PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a drive system using intercalation substance as a new mechanochemical system. SOLUTION: This drive system is composed of an actuator using intercalation substance driven by solution change or solution thickness change, and a solution supply means to supply driving solution to the actuator. The actuator is composed of one or plural element parts having a columnar or fibrous form having an axis in an expansion/contraction direction of the intercalation substance, or a film- or plate-shaped form in which the expansion/contraction direction of the intercalation substance is perpendicular to a main surface. This drive system is used for an artificial muscle or the like.
