ELECTRO-SENSITIVE WORKING MEDIUM AND METHOD OF USING THE MEDIUM

Abstract: A homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium of the present invention comprises at least one liquid organic compound having at least 3 halogen atoms, especially fluorine atoms, in the molecule thereof. It has an electro conductivity in the range of 4×10 -10 ∼5×10 -6 S/m at the operation temperature of the medium and a surface tension of 22dyn/cm or smaller at the operation temperature of the medium. The homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium is difficultly flammable or non-flammable. This homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium is placed in non-uniform electric fields to form a moving flow of the medium between the pair of electrodes, and the moving flow can be used in an ECF motor, a pump, a washing device and the like. As it particularly comprises a halogen atom, especially a fluorine compound, an electro-sensitive movable medium of the present invention is almost non-flammable and has no risk of ignition even if it is involved in sparks etc. between the electrodes. Also, the moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium can effectively be formed due to the electro conductivity and the surface tension of the medium having the particular ranges, respectively.

Description: Background of the Invention Technological field: The invention relates to a homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium which is difficultly flammable or non-flammable and also a method of using the medium. In more details the invention is a homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium which forms a moving flow by being applied to a high DC voltage (Electro-Conjugate Fluid = ECF). It is moreover a homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium which will not ignite even with spark etc., which may happen to take place at the time of application of a high voltage, and can be used with efficiency and safety and then a method of using this homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium. Prior Arts: It is disclosed, for example, in JP-A 9-271188, JP-A 9-208978, JP-A 10-146075, JP-A 9-208977, JP-A 10-88174 etc. to form a moving flow of a particular insulating liquid in correspondence to the applied voltage (ECF Effect) by applying a voltage to the liquid. By the way, it is necessary to apply the electro-sensitive movable medium to a high DC voltage of 1KV or larger in order to form the moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium with stability. A motor using the moving flow of this electro-sensitive movable medium can be miniaturized in size with an increased energy density and an increased transformation efficiency to transform the supplied electricity energy into a dynamic energy. Such a miniaturization of the device, however, has a short distance between the electrodes so that electric sparks may happen easily with application to a voltage even if little bubbles exist in the small device. For this reason there is a demand in a long use for an electro-sensitive movable medium which will neither be degraded nor ignite by way of sparks happening in application to a voltage. JP-A 6-57274 and JP-A 6-73390 disclose an electro-sensitive composition comprising a specified fluorine compound dispersed in an insulating liquid such as silicone oil. The fluorine compounds disclosed in the publications are solid at the normal temperature and insoluble or difficultly soluble in an insulating liquid such as silicone oil. It can be said that the electro-sensitive composition, disclosed in the publications, is a non-homogeneous system where the solid fluorine compound is dispersed finely in the insulating liquid. When an electro-sensitive composition of a non-homogeneous system is applied to a voltage, it will be changed in view of the fluid property, for example, because the finely dispersed fluorine compounds may align in the form of chains. Moreover the electro-sensitive composition of a non-homogeneous system can be difficultly stored for long with stability as liquid as the finely dispersed fluorine compound easily precipitate down with time. Then an insulating liquid such as silicone oil has such problems that, since it has a flash point, a base oil such as silicone oil sometimes ignites with sparks or degrades by itself with sparks happening many time. Disclosure of invention: The co-inventors have completed the invention with such a knowledge that it is necessary for an electro-sensitive movable medium to be stable even with sparks happening in application to a voltage so that a device using the electro-sensitive movable medium may be driven stably long time by an applied voltage, taking into account the basic property that the electro-sensitive movable medium forms a moving flow by an applied voltage. The invention has a purpose to provide an electro-sensitive movable medium to form a moving flow with application of DC voltage and then a method of using it. More in details, the invention has a purpose to provide an electro-sensitive movable medium which forms a moving flow by way of electric energy caused by application of DC voltage, realizing a mechanical energy such as a rotational energy from the moving flow of the liquid, and then a method of using it. Then the invention has a purpose to provide an electro-sensitive movable medium which can continue actuation of a device stably for a long time, without being ignited even if a spark occurs on application of a high DC voltage, and a method of using so stable an electro-sensitive movable medium. The invention is a homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium comprising at least one liquid organic compound having at least 3 halogen atoms in the molecule thereof, having an electro conductivity in the range of 4×10 -10 ∼5×10 -6 S/m at the operation temperature and a surface tension of 22dyn/cm or smaller at the operation temperature. The halogen atom is preferably a fluorine atom. It is desirable to have no flash point substantially. The method of using the electro-sensitive movable medium according to the invention is characterized by disposing at least one pair of electrodes in the medium and applying an electric voltage of 100V∼20KV between the pair of electrodes to form a movement of the medium from one electrode toward the other. It is characterized by filling a case equipped with at least one pair of electrodes with the medium, applying an electric voltage of 100V∼20KV between the pair of electrodes to form a moving flow of the medium and rotate a rotor, equipped rotatively in the case, by the formed moving flow (For example, use for SE type ECF motor.) It is characterized by filling a case with the medium, disposing at least one pair of electrodes on a rotor equipped rotatively in the case, applying an electric voltage of 100V∼20KV between the pair of electrodes to form a moving flow of the medium and rotate the rotor through reaction of the moving flow (For example, use for RE type ECF motor.) It is characterized by filling a container equipped with at least one pair of electrodes with the medium, placing a washing object, applying an electric voltage of 100V∼20KV between the pair of electrodes to form a moving flow of the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium and bringing the washing object into contact with the moving flow of