Bidirectional Wave-Propelled Capillary Spinners
Jack-William Barotta, Stuart J. Thomson, Luke F. L. Alventosa +2
When a solid body floats at the interface of a vibrating liquid bath, the relative motion between the object and interface generates outwardly propagating surface waves. It has rec…
Inertio-capillary rebound of a droplet impacting a fluid bath
Luke F. L. Alventosa, Radu Cimpeanu, Daniel M. Harris
The rebound of droplets impacting a deep fluid bath is studied both experimentally and theoretically. Millimetric drops are generated using a piezoelectric droplet-on-demand genera…
SurferBot: A wave-propelled aquatic vibrobot
Eugene Rhee, Robert Hunt, Stuart J. Thomson +1
Nature has evolved a vast array of strategies for propulsion at the air-fluid interface. Inspired by a survival mechanism initiated by the honeybee (Apis mellifera) trapped on the…
