Claim 8:
9. The vibrorotational fluid flow actuator of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of tertiary vibrational fluid flow actuators, each positioned on a respective blade of the plurality of secondary blades of the secondary vibrational fluid flow actuator, each of the plurality of tertiary vibrational fluid flow actuators comprising:
a tertiary central body portion including a central axis,
a plurality of tertiary blades extending radially from an outer circumference of the tertiary central body portion; and
a plurality of tertiary tines positioned to contact a surface of the respective blade of the plurality of secondary blades on which the tertiary vibrational fluid flow actuator is positioned;
wherein when the tertiary vibrorotational fluid flow actuator is placed such that at least one of the plurality of tertiary tines are in physical contact with the surface of the respective secondary blade, vibration of the respective secondary blade induces rotation of the tertiary vibrorotational fluid flow actuator such that the tertiary blades and tertiary central body portion rotate about the axis of the tertiary central body portion thereby inducing fluid flow in a fluid surrounding the tertiary fluid flow actuator.
