Abstract:
A device for moving a fluid with magnetic gear includes two first balls each having a shape of sphere, respectively fixed to a rotating first shaft through respective centers of the sphere, each of the first balls having a first magnetic dipole in a direction orthogonal to the first shaft; and a second ball having a shape of sphere attaching a blade structure thereon to move the fluid, fixed to a freely rotatable second shaft through a center of the sphere, and having a second magnetic dipole in a direction orthogonal to the second shaft, wherein the centers of the first and second balls altogether form an isosceles triangle with a vertex angle ψ being defined about the center of the second ball, satisfying ψ = 2 arcsin ( 1 3 ) ≈ 70.53 ° .
