This paper reports a novel, wirelessly powered micropump based on thermo-pneumatic actuation using a frequency-controlled heater. The micropump operates wirelessly through the energy transfer to a frequency-dependent heater, which was placed underneath the heating chamber of the pump. Heat is genera...
