Axial turbine blades are not amenable to fabrication by traditional MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) processes because they cannot be produ...
