Two Types of Novel Micro-Motors Based on Electro-Mechanical Interaction Between Slow Wave and Moving Medium

Abstract

Floquet theorem is used to show that electromagnetic slow wave can interact with moving dielectric or conductor and produce stable force density. Some basic mathematical formulations are described to compute such force density. Although only the lowest Floquet order is studied to illustrate the effectiveness of the interaction, the fundamental working principles for two types of novel RF micro-motors are shown to be possible.
