Abstract
This study is about a novel small piezoelectric pump. The pump utilizes a thin vibration plate on which bimorph type piezoelectric actuators generate progressive wave. It doesn't use check valves and can send fluid to both forward and backward directions. In this report, principle of the proposed pump is described at first, and then examination by experiment is discussed. Motion of the vibration plates in the air for sinusoidal drive with phase difference among the bimorph cells is investigated. Characteristics of the pump are examined by experiments. As a result, effectiveness of principle of the pump with progressive wave is shown. Ability and problems of the experimental pump in the present condition are clarified.
