Abstract (en)
[origin: US2011052431A1] A pump for inducing liquid movement by means of polarisation electro-osmosis, comprising a passageway forming a flow path for fluid transport, at least one polarisable means located within said passageway so as to form at least one pore through said passageway, the at least one polarisable means being shaped such that at least a section of the pore walls are curved or inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the passageway, the pump further comprising a non-conductive porous membrane positioned across the flow path and in close proximity to the at least one polarisable means, the membrane comprising pores extending in a direction at least partially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the passageway and having a pore size smaller than the at least one pore formed by the polarisable means.