the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium to wash the washing object (For example, used as a washing device.) It is characterized by filling, with the medium, a container having a least one pair of electrodes and applying an electric voltage of 100V∼20KV between the pair of electrodes to form a moving flow of the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium and move the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium to a target position (For example, use for a pump). The moving flow can make it possible to transfer a heat energy of a high temperature-having region to a low temperature-having region or that of a low temperature-having region to a high temperature-having region. It is also possible to fill a closed circulation system with the medium and applying an electric voltage to the medium to form a moving flow thereof and circulate the medium in the closed circulation system and thereby transfer the heat energy. Furthermore the invention provides a power supplier comprising at least one pair of electrodes and a medium comprising at least one liquid organic compound having at least 3 halogen atoms in the molecule thereof, the medium having an electroconductivity in the range of 4×10 -10 ∼5×10 -6 S/m at the operation temperature of the medium and a surface tension of 22dyn/cm or smaller at the operation temperature of the medium. This power supplier can be actuated in a box. It provides use of the above mentioned medium as a driving liquid, in particular to drive an actuator, a pump or a motor. According to the invention, the moving flow of the above mentioned medium can be formed and used as a driving power in various fields of arts. There are for example a method of cooling a high temperature-having region by bringing the moving flow of a low temperature medium into contact with the high temperature-having region and a method of heating a low temperature-having region by bringing the moving flow of a high temperature medium into contact with the low temperature-having region. In other words, the invention is a method of moving the above mentioned medium by way of application of a voltage. This moving liquid is utilized as a driving power. This power can rotate a rotor or also rotate a rotor by reaction of the medium's moving flow formed on the rotor wing. It is possible to wash or transfer material with the moving flow by itself. Heat transfer is also possible using this. It is preferred that the above mentioned homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium is difficultly flammable or non-flammable, not having any substantially flash point. The electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention contains a liquid organic compound having at least 3 halogen atoms, especially fluorine atoms, in the molecule thereof and the electro-sensitive movable medium is difficultly flammable or non-flammable, not having any flash point substantially. The homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium has an electroconductivity in the range of 4×10 -10 ∼5×10 -6 S/m at the operation temperature, being an insulating liquid substantially. The homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium containing a liquid organic compound having at least 3 halogen atoms, especially fluorine atoms, in the molecule has a surface tension of 22dyn/cm or smaller at the operation temperature. It is found that the lower the surface tension is, the better moving flow the electro-sensitive movable medium can evidently form when applied to a voltage. Having determined surface tensions of many kinds of liquids, many usual hydrocarbon compounds have a surface tension much higher than 22dyn/cm. Taking into account the relationship between the characterizing property for the electro-sensitive movable medium and the surface tension, it is found that a very good moving flow can be formed when a voltage is applied to a liquid having a surface tension of 22 dyn/cm or smaller, In general, when a hydrogen atom(s) bonding to a carbon atom is replaced with a halogen atom in one molecule, the surface tension decreases. This result gets greater with a halogen atom having a large electro negativity. The greatest result is obtained with fluorine atom for the halogen. Thus, an organic liquid on which at least 3 hydrogen atoms bonding to the carbon atoms are replaced with halogen atoms, especially fluorine atoms, has a low surface tension property. Also, a liquid having a low surface tension of 22 dyn/cm or smaller and being a halogen-containing compound, especially a fluorine-containing compound, is difficulty flammable or non-flammable, not having any substantially flash point. It has very excellent characteristics and properties for the electro-sensitive movable medium.

The electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention is a homogeneous liquid which contains substantially no particles etc. The liquid organic compound comprised in the electro-sensitive movable medium is an organic compound which has at least 3 halogen atoms, preferable 6-30 halogen atoms, especially fluorine atoms, in one molecule. The electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention is a liquid by itself in use. The organic liquid for the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention has at least 3 halogen atoms, preferably at least 6, especially fluorine atoms in one molecule. It has usually a structure such that 30-100%, preferably 35-100%, of hydrogen atoms which can be replaced by halogen atoms in one molecule have been replaced by halogen atoms, especially fluorine atoms. By this replacement of hydrogen atoms by halogen atoms, especially fluorine atoms, the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention becomes difficult flammable or nonflammable. Especially a compound in which all or part of replaceable hydrogen atoms have been replaced by halogen atoms, especially fluorine atoms, becomes nonflammable. In addition, the surface tension of the organic compound having at least 3 halogen atoms, especially fluorine atoms becomes smaller. Namely, the surface tension of the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention should be 22dyn/cm or smaller, preferably 10∼20dyn/cm. The surface tension is determined at the operation temperature where the electro-sensitive movable medium is used. The surface tension is determined according to the procedures described in JIS-3362. It may be of course measured with a commercially available surface tension measuring device. The surface tension of such compounds can be controlled to some extent by the number of halogen atoms, especially fluorine atoms in one molecule (proportions of replaceable hydrogen atoms replaced by halogen atoms, especially fluorine atoms). The compound containing at least 3 halogen atoms, especially fluorine atoms, as the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention, shows a smaller surface tension value than the corresponding compound which has no fluorine atoms. By having halogen atoms, especially fluorine atoms, the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention becomes difficulty flammable or nonflammable, not substantially having any flash point. The stability of the compound having halogen atoms, especially fluorine atoms, increases, being difficulty flammable or nonflammable, and this organic compound will not burn and decompose by a spark. The electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention is a substantially uniform and insulating substance. The electroconductivity σ at an electric field strength 2KV/mm is necessarily in the range of 4×10 -10 ∼ 5×10 -6 S/m. It is preferably in the range of 5×10 -10 ∼2.5×10 -6 S/m. The electroconductivity is determined at the operation temperature of the electro-sensitive movable medium. The electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention has a relatively small surface tension among organic liquid compounds. Dibutyladipate used in Reference Example, shown below, can drive an SE type ECF motor rotationally, but it has a surface tension of 33 dyn/cm, higher than the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention. It may generate small bubbles of air when the motor is filled with it or is actuated. Relatively high a voltage is used to drive the ECF motor and therefore sparks sometimes may happen with bubbles having entered into the medium and aligned between electrodes temporarily. A large electric current flows in a moment between the electrodes due to the sparks, imparting a bad result to an electric power supply or controllers and causing failures. The driving performance gets unstable. Then deterioration of the medium not only occurs due to sparks, but the medium ignites and burns with sparks if it is combustible, being very dangerously. It is found in test results that sparks occur less frequently by bubbles generated in actuation when the surface tension of the medium is 22 dyn/cm or smaller and more frequently with the medium of 30dyn/cm or larger. It is expected that bubbles will be stable in the medium as the surface tension is high, supposing that air involved into the contact surface between the medium and the case's wall and during operation is the principal cause for generated bubbles. The above explanation is based on an idea that it is a factor for generation of bubbles and very frequently occurring sparks that the high surface tension of the medium stabilizes bubbles occurred in the operation of the medium and make them encompassed stably in the medium. This is the most reasonable theory that could be taken for the invention to be appreciated at present. The invention, however, should not be interpreted with this theory. As mentioned above, the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention may comprise a single liquid organic compound having at least 3 halogen atoms, especially fluorine atoms, or a homogeneous mixture of plural compounds. In the case the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention is a mixture, the mixture has the above mentioned surface tension and electroconductivity. Then it is necessary that the whole mixture is difficulty flammable or nonflammable, not having any substantially flash point By using the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention, the device can be miniaturized with a small distance between the electrodes and the electro-sensitive movable medium will not ignite even due to sparks, caused by a small amount of air, and will hardly decompose due to the sparks. The electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention is a homogeneous system comprising a liquid organic compound, as mentioned above, and no insoluble matter is dispersed or suspended. Neither precipitates nor separated matter will occur. It is stable in a long term. Examples of liquid halogenated organic compounds comprised by the electro-sensitive movable medium having such properties, especially liquid fluorinated organic compounds, are as follows: (1) Ethyl-perfluorobutyl-ether (C 4 F 9 -O-C 2 H 5 ) [Electroconductivity =1.0×10 -9 S/m, surface tension=14 dyn/cm] (2) Ethyl-perfluoroisobutyl-ether (iso- C 4 F 9 -O-C 2 H 5 ) [ Electroconductivity =1.0×10 -9 S/m, surface tension=14 dyn/cm] (3) Methyl-perfluorobutyl-ether (C 4 F 9 -O-CH 3 ) Electroconductivity =1.1×10 -9 S/m, surface tension=14 dyn/cm] (4) Methyl-perfluoroisobutyl-ether (C 4 F 9 -O-C 2 H 5 ) [Electroconductivity =1.1×10 -9 S/m, surface tension=14 dyn/cm] (5) C 9 F 18 (It is a trimer of CF 3 -CF=CF 2 and the mixture of the following compound) (CF 3 ) 2 CFCF=C(CF 3 )CF (CF 3 ) 2 -52 % weight (CF 3 ) 2 CFCF 2 -C(CF 3 )=C(CF 3 ) 2 -48 % weight [Electroconductivity =3.5×10 -9 S/m, surface tension=16 dyn/cm] (6) C 6 F 12 (It is a dimmer of CF 3 -CF=CF 2 and the mixture of the following compound) (CF 3 ) 2 CFCF=CFCF 3 -93 % weight (CF 3 ) 2 C=CFCF 2 CF 3 - 7 % weight [Electroconductivity =6.0×10 -10 S/m, surface tension=13 dyn/cm] (7) Benzotrifluoride(CF 3 -C 6 H 5 ) [ Electroconductivity =5.0×10 -8 S/m, surface tension=21 dyn/cm] (8) p-Chlorobenzotrifluoride (p-Cl-C 6 H 4 -CF 3 ) [Electroconductivity =2.0×10 -8 S/m, surface tension=19 dyn/cm] (9) Perfluorinated thermomedium; a product name: GALDEN HT-200, Ausimont K.K. production [Electroconductivity =5.2×10 -10 S/m, surface tension=12 dyn/cm] (10) Mixture of 50 % weight of ethyl-perfluorobutyl-ether and 50 % weight of perfluorinated inert liquid [ Electroconductivity =7.8×10 -10 S/m, surface tension=14 dyn/cm, (25°C)] Ethyl-perfluorobutyl-ether (C 4 F 9 -O-C 2 H 5 ) [Electroconductivity =1.0×10 -9 S/m, surface tension=14 dyn/cm, (25°C)] Perfluorinated inert liquid (a product name: Fluorinert FC-43, Sumitomo 3M Co. Inc. production) Electroconductivity =7.0×10 -13 S/m, surface tension=12 dyn/cm, (25°C)] (11) Perfluorinated inert liquid (the product name: Fluorinert FC-43, Sumitomo 3M Co. Inc. production) (80°C) Electroconductivity =4.2×10 -10 S/m, surface tension=10.5 dyn/cm, (80°C)] These halogenated organic compounds, especially fluorinated organic compounds, are all liquid at the operation temperature. A single liquid halogenated organic compound, especially a single liquid fluorinated organic compound, having a surface tension and an electroconductivity in the range specified in the invention, may be used for the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention. A mixture of 2 or more halogenated organic compounds, especially fluorinated organic compounds, may be used, the mixture having been adjusted to have a surface tension and an electroconductivity in the range specified in the invention. The fluorinated compounds may have a good mutual compatibility with each other and plural fluorinated organic compounds can form a homogeneous mixture by mixing and form a moving flow. Alternatively the moving flow can be obtained if each compound of the mixture is electro-sensitive, even involved in phase separation. Furthermore, the above mentioned fluorinated compounds do not show any flash point when it is measured according to a general method of determining a flash point as shown in JIS-3362. Accordingly such a halogenated organic compound, especially fluorinated organic compound, is at least difficultly flammable and most of such compounds or a mixture thereof is nonflammable and will not burn. The halogenated organic compounds, especially fluorinated organic compounds, or a mixture thereof are very stable chemically and will hardly decompose even with a sudden change in the environmental condition like sparks. The viscosity of the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention is preferably low in order to obtain an efficient moving flow when an electric voltage is applied to it: The viscosity η at the operation temperature is not higher than 1×10 0 Pa·s and furthermore the