Abstract: A force generating apparatus is configured to induce a force on at least a portion of objects of interest within a first channel system between a first point and a second point, where the average force comprises a non-zero component directed from the first point towards the second point. The magnitude of the associated change in the thermodynamic properties of the objects of interest between two given points within the first channel system is a function of the relevant properties of the channel system, such as the shear stress coefficient or the resistivity of the channel system to bulk flow of objects of interest. A second channel system can comprise a first point and a second point, and the second point of the second channel system can be diffusively coupled to the second point in the first channel system. The relevant properties of the second channel system can be configured to be different to the relevant properties of the first channel system. The difference in the magnitude of the change of thermodynamic properties between the first and second points in the first channel system and the second channel system can be employed to increase the pressure of objects of interest in a second reservoir relative to a first reservoir. A pressure modification apparatus and method can be used to convert thermal energy into useful energy, such as mechanical work or electricity, for example.

Abstract: An intentional fluid manipulation apparatus (IFMA) assembly with a first thrust apparatus that imparts a first induced velocity to a local free stream flow during a nominal operation requirement. The first thrust apparatus creates a streamtube. A second thrust apparatus is located in a downstream portion of the streamtube. The second thrust apparatus imparts a second induced velocity to the local free stream flow. The second induced velocity at the location of the second thrust apparatus has a component in a direction opposite to the direction of the first induced velocity at the location of the second thrust apparatus.

Abstract: A filtering apparatus formed by a plurality of channel systems. Each of the channel systems include an inlet port formed on an inlet side of the plate; no more than one outlet port formed on an outlet side of the plate; and a channel formed in the plate, the channel coupled to the inlet port and to the outlet port, wherein the ratio of the product of the capture area of the inlet ports of a channel system with the first transmissivity associated with the inlet ports to the product of the capture area of the outlet ports of a channel system with the second transmissivity associated with the outlet ports is greater than one. The channel system is configured to interact with objects of interest on a scale which is smaller than a value several orders of magnitude larger than the mean free path of an object of interest. Some plate embodiments are configured to interact with particles, such as air molecules, water molecules, or aerosols. Other plate embodiments are configured to interact with waves or wavelike particles, such as electrons, photons, phonons or acoustic waves.

Abstract: By subjecting a volume or a bulk of a working material to a body force per unit mass, such as gravity, inertial forces, electric forces, or magnetic forces, the perceived specific heat capacity of the volume of the working material can be increased or decreased as desired. The artificial modification of the perceived specific heat capacity of a material can be employed in a thermodynamic cycle to convert thermal energy directly into useful mechanical work, and vice versa.
