<p>Motor, comprising a first body ( 3 ) and second body ( 5 ), the latter being movably mounted with respect to the first body. A chamber ( 4 ), sandwiched between surfaces of said bodies, is filled with a non-polar and/or non-conductive first fluid ( 6 ) and at least one volume of a polar and/or conductive second fluid ( 7 ), which fluids are immiscible. One of said surfaces is provided with means ( 10 ) for locally varying the wettability of said surface by the second fluid, to move the or each volume of second fluid along a desired path. The other surface is provided with means ( 9, 14, 15 ) for coupling the or each volume of second fluid to this surface, so that this surface will be dragged along by the moving volume or volumes. This results in a relative movement between both surfaces and hence in a movement of the second body.</p> |
