It is difficult to produce small turbines.
Pumping fluid from outside is easier, but it is not simple to integrate as many tubings.
Specific solutions are needed: we list some of them below:
Electrokinetic effects
Electrostatics in solution
Electro-osmosis
Electro-phoresis
Dielectrophoresis
Acoustic streaming
Quartz wind
Boundary-induced streaming
Cavitation micro-streaming
Fluid structure interactions
Soft walls
Intelligent walls made of a responsive gel
