Woven Micro Pumps for Wearable Fluid Technology

Circulating of fluid through woven into a garment was used successfully during the Apollo moon landings to regulate the astronauts’ body temperature. A new development by researchers at Switzerland-based École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne resulted in miniature tube pumps in the form of fibers that allow high-pressure fluidic circuits to be woven into textiles without an external pump. Pressure and flow are created by electrohydrodynamics, propelling ions in a special dielectric fluid. No external mechanical pump is needed, so the system could be used to create advanced devices for simulation, or potentially as an assistive exoskeleton. * * STEM GAMES: Play some fun engineering-based STEM games on engineering.com: https://www.engineering.com/resources... * * ENGINEERING.COM TV: Watch in-depth engineering videos made for the engineering professional and found exclusively on engineering.com TV: For the Design Engineer: https://www.engineering.com/viewAll?c...
