  • METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR EVAPORATION BASED LIQUID TRANSPORT
    Publication number: 20240149264
    Abstract: This disclosure provides an apparatus, including a first plate having a first transport surface and a second plate having a second transport surface. The second plate is positioned at an acute angle with respect to the first plate such that a first transport surface of the first plate faces the second transport surface of the second plate. The first transport surface and the second transport surface are hydrophobic. The apparatus also includes one or more liquid droplets positioned between and in contact with the first transport surface and the second transport surface. During evaporation, the liquid droplet will automatically move towards the cusp of the first plate and the second plate.
