Gadgets

jet-engine.jpgAlan Epstein, director of MIT's gas turbine laboratory has developed a chip based turbine that is designed to produce enough power to operate handheld devices, etc. -- so very soon (years) you could be saying good but to heavy batteries and hello to new small jet turbine powered handheld. The prototype jet engine measures less than the size of a five-cent piece, spins at 1,000,000 revolutions per minute. As reported Oct 20 when this story was featured at tecnology review the mini-turbine emits "a tiny stream of hot exhaust gas," so putting it in your pocket could leave you clothes with holes.
