Abstract:
A magnetohydrodynamic fluidic system for mixing a first substance and a second substance comprising:a first substrate section having a first flow channel and a first plurality of MHD pumps operatively connected to said first flow channel, a second substrate section having a second flow channel and a second plurality of MHD pumps operatively connected to said second flow channel, a third substrate section having a third flow channel and a third plurality of MHD pumps operatively connected to said third flow channel, wherein said first substrate section, said second substrate section, and said third substrate section are connected at an angle to each other, and with said first and second substrate sections being in a first common plane and said third substrate section being in a second plane at an angle to the first common plane a control section, said first substrate section, said second substrate section, said third substrate section, said first plurality of MHD pumps, said second plurality of MHD pumps, said third plurality of MHD pumps, and said control section being operatively connected to move said first substance through said first flow channel, said second substance through said second flow channel, and both said first substance and said second substance into said third flow channel where they are mixed.