viscosity η is preferable in the range of 1×10 -4 Pa·s∼1×10 0 Pa·s, the most preferably in the range of 2×10 -4 Pa· s∼8×10 -1 Pa·s. Furthermore, the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention comprises the above mentioned fluorinated organic compound in principle, but it may contain other component as far as the characteristics of the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention are maintained. Examples of other components which can be contained in the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention are a viscosity adjuster, coloring materials, stabilizers, a solubilizing agent, an electro-sensitivivty improvers or etc., which will not damage the characteristics of the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention. There are organic alcohol compounds and organic amine compounds as the electro-sensitive movable improver. They are soluble in the electro-sensitive movable medium and the electroconductivity and the surface tension of it with the mixed additive remain in the range specified in the invention. It is considered that the electro-sensitivity improver functions as an ionic nuclide or an ionic seed in the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention in the operation electric field to improve the electro-sensitive movable characteristics. This explanation is just a theory to assist comprehension of the invention, derived from the experimental facts which the co-inventors have confirmed. This theory should not limit the invention. Thus the moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium is formed by applying an electro voltage to at least 1 pair of electrodes disposed in the electro-sensitive movable medium. Using the electro-sensitive movable medium, the electric energy can be transformed into a kinetic energy such as the moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium. Furthermore, the electric energy can be used as a rotational energy by rotating a rotor with the moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium. A motor using the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention will be below explained. The motor using the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention is SE type ECF motor (Stator-electrode type electro-conjugate fluid motor) in which electrodes are disposed in a case, the moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium is formed by applying an electric voltage to the electrodes and the moving flow is made meet wings of a wing rotor to rotate the wing rotor, RE type ECF motor (Rotor-electrode type electro-conjugate fluid motor) in which electrodes are disposed in a rotor, the moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium is formed by applying an electric voltage to the electrodes so that the reaction of the moving flow may rotate the rotor, or a combined motor of them. The SE type ECF motor contains, as shown in Fig-1 and Fig-2, a case 10, a rotor 30 axially fixed with a rotating axis 20 to the case and at least 1 pair of electrodes 40, installed on the inside wall of the case 10, to apply an electric voltage to the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50. The case 10 is filled with the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium. The case 10 comprises a medium-accommodating member 11 being cylindrical with the bottom to accommodate the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50 and an upper cover 12 to seal the upper opening end of the medium-accommodating member 11. The medium-accommodating member 11 is defined by a side wall-forming cylinder 12 and a bottom-forming bottom material 13. The bottom material 13 is equipped at the center with a concave-shaped ball bearing 14 to fix the bottom edge of a rotating axis 20 axially and rotatively. The concave-shaped ball bearing 14 is preferably equipped with a bearing system 16 to reduce friction with the axis 20. The upper cover 12 is provided to seal the opening end of the medium-accommodating member 11. The upper cover 12 is provided at the center with an upper ball bearing 15 to fix the upper end of the axis 20 rotatively. The upper ball bearing 15 is preferably equipped with a bearing system 16. The case 10 is provided in the inside with a rotor 30. The rotor 30 is provided to rotate to the case 10 on the axis 20. The rotor 30 rotates with the moving flow formed in the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50 filling the case 10. In the invention, material being in contact with the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium (preferably fluorinated organic compounds) may be formed from a synthetic resin not being corroded with the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium (namely, halogenated organic compounds or fluorinated organic compounds), (for example: polyolefine such as polyethylene or polypropylene, Teflon, polycarbonate, acrylic resins, other engineering plastics, etc.), ceramics, wood, metal, glass or etc. It may be formed from an electroconductive material like metal such as stainless steel not to damage the insulation between the electrodes. Material for a device used with the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium is similarly that not being corroded with the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention. A plurality of electrodes 40 are provided nearly in parallel with the axis 20 on the inside circumferential wall of the case 10 or the electro-sensitive movable medium-contacting surface of the rotor 30. The plural electrodes 40 consist of a positive electrode and a negative electrode. Polarities of the disposed electrodes may be defined differently, for example, so that the positive electrode and the negative electrode may be located one after the other. The electrodes 40 are electrically connected with outside leading wire of the case 10 to supply electricity from the outside of a micro motor. In the SE type ECF motor, a preferably installed bearing system 16 is any of a needle bearing system, a rotor bearing system, a ball bearing system and a sleeve bearing system. Bearing systems 16 may be the same as or different from one another if they have plural bearing parts. The SE type ECF motor, typically shown in Figure 1 and 2, comprises a medium-accommodating member 11 having a bottom, being cylinderical and being filled with the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50, an upper cover 12 of the medium-accommodation member 11 and a wing rotor 30 to rotate with wings 31 receiving movement of the actuated medium when the electro-sensitive movable medium 50 inside the medium-accommodating member 11 moves by application to voltage. The bottom member 13 of the bottom-having, cylinderical medium-accommodating member 11 is provided with electrode inserting holes 41 for electrode 40a∼40h. The upper cover 12 is provided with electrode-fixing holes 42 to fix the electrode 40a∼40h, inserted from the electrode insertion holes 41, on the inner circumferential wall of the case 10. The upper cover is provided at the center with an upper ball bearing 15 in which a rotating axis 20 of the wing rotor 30 is inserted. The wing rotor 30 has plural wing board 31 arranged radially from the axis 20. The wing rotor 30 is fixed to rotate axially with a rotating axis 20 rotate between a concavo-shaped ball bearing 14 and an upper ball bearing 15, provided at the center of the bottom