Liquid Metal Enabled Pump
RMIT University researchers have developed the world's first liquid metal enabled pump, a revolutionary new micro-scale device with no mechanical parts.
VISUAL: RMIT University logo.
VISUAL: A drop of Galinstan, a non-toxic liquid metal alloy comprised of gallium, indium and tin is placed into the pumping system which induces a flow of liquid in a looped channel in a clockwise direction. The pipes for the pumping system is in the shape of a rectangle, the drop goes in a bubble at the top right of the screen. There is another bubble at the bottom of the rectangle on the screen.
VISUAL: Same image as before, repeated, but slower.
VISUAL: Same as image as before, repeated, this time the dropper can be seen dropping the liquid metal in at the top.
VISUAL: Same image as before, repeated. Again, this time the speed of the liquid metal travelling through the pipes is slower.
