Abstract
This paper describes about the fabrication and testing of a novel electrohydrodynamic (EHD) micro-boat using parylene MEMS technology. The driven force of micro-boat utilizes the reaction force of the EHD, with planar electrodes, to pump nonpolar liquid. As a result, by applying a DC voltage of 30-40 V the instantaneous moving velocity of the EHD micro-boat is about 6.5 mm/min.
