Abstract

L'invention concerne une pompe comprenant un cylindre à l'échelle nanométrique qui est suspendu dans un boîtier. Le boîtier peut comprendre une pluralité d'ouvertures permettant le déplacement des molécules vers l'intérieur et vers l'extérieur du boîtier. Le cylindre à l'échelle nanométrique peut être suspendu en forme de corde à sauter ou en porte-à-faux. Le mouvement du cylindre à l'échelle nanométrique peut être arrêté mécaniquement dans son déplacement dans une direction particulière (par exemple, vers une extrémité particulière du boîtier). Par exemple, le cylindre et la butée agissent conjointement pour pomper des molécules dans une direction telle que le cylindre fasse rebondir la butée. La vitesse et le mouvement du cylindre à l'échelle nanométrique peuvent également être influencés électrostatiquement ou électromagnétiquement. De ce fait, la vitesse et la direction dans laquelle une substance de travail est pompée par un cylindre à l'échelle nanométrique peuvent être contrôlées électriquement.