member 13 inside the medium accommodating member 11. The wing board 31 is shaped usually as a board, but may have various shape such as to benefit the movement of the electro-sensitive movable medium efficiently, for example, a shape curved in the flowing direction or a ratchet form etc. With a rotor like a flat disk having a resisting member, formed on the surface (and/or to the rear) to receive the moving flow of the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium, the SE type ECF motor of the invention may be formed as flat. Electrodes 40a∼40h are introduced into the inside of the medium accommodating member 11 through the electrode inserting hole 41 and extended upwards along the inner wall of the medium accommodating member 11 not to prevent rotation of the wing rotor 30, the top end being fixed in the electrode-fixing holes 42. Also, the electrode 40a∼40h can be formed on the wall of the medium accommodating member 11 by utilizing plating technology. A voltage is applied to such electrodes 40a∼40h. It may be sufficient to apply a voltage to some optional electrodes so that the moving flow of the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50 may be easily formed. The voltage may not be applied to all the electrodes. In order to form the moving flow of the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50, accordingly, at least of one pair of electrodes may be necessary among electrode 40a∼40h and the other electrodes may be a dummy electrode without applied voltage. The above medium accommodating member 11 is filled with the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50 in the invention without air remaining possibly. After it has been filled this way with the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50, a voltage is applied to the electrodes to form a un-uniform electric field in the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50 and the moving flow of the medium to rotate the rotor by receiving the moving flow. Figure 3 and also 4 show a sectional view typically showing an example of the structure of RE type ECF motor. The RE type ECF motor has a case 10 comprising a medium-accommodating member 11 having the bottom to accommodate the electro-sensitive movable medium 50 and an upper cover 12 to be engaged with a upper part release member of the medium-accommodating member 11 and seal the medium-accommodating member 11, as shown in Figure 3 and also Figure 4. The upper cover 12 is engaged with the upper opening of the medium accommodating member 11 and therefore a case 10 is sealed and formed by the upper cover 12 and the medium accommodating member 11. The medium-accommodating member 11 is provided at the center of the bottom with a concave-shaped ball bearing 14. The lower end of the axis 20 is supported by the ball bearing 14. The concave-shaped ball bearing 14 is provided with a rolling contact point 46 to connect electrically an outside terminal 48 with electrode 40a, 40c, 40e, 40g. The rolling contact point 46 contacts a lower rotating axis 22. The rolling contact point 46 is sealed with mercury 47 contacting with the lower axis 22. A bearing system 16 is preferably provided in the concave-shaped ball bearing 14 to reduce a friction coefficient between the concave-shaped ball bearing 14 and the lower part axis 22. The upper part of the above medium accommodating member 11 is released in order to be filled with the electro-sensitive movable medium 50. The sealed case 10 is formed by filling the above medium accommodating member 11 with the electro-sensitive movable medium 50 and engage the upper cover 12 with the released upper part of the medium-accommodating member 11. The upper cover 12 has an upper part of a ball bearing 15 at the center through which an upper axis 21 penetrates. The upper ball bearing 15 is provided with a rolling contact point 45 to supply electrodes 40b, 40d, 40f, 40h with electric power through an upper axis 22. The upper axis 21 is combined preferably with a bearing system 16 to reduce a friction coefficient with the hole 15 of the upper ball bearing. A leading wire is drawn from the rolling contact point 45 to form an outside terminal 48. The rolling contact point 45 is filled with mercury 47 as an electric conductor. In Figure 3, the above shown upper cover 12 is formed to fit with the medium-accommodating member 11 and furthermore the medium accommodating member 11 and the upper cover 12 may be screwed with each other to increase sealing of the case 10. A packing may be placed between the medium accommodating member 11 and the upper cover 12 to increase the sealing much better. The axis 20 is divided into the upper part and the lower part by a tube-shaped rotor 30 provided in the medium-accommodating member 11. The upper part and the lower part of the axis 22 are insulated electrically with an insulating material 23. The upper part axis 21 is inserted through the upper part of ball bearing 15 provided in the above shown upper cover 12 and is axially supported. The lower part axis 22, on the other hand, is axially supported at the lower end rotatively by the concave-shaped ball bearing 14 provided at the center of the bottom of the above shown medium accommodating member 11. A tube-shaped rotor 30 is provided between this upper part axis 21 and lower part axis 22 to rotate with an axis 20 in the medium-accommodating member 11. The tube-shaped rotor 30 is formed in the cylindrical form having the rotation axis of the axis 20 and disposed with a gap not to contact the inner wall of the medium-accommodating member 11. The ratio of the inner diameter of the medium-accommodating member 11 to the diameter of the tube-shaped rotor 30 (inner diameter of medium accommodating member 11/diameter of the rotor 30) is generally 1.01 or more, especially in the range of 1.05∼10.0. Furthermore, the used tube-shaped rotor 30 may be cylindrical and have various forms such as a rectangular parallelepiped body, a form having many protrusions on the surface and a form having a sectional view like star. Then the tube-shaped rotor 30 may be hollow. The hollow one may be in vacuum or filled with air, gas, liquid, solid or etc to accept different weights. By adjusting the weight of the tube-shaped rotor 30, it is possible to adjust the specific gravity of the tube-shaped rotor 30 in the electro-sensitive movable medium 50 and then control movement or balance of the tube-shaped rotor 30. The tube-shaped rotor 30 may be a flat disk and provided with electrodes on the upper and lower surfaces to form a flat RE type ECF motor. Electrodes 40a, 40c, 40e, 40 g, connected with the upper part axis 21, and electrodes 40b, 40d, 40f, 40h, connected with the lower part axis 22, are laid on the surface of the above shown cylinderical, tube-shaped rotor 30. The electrodes 40a, 40c, 40e, 40 g and also electrodes 40a, 40c, 40e, 40 g can be formed by stretching a leading wire on the cylinderical surface of the tube-shaped rotor 30. The electrodes 40a, 40c, 40e, 40 g and the electrodes 40a, 40c, 40e, 40 g can be located suitably. Figure 3 shows an example of arrangement of the electrodes, observing an RE type ECF motor with a tube-shaped rotor 30 from the upper side. The angle  between the electrodes, the electrodes 40a, 40c, 40e, 40 g and the electrodes 40b, 40d, 40f, 40h, is generally set at 3.0° ∼90.0° , preferably 1.0° ∼180° . The angle  between the