Cornell Chipsats

Cool stuff - though they seem to be talking about silicon substrates (eventually), not glass.

IEEE Spectrum, August 2011, Mason Peck

  • First sprites, 10g 3.8 cm square (1.5 inch)

    • 6.88 kg/m2 ( 3 gram thinsats, 0.028m2, 0.11 kg/m^2)

  • Dr. Peck speculates: eventually 20μm thick and 7.5mg, 60μm/s2

    • 4.5e-10 Newtons

    • Light pressure is 1367W/m2 / 2.998e8 m/s -> 4.56e-6 N/m2

    • approx 1e-4 m2 -> 2e-9 m3 -> 3750 kg/m3

    • ballistic coeff 0.0375 kg/m2

  • Lorentz force, charging the chipsats then deflecting in magnetic field
