<p>A magnetohydrodynamic fluidic system mixes a first substance (11) and a second substance (12). A first substrate section includes a first flow channel (18a) and a first plurality of pairs of spaced electrodes (14a, 14b, 14c) operatively connected to the first flow channel. A second substrate section includes a second flow channel (19b) and a second plurality of pairs of spaced electrodes (17a, 17b, 17c, 17d) operatively connected to the second flow channel. A third substrate section includes a third flow channel (19) and a third plurality of pairs of spaced electrodes (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) operatively connected to the third flow channel. A magnetic section and a control section (5) are operatively connected to the spaced electrodes. The first substrate section, the second substrate section, the third substrate section, the first plurality of pairs of spaced electrodes, the second plurality of pairs of spaced electrodes, the third plurality of pairs of spaced electrodes, the magnetic section, and the control section are operated to move the first substance through the first flow channel, the second substance through the second flow channel, and both the first substance and the second substance into the third flow channel where they are mixed.</p> |
