Mini-generators based on locomotion of small objects have aroused widespread attention because of their potential application in powering small-scale electronic devices. Although improvements have been made in the development of mini-generators, there are still some key challenges such as low power output and energy conversion efficiency, which limit the potential application of mini-generators. Herein, through integrating a superhydrophobic surface, chemical reaction and solenoid coil/magnet into a system, an innovative mini-generator is designed, which can convert chemical energy into electrical energy through mechanical form.

Mini-generators converting other forms of energy into electric energy are ideal power supplies for widely used microelectronic devices because they need only a low power supply in the range of µW to mW. Among various creative strategies to fabricate mini-generators, recently developed functionally integrated systems combining self-propulsion of small objects and the application of Faraday's law show advantages such as facile, noncontact, low resistance, and durability. However, wide application of such functionally integrated systems is currently restricted by artificial energy inputs, such as chemical fuels or mechanical work, and harvesting energy available in the environment or nature is urgently required.

Objectives: To test the safety of a novel miniaturized device that produces nitric oxide (NO) from air by pulsed electrical discharge, and to demonstrate that the generated NO can be used to vasodilate the pulmonary vasculature in rabbits with chemically-induced pulmonary hypertension.
Study Design: A miniature NO (mini-NO) generator was tested for its ability to produce therapeutic levels (20-80 parts per million (ppm)) of NO, while removing potentially toxic gases and metal particles. We studied healthy 6-month-old New Zealand rabbits weighing 3.
