Influent's Solution
Influent's Reaction-DriveTM is a radical innovation which enables orders of magnitude higher performance for space constrained fluid moving applications.
How Reaction-Drive Works
 Reaction-Drive technology is the powerful new engine behind Influent's miniature high-performance fluid-moving products, such as pulsed air jets, air pumps, liquid pumps, gas compressors and refrigerant compressors. Reaction-Drive has created a new way to use high force low displacement actuators such as piezo benders and variable reluctance electromagnetic actuators that enable the highest volumetric displacements in the smallest package size. The animation illustrates how the Reaction-Drive engine amplifies small piezo bender displacements to create volumetric displacements that are 100X larger than previous piezo pump designs. This amplification results from allowing the piezo bender to float back and forth with the resonant piston that it is driving.
Reaction-Drive Advantages
Influent's new fluid movers can provide: the highest flow rates in the smallest package sizes, scalability and years of reliable service due to the absence of any frictional moving parts. Additionally, Influent's current air mover product provides competitive cooling performance at significantly lower noise levels.
High Displacement Piezo Actuators
High performance piezo actuators have been developed by Influent that reliably provide the highest performance for a given actuator diameter. For example, Influent's 1.25 inch diameter piezo disk can reliably sustain displacements of up to 0.5 mm peak-to-peak displacements.
Intellectual Property
Influent's core technology innovations are protected by a number of international patent applications that together represent roughly 75% of the world's GDP.
