Welcome to the
VIMPA (Vibrating Microengines for
Power Generation and Microsystem Actuation)
website
Here you can find information on an innovative Project
in the field of portable energy. Three top level universities,
funded by the European Commission in the framework of
a special program, are involved in the development of
a small, high performance power generator exploiting
clean fuels.
VIMPA has the potential to really astonish the
scientific, technological and industrial international
community with a truly effective microgenerator. It
consequently aims at assessing the leadership of European
technology concerning power generation, as it was when
combustion engines were invented and as it is now thanks
to state of the art products in the automotive domain.
The enabling factor for this is to focus, from the very
beginning of the project, on microengineering issues
and methods, where new and interdisciplinary paradigms
are being developed by the partners. |