electrodes depend on the number of provided electrodes. Two to 120 electrodes 40a∼40h can be stretched to adjust the angle  in the above shown range. In Figure 3 and 4, the electrodes extend from the electrode-inserting hole 44 to the surface of the tube-shaped rotor 30 and, the end, inserted into the electrode-inserting hole 43, is fixed on the surface of the tube-shaped rotor 30. The electrodes can be formed by arts of plating or print substrate. The case 10, comprising the above shown components, with the homogeneous electro-sensitive medium 50. Figure 3 and 4 show an example of an RE type ECF motor equipped with a tube-shaped rotor 30, formed by a tube, provided in a case 10. The tube-shaped rotor 30 is provided with a rotating axis 20 formed, for example, with a metallic, round-sectional bar. In order to apply a DC voltage between the electrodes 40a, 40c, 40e, 40 g and the electrodes 40b, 40d, 40f, 40h of the above shown RE style ECF motor a plus terminal and a minus terminal of the DC power supply are connected with outside terminals 48, 48, respectively. In this case, either of the electrodes 40a, 40c, 40e, 40 g or the electrodes 40b, 40d, 40f, 40h is positive and the other is negative. Either may be positive. By applying DC voltage, a moving flow of the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50 is formed and the tube-shaped rotor 30 starts with rotating by reaction to the moving flow. Then the device using the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium, being difficultly flammable or nonflammable, of the invention may be a combined type of the above shown SE type ECF motor with the RE type motor. That is, at least 1 pair of electrodes is installed on the inner wall of the case, at least 1 pair of electrodes is installed on the rotor, the rotor is made auto-rotate with the moving flow formed by the electrodes provided on the rotor, receiving the moving flow of the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium formed by the electrodes installed on the inner wall of the case. Details of the combined type ECF motor are disclosed to Utility model Registration No. 3041928. Utilizing then the moving flow formed by applying voltage to the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium, being difficultly flammable or nonflammable, of the invention, for example, mechanical parts or electronic parts can be washed precisely. Figure 7 shows an example of the washing machine of this method. As shown in Figure 7, a washing object 82 can be washed by disposing an electrode 71 and an electrode 72 in the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50, being difficultly flammable or nonflammable, of the invention, forming a moving flow 81 of the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50 between the electrodes 71,72 and bringing the washing object 82 placed on the electrode 71 in contact with the moving flow. A cirrus electrode having fiber 73 planted on the surface of the electrode 72 is preferably used in order to form a moving flow 81 of the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50 that will advance from the electrode 72 selectively toward the electrode 71 on which a washing object 82 has been placed. Namely, the washing device has at least 1 pair of electrode 71,72. A cirrus electrode is preferably used as the electrode 72, having fiber 73 planted on the surface in order to form an un-uniform electric field in the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50. An electrically conductive fiber is preferably used at least in part for the fiber 73 comprised in the cirrus electrode of the invention. The electrically conductive fiber has a relative resistance value of 10 2 Ω·cm or less. By planting an electrically conductive fiber having such a relative resistance value on the surface of the cirrus electrode 72, a potential difference is getting much larger between the top ends of the planted, electrically conductive fiber 73 and the other electrode 71 and a moving flow (jet flow) is formed toward the electrode 71 from the top ends of the fiber of the electrode 72 by application of voltage. The un-uniform electric field is formed in the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium, with which is filled a container 60, by using the cirrus electrode like this and a very strong jet is formed by the un-uniform electric field. Since a fluorinated organic compound used as the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention is a good washing solvent, it can dissolve and wash soils firmly adhered to the washing object 82. Alternatively soils can be removed by peeling physically them with the jet stream having a so high speed. The strength of the jet can be adjusted as proper by changing voltage with a controller 90. The jet-moving flow 81 formed toward the electrode 71 from the top ends of the cirrus fiber arrives at the surface of the electrode 71 or a washing object 82 placed on the surface, turns toward the direction to the cirrus electrode 72, turns back at the surface of the cirrus electrode and again is sent as jet from the end of the fiber. When bubbles of air are present on the surface of a washing object 82 in use of the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention as a washing liquid, the electro-sensitive movable medium will not burn and will hardly be deteriorated by spark, even if sparks have occurred by way of the bubbles, by using a halogenated organic compound, especially a fluorinated organic compound, as the electro-sensitive movable medium. A pump using the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention will be below explained. The pump with the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention is a device such that a moving flow of the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium is formed by being applied to voltage and thereby the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium is moved from one place to another. At least one pair of electrodes is placed in the above shown homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium and a moving flow of the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium is formed by applying voltage to the electrodes to move the medium. Figure 8 shows an example of the pump with the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention. As shown in Figure 8, at leat 1 pair of electrodes 40a, 40b is placed in the above shown homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50 and the at least 1 pair of electrodes is arranged so that a voltage of 200V∼15KV, preferably 100V∼20KV, may be applied to the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50 by way of a controller 90. Figure 8 shows a 1st container 91 and a 2nd container 92 so that the 1st container 91 and the 2nd container 92 are communicated with a 1st flowing channel 93 and a 2nd flowing channel 94. The pump is charged with the above shown homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50. When a un-uniform electric field is formed in the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium 50 by applying DC voltage to 1 pair of the electrodes 40a, 40b, a moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium is formed to move from one of electrode 40a toward the other electrode 40b and the electro-sensitive movable medium 50 of the container 91 transfers to the container 92. If the container 91 and the container 