On-Chip Double Emulsion Droplet Assembly Using Electrowetting-on-Dielectric and Dielectrophoresis

“…The corresponding repetition rates then must be in the range from several per second to about once every ten seconds for a l-GW(e) power plant. [4] Therefore, between 100,000 and 500,000 targets per day will have to be made at a fraction of a dollar per target [4,24] to produce economically useful power. To avoid the need for a huge inventory of Tritium, these targets must be produced and then consumed continuously.…”

“…This is the liquid DEP regime. Neglecting the resistor in the circuit of Figure 3.4(b), the voltages across the liquid and the dielectric/hydrophobic layers in equation (3)(4)(5) are simply…”

“…Comparing equations (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12) and (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14), it is clear that V 1 and V 2 are both frequency dependent. Using equation (3-5a) and (3-5b), the voltages V 1 and V 2 are plotted in Both V 1 and V 2 eventually approach the value shown in equation (3-12) at DEP frequencies.…”

“…Among the few alternatives for the large scale environmentally responsible production of electric power, fusion energy has many potential advantages, including abundant fuel in nature, no carbon dioxide or other emissions, and intrinsic safety. [1][2][3][4] Fusion powers active stars. The fusion reaction of two nuclei with masses lower than iron releases energy [1].…”
