Description

Microelectromechanical power sources (MEMS) are Microsystems which produce power or pump heat. A microsystem is a structure of characteristic dimension which is less than a centimeter and can be as small as a few nanometers. These devices are dependant on energy sources to carry out their function. This paper reviews advancements in MEMS technology and energy sources which are used to power them. The applications, efficiencies and feasibility of these MEMS power sources are also reviewed in this paper.
