Abstract
Pumping forces provided by the thermolysis reaction of ammonium bicarbonate are implemented to drive 2.53 micro liters of the deionized water section. Pumping speeds of up to 3 mm/s in a 300 × 300 µn cross-section channel were achieved. The higher decomposition temperatures are, the faster the liquid section movements are.
