electrohydrodynamic pumps

Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pumps are devices that move liquids or gases by using electrical forces instead of mechanical parts like impellers or pistons. When an electric field is applied, it ionizes the fluid, creating charged particles that can be accelerated, generating flow. This technology is energy-efficient, allows for precise control over the fluid movement, and operates silently. EHD pumps have applications in various fields, including microelectronics cooling, drug delivery systems, and even enhancing combustion in engines. Their unique operation makes them a promising alternative to traditional pumping methods.
