Power Sources for Ultra Low Power Electronics

Abstract

DARPA asked JASON to examine the issue of power sources for low power electronics with a specific emphasis on the properties of nuclear batteries and integrated power sources combining power and electronics. During the 1998 Summer Study a workshop was held to provide background for the study, with participants listed in Appendix A. These people told us about topics including glucose fuel cells (Heller, Palmore), thin film Li batteries, solar cells, and supercapacitors (Bates, Lanning, and Kaschmitter), piezoelectrics and thermoelectrics (Hagood and Lyon), and nuclear batteries (Aselage and Emin). This report discusses the conclusions of our summer study.
