Enhanced Liquid Metal Micro Droplet Generation by Pneumatic Actuation Based on the StarJet Method

Enhanced Liquid Metal Micro Droplet Generation by Pneumatic Actuation Based on the StarJet Method

We present a novel pneumatic actuation system for generation of liquid metal droplets according to the so-called StarJet method. In contrast to our previous work, the performance of the device has been significantly improved: the maximum droplet generation frequency in continuous mode has been incre...
