  • Device for creating fluid flow
    Patent number: 8974200
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for inducing fluid flow. A fluid flow apparatus includes a directional membrane, a directional flow mechanism, and an oscillation module. The directional membrane allows a fluid to pass through the directional membrane in a first direction and resists fluid passing through the directional membrane in a second direction, the first direction substantially opposite the second direction. The directional flow mechanism allows a fluid to flow in a third direction and resists fluid flow in a fourth direction, the third direction substantially opposite the fourth direction. The oscillation module induces an oscillation in the directional membrane, wherein the oscillation of the directional membrane induces a flow of the fluid through the directional membrane in the first direction.
