• PURPOSE:
  • Simulate the behavior of a possible nanopump
    
    
• APPROACH :
  • transport of objects in a carrier gas
  • prototype nano-hydraulic cylinder
  • MD simulation
    
    
• RESULTS:
  Leakage rate of He past buckyball depends on:
  • buckytube diameter
  • restraint of buckytube (for example, tension)
  • fluid pump pressure
  • rigidity of tube, i.e. static or dynamic (lower)
