  • Abstract
    The potential benefits of microelectromechanical systems are discussed. The problems that must be resolved in designing such systems are examined. The wobble motor is used to illustrate how innovative design can overcome some of the problems posed. Torque-speed measurements on wobble motors are described, and some potential applications are indicated.<>