92 are located horizontally, the liquid level of the container 92 rises by the moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium 50 and then a corresponding quantity of the electro-sensitive movable medium to the quantity flowed into the container 92 flows out to the container 91 through the flowing channel 94. With voltage applied continuously to the electrode 40a, 40b, the above shown moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium 50 is formed continuously. The electrodes 40a, 40b work as a pump by which the electro-sensitive movable medium 50 contained in the containers 91 and 92 is moved from one to the other. For example, then, a heat generator (not shown in figures) is disposed near to the container 92 and the container 91 is placed at a lower temperature region than the heat generator, so that the electro-sensitive movable medium of the container 92 may be heated by heat of the heat generator (namely, heat absorption), the heated electro-sensitive movable medium 50 may move to the container 91, the heat of the electro-sensitive movable medium 50 radiating. With the pump using the electro-sensitive movable medium, accordingly, the heat generator (not shown in figures) being present in the vicinity of the container 92 can be cooled by the electro-sensitive movable medium 50. Figure 8 shows an example of an open case in which the electro-sensitive movable medium is in contact with air. There is not any risk, in the invention, that the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention happens to ignite by sparks in the case that air and the electro-sensitive movable medium are always in contact with each other. The electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention may be of course used in a closed system not be in contact with air. For example the container 91 and the container 92 may be located at different heights or levels, not be required to be at the same level as shown in Figure 8, because the electro-sensitive movable medium moves by applying voltage to at least 1 pair of electrodes and forming a moving flow. Figure 8 shows 1 pair of bar electrodes in use. The electrodes may be shaped so as to form a un-uniform electric field in the electro-sensitive movable medium, such as combination with a needle electrode with a tube elctrode. A different example of the RE type ECF motor is shown. Figure 9 (A) shows a sectional view of an RE type ECF motor and Figure 9 (B) shows an obliquely observed view of electrodes laid on a rotating member. Figure 10 shows another embodiment of electrodes laid on a rotating member. The RE type ECF motor will be explained with the same numeral references as the SE type ECF motor for common members or parts. The RE type ECF motor of the invention comprises the same basic components as the above shown SE type ECF motor. The RE type ECF motor, however, is different from the SE type ECF motor in location of electrodes and has electrode is laid on a rotating member, which forms a moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium by application to voltage and drives automatically by reaction thereto. Figure 9 (B) shows a positive electrode 150a and a negative electrode 150b, extended radially from the center of the rotating member. In the RE type ECF motor, the electrodes are displaced to form a un-uniform electric field in the electro-sensitive movable medium and a moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium is formed. The electrodes may be accordingly disposed and shaped in order to form the un-uniform electric field in the electro-sensitive movable medium. For instance, a pair of the positive electrode 150a and the negative electrode 150b may be disposed almost in parallel to each other. When the electrodes are used to form a moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium from one electrode to the other, from the positive electrode 150a toward the negative electrode 150b as shown in Figure 10, a moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium of the RE style ECF motor of the invention is formed to circulate along the surface or the rear surface of the rotating member 130 and the rotating member 130 is driven to rotate in the reacting direction of the formed moving flow. A method of using the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention, comprising filling, for example, the above shown SE type ECF motor, RE type ECF motor, a combined type ECF motor, a washing machine, a pump or etc. with a homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium comprising at least one liquid organic compound having at least 3 halogen atoms, especially fluorine atom, in the molecule, having an electroconductivity in the range of 4×10 -10 ∼5×10 -6 S/m at the operation temperature and a surface tension of 22dyn/cm or less at the operation temperature and optionally being difficultly flammable or nonflammable substantially without any flash point, disposing at least 1 pair of electrodes in the electro-sensitive movable medium and applying a voltage of 100V∼20KV, preferably 200V∼15KV to the electrodes. The applied voltage is generally DC voltage and then may be a voltage having various wave forms such as rectangle waves and pulse waves. A un-uniform electric field is formed in the electro-sensitive movable medium by applying voltage to the electro-sensitive movable medium. By applying voltage this way, an electric current flows, usually 0.05∼10.0µA, preferably 0.001∼100µA, in the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention. Accordingly, 1×10 -10 ∼ 1.0W, preferably 5×10 -7 ∼ 7×10 -2 W, is suitable as the electric power supplied to the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention. Then the moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium is formed by the un-uniform electric field formed in the electro-sensitive movable medium. The moving flow can be taken as rotary power and used for a motor. The moving flow can be used as a washing liquid stream by bringing the moving flow in contact with a washing object. The electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention comprises at least one liquid organic compound having at least 3 fluorine atoms in one molecule thereof and does not have any evident flash point, although it is tried to determine a flash point in accordance with a conventional method of determining a flash point. The electro-sensitive movable medium is, for this reason, difficultly flammable or nonflammable and most of them are nonflammable. Sparks sometimes happen to take place add, when air for example exists, between electrodes with application to a high voltage to a un-uniform electric field in the electro-sensitive movable medium. If the electro-sensitive movable medium is combustible, the electro-sensitive movable medium may ignite with repeated sparks. Reliability of the electro-sensitive movable medium is not sufficient in repeated use. The electro-sensitive movable medium including the fluorinated organic compound of the invention is not involved in risk of ignition, nor in oxidization deterioration. The homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium including the halogenated organic compound, especially fluorinated organic compound, according to the invention, has an electroconductivity in the range of 4×10 -10 ∼ 5×10 -6 S/m, preferably 5×10 -10 ∼2.5×10 -6 S/m, under the operation environment of the