AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENT ICE-REDUCTION SYSTEM

摘要

Automotive component ice-reduction systems are disclosed herein. One example of the system includes a substrate and a first conductor fixedly attached to the substrate. A flexible member is operatively attached to the substrate and has a second conductor embedded therein. The second conductor is disposed substantially adjacent and substantially parallel to the first conductor when the system is in a de-energized state. An electrical power supply is operatively connected to the first and the second conductors to selectively produce mutually repulsive magnetic fields from the first and the second conductors in order to induce a mechanical pulse in the flexible member.
