    Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pumps are attracting attention as next-generation pumps that are quiet, lightweight, and flexible. However, EHD pumps often have the problem of unstable output, which is one of the issues that must be overcome for practical use. There are various possible causes of instability, but in this paper, we focus on fluid dynamic instability and measure the pressure distribution inside the pump. In the experiment, manometers were attached to the pump to measure the pressure distribution from the liquid level, and at the same time, the current between the electrodes was measured to monitor whether an electrochemical reaction was occurring. As a result, we found that even when using the same pump design, applying the same voltage, and freshening the working fluid, the output flow rate varied from trial to trial. We also found that the output instability reflects the irregularity of the pressure distribution. Based on the observations, we discussed the relationship between the flow in the pump and its performance using a simple phenomenological model. The discussion raises the possibility that external loads, which have not previously been given much importance, may have a significant impact on pump stability. This shows that in the practical application of EHD pumps, it is necessary to carefully design not only the pump itself but also the entire flow system.

    Abstract

    Soft fluidic systems can be a versatile tool to design human–machine interfaces such as hydraulic actuators, liquid displays, and thermal haptics. Yet the bulkiness, noise, and rigidity of pumps and valves required for fluid circulation prevent their use in flexible and portable devices. This study introduces an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) driven flexible pump with resilience against dielectric breakdown. Previous EHD pumps, despite their excellent features such as quietness and high power density, suffer from dielectric breakdowns and subsequent permanent failures. This pump with novel electrode construction has the passive resilience to recover the insulation essential for EHD without any external input in the event of dielectric breakdown. The passive resilience of our pump is demonstrated in various scenarios. Notably, this pump withstands 100 dielectric breakdowns and maintains 90% of its performance. An active resilient system is also configured to enable continuous pumping. This system automatically removes bubbles and other impurities to recover flow generation. This pumps drive various soft fluid‐driven human‐machine interfaces like soft actuators, prosthetic hands, and tube‐format displays. The combination of passive resilience inherent in the pump and active resilience configured by the system ensures adaptability and robustness, setting the stage for the next generation of human–machine interfaces.

    Abstract

    The circadian rhythm is a fundamental physiological function for a wide range of organisms. The molecular machinery for generating rhythms has been elucidated over the last few decades. Nevertheless, the mechanism for temperature compensation of the oscillation period, which is a prominent property of the circadian rhythm, is still controversial. In this study, we propose a new mechanism through a chemically synthetic approach (i.e., we realized temperature compensation by the Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) gels). The BZ gels are prepared by embedding a metal catalyst of the BZ reaction into the gel polymer. We made the body of BZ gels using a temperature-sensitive polymer gel, which enabled temperature compensation of the oscillation by using temperature dependence of volume. Moreover, we constructed a simple mathematical model for the BZ oscillation in temperature-sensitive gels. The model can reproduce temperature compensation of BZ gels, even though all reactions are temperature sensitive according to the Arrhenius rule. Our finding hints that a soft body coupling may be underlying temperature-compensated biological functions, including circadian rhythms.

    Abstract

    Gel actuators have potential in soft robotics. Although gel actuators can realize various motions like contraction, expansion, and bending, most require external inputs such as batteries and circuits. Herein we propose a periodical torsional motion hydrogel driven by chemical energy from the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction. Our BZ gel system exhibits autonomous motion without a battery. The elastic moduli of the redox states of the BZ gel are investigated using stress–strain analysis. An experimental system, which integrates the BZ gel and two PDMS (dimethylpolysiloxane) rotators, is designed to evaluate torsion angles. The experimental pre-twist angle dependence of the rotary motion is compared with a theoretical rotation model. The results agree qualitatively. This study should contribute to the development of soft actuators without external components.
