Instead of them being a 1 axis technological design it could be a Brush less Multi-Axis with floating stators and high energy new light weight composite magnets. Or one might want to stay with the much heavier rare earth magnets. Or even a combination it would depend on the balance of the unit. Once the unit starts it could be like a Hit and Miss Engine, Firing or supplying on demand. The unit could be easily computer controlled so the unit would start replenishing lost power before the main power or batteries went dead. This would help tremendously with new Electric car designs. Just think an power source rite in the palm of ones hands…

And I beileve the sensor fusion will eables lot of applications. We all benefit from sensor fusion.

The 6 axis combination (3 axis gyro and 3 axis accelerometers) is in essence the make up of inertial navigation yet the article attempts to exclude this. As a diver, a needed application is intertial guidance for underwater navigation and tracking (find a location, follow a track, return to boat, etc). Dead reckoning has obvious limitaitons with set and drift. Final accuracy may be an issue with underwater times typically in the 30-60 minute range (no GPS connection for correction during that time). With a protective shell is there any discussion / movement toward developing a true inertial navigation app for cell phones. (underwater, size matters)
