Title:
TRANSPORTATION OF OBJECT OF MICRO-SIZE AND RETRIEVAL OF MECHANICAL WORK BY MEANS OF CONSTANT ELECTRIC FIELD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/095724
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a technique, wherein, in a micro-size, an object can be moved at will without generating a current and transported to retrieve the mechanical work. As a result of earnest consideration, the inventors have found out that a dielectric body can be three-dimensionally transported at will simply by arranging two electrodes for generating an electric field in, for example, a dielectric body of a micro-size or the like in an insulation fluid such as oil, in such a manner that the central axes of the two electrodes are not on the same line, and applying an electric field (for example, constant electric field) thereto, thereby making it possible to retrieve the mechanical work, and have solved the problem.
