Power Generation via Small Length Scale Thermo-Mechanical Systems: Current Status and Challenges, a Review

There has been significant interest and work toward the development of small length scale (micrometer to centimeter) energy conversion systems—heat engines and thermal energy harvesters—that operate on different thermal sources. Small combustion driven heat engines offer high power densities and lon...
