Electric-fluid energy converter
Abstract
Abstract A FLUERIC DEVICE FOR CONVERTING ELECTRICAL ENERGY INTO FLUID ENERGY AND VICE VERSA. THE BASIC DEVICE IS OF A LAMINATE STRUCTURE COMPRISED OF TWO ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE, CHANNELLED ELECTRODE MEMBERS, AN EMITTER AND A RECEIVER, WHICH ARE SPACED A GIVEN DISTANCE FROM EACH OTHER AND JOINED BETWEEN LAYERS OF ELECTRICALLY INSULATING MATERIAL. THE CHANNELS OF THE EMITTER AND RECEIVER ARE ALIGNED SO AS TO FORM A FLOW PASSAGE THROUGH THE DEVICE. A DIRECT CURRENT ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY IS IMPRESSED BETWEEN THE EMITTER AND RECEIVER TO CAUSE A FLOW OF IONS FROM THE EMITTER TO THE RECEIVER WHICH CAUSES FLUID TO BE PULLED FROM AN INLET THROUGH THE CHANNELS OF THE EMITTER AND RECEIVER AND OUT AN EXIT OF THE DEVICE.
