An In-Pipe Mobile Robot Using Electro-Conjugate Fluid

Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2011
An electro-conjugate fluid (ECF) is a kind of functional fluid, which produces a jet flow (ECF jet) when subjected to high DC voltage. It is known that a strong ECF jet is generated under nonuniform electric field, for example, the field with a pair of ...
