In 2008, Zhao et al. prepared a single-walled carbon nanotube generator [7], which imparted momentum to the water in the carbon nanotubes by applying a voltage to both ends of the carbon nanotubes, such that the other

Antiparallel cantilever pairs were designed, fabricated and compared to a single cantilever based hair sensor in
