Abstract

This paper presents an overview of a new
conceptual design of electromechanical systems using
ferromagnetic liquids. Idea of the new concept is explained,
advantages and disadvantages of such systems are discussed
and three illustrative examples are presented. Numerical
simulations and experiments on real devices are employed to
study properties of these systems.
