A liquid droplet production apparatus comprising a separable perforate membrane (44), a means for supplying liquid to one side of the membrane, an actuator (41) for vibrating a membrane, so that the vibration causes liquid droplets to be ejected from the other side of the membrane, in which a magnetic force is used to connect the actuator to the membrane so that the vibration can be transmitted, wherein the magnetic force is generated by one or more arrays of magnets (43), eventually on a substrate (42), each array containing either a plurality of magnets or at least one magnet having a multiple pole configuration. |