homogeneous electro-sensitive movable medium. By applying voltage, a moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium is formed. The moving flow having a high running speed can be formed easily because the electro-sensitive movable medium has a low surface tension. The electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention comprising the fluorinated organic compound has a low surface tension, which is caused by the halogenated organic compound, especially the fluorinated organic compound. When the electro-sensitive movable medium is used for an ultra small device (for example, an SE type ECF motor haying a diameter of about 3 mm and an RE type ECF motor having a thickness of about 2 mm etc) , a moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium can be formed more efficiently, because the surface tension of the electro-sensitive movable medium that resists to formation of the moving flow formation is small. Effect of the invention: The electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention is an electro-sensitive movable medium comprising a liquid organic compound that having at least 3 halogen atoms, especially fluorine atoms, in the molecule and the electro-sensitive movable medium is difficultly flammable or nonflammable. Accordingly, the electro-sensitive movable medium will not burn, even if sparks occur by application to voltage. Decomposition such as partial oxidization etc. is difficult. Furthermore, the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention is a uniform liquid having a given electroconductivity and can be used with stability for long time. The electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention has an electroconductivity at the operation temperature in the range of 4×10 -10 ∼5×10 -6 S/m and a low surface tension of 22dyn/cm or smaller. A moving flow of the electro-sensitive movable medium can be formed finely through application to voltage. The halogenated organic compound, especially fluorinated organic compound, comprised in the electro-sensitive movable medium of the invention, has a good washing property and can wash a washing object effectively by being brought in contact with the washing object. Example The invention will be below explained in reference to examples, however limited to them. Example 1∼11 Electroconductivities (electric resistance value) of compounds and mixtures (an electro-sensitive movable medium) shown in Table 1 were measured at 25°C. The electroconductivity is an electric resistance value when a compound was inserted between 2 sheets of metal disk electrodes having a diameter of 3.5 cm and DC voltage of 2KV was applied. Then the surface tension was measured in accordance with the method described in JIS-3362 for the compounds and mixtures (electro-sensitive movable medium). Then the compounds and the mixtures were determined in view of flash point by using a conventional measuring device (for example Cleveland opening type) of flash point. They are all nonflammable, having no flash point. The SE type ECF motor shown in Figure 5 and 6 was filled with the above shown electro-sensitive movable medium and DC voltage of 6KV was applied at 25°C, the rotation number of the wing rotor being measured. In the used SE type ECF motor, an inner peripheral length of a bottom-having, cylindrical container is 20 mm, the wing number of a wing rotor is 8, the height and width of the wings is 35 mm and 17 mm, respectively, and the wings are completely buried in 12 ml of the medium filling the container. The SE type ECF motor is provided with 4 electrodes. The 1st and 3rd electrodes are negative and the 2nd and 4th are positive. The electrodes were disposed so that the angle formed between the 1st and 3rd and that formed between the 2nd and the 4th may be each 180 degree and the angle formed between the 1st and the 2nd electrode and that formed between the 3rd and the 4 th may be each 45 degree. The SE type ECF motor having such components was charged with 12 ml of the medium and DC voltage of 6KV was applied between the electrodes. The rotating number of the rotor was measured. Results are shown in Table 2. The current value was 5µA in each test. In order to observe generation of bubbles, the same motor as above was driven except that the diameter of the bottom-having cylindrical container is 3 mm, a wing rotor has 6 wings being 5 mm high, the SE type ECF motor has a height of 3 mm and a width of 2.5 mm and it was filled with 0.03 ml of the medium. Generation of bubbles was observed with a digital microscope of 175 magnification in the medium contained in the driven SE type ECF motor. Results are shown in Table 2. In marks of generated bubbles, "little" means little bubbles observed, "middle" means that the medium was not whitened, but generated bubbles were observed and "many" means that the the medium was whitened with bubbles. (perfluorinated compound (the carbon number of the principal component is 12) CAS. No. 86508-42-1, content 100%) Rotation rate Generated bubble Example 1 108 rpm Little Example 2 102 rpm Little Example 3 105 rpm Little Example 4 102 rpm Little Example 5 52 rpm Little Example 6 40 rpm Little Example 7 68 rpm Little∼middle Example 8 70 rpm Little∼middle Example 9 35 rpm Little Example 10 81 rpm Little Example 11 18 rpm Little (80°C) It was observed in a repeated test that sparks sometimes occurred between the electrodes at the moment of application to voltage after charging with the above shown electro-sensitive movable medium. No ignition was observed in the electro-sensitive movable medium. Reference example 1 The SE type ECF motor was driven in the same way as Example 1 except for using dibutyladipate as the electro-sensitive movable medium. Dibutyladipate is C 4 H 9 -OCO-(CH 2 ) 4 -COO-C 4 H 9 in structure and has an electroconductivity of 1.0×10-8S/m, determined in the same way as Example 1, a surface tension of 33dyn/cm and a flash point of 160°C, determined by the Cleveland open-method, The small sized SE type ECF motor, used for observation of generated bubbles in Example 1, was charged with dibutyladipate. Bubbles were observed. The marks of bubbles was "many". The dibutyladipate was whitened with the generated bubbles. The SE type ECF motor using dibutyladipate as the electro-sensitive movable medium was driven with a rotation rate of 69rpm by application to DC voltage of 6KV. In driving test of the motor by repeated on-off switching of the voltage, the dibutyladipate was ignited with sparks occurring between the electrodes, by which the testing had to be stopped. In driving test of the motor by repeated on-off switching of the voltage, the small sized SE type ECF motor, used for observation of generated bubbles, was found to be involved in frequent sparks. Finally white smoke generated from the motor together with a nasty smell. This was the reason for stopping of the test, expecting a danger. Reference example 2 The SE type ECF motor was tried to drive in the same way as Example 11 except that the temperature of the perfluorinated inert liquid was 25°C. The electroconductivity at 25°C of the perfluorinated inert liquid is 7.0×10 -13 S/m and the surface tension at 25°C is 12dyn/cm. It was noted, however, that the SE type ECF motor filled with the perfluorinated inert liquid of 25 °C was not driven, because the electroconductivity at 25°C of the perfluorinated inert liquid is too low.
