| Now, a team of university, and industrial engineers has created a
prototype, microscale air pump that they say could be fabricated with
the techniques used to mass-produce microelectronic components such as
transistors. The pressure of viewers standing on the wooden

strap of either a backpack or a fanny pack that contained the air pump. |
