ABSTRACT:
A piezocellular force generating and acoustic interacting device comprising a multiplicity of electrodeformable membranes under semi-autonomous cellular control that directly converts electrical energy into fluid energy by membrane bending, directs thrust by concerted cell actions, and ameliorates friction by passively and actively complying with, and adding fluid to, a boundary layer. The device also provides useful passive and active acoustic fluid interactions.
