These microscopic windmills are bringing a new way to charge your smart phone, or even your house. The tiny windmill idea was generated by Professor Jung-Chih Chiao and his associate Smitha Rao. The wind mills are made from an Nickel Alloy Wafer. In these wafers, there could be a thousand or so windmills produced. The rotor on the top of the 2mm tower has about a 1.8mm diameter.
