Abstract

Embodiments relate to an electromagnetic, or electric, pump for pumping and/or transporting a liquid. Embodiments impart motion to a liquid, so as to stir, mix, circulate, or otherwise move the liquid. Embodiments transport water. The liquids can be conducting or non-conducting. Embodiments pump liquids in pipes. Embodiments utilize a shockwave effect, a magneto hydrodynamic effect, and/or an electrohydrodynamic effect to push the liquid. Embodiments operate with no mechanically moving parts, increasing the reliability of the pump. Embodiments of the electromagnetic (or electric) lifting, or pumping, device are thin such that the electrodes that create the pumping are installed inside the piping of the pump, reducing, or eliminating, sealing/leakage problems. Embodiments create one or more sparks, and/or filament discharges, triggered between one or more pairs of electrodes positioned such that a liquid is between the electrodes of the electrode pair, where the spark, or filament discharge, creates a plasma.
