The generator consists of a movable ferro-platinum permanent magnet membrane on the micro-spring, a winding copper induction coil and two glass spacers.
The cell was filled with a nematic LC MLC-66100 froMerck KGaAaA, Darmstadt, Germany) with negative dielectric anisotropy, and the cell gap was maintained by 12-μm glass spacers.
Narrow, 1 mm thick glass spacers are used to hold the two electrodes at the set distance, and the lateral edges are sealed with inert epoxy to create a small volume between the electrodes.
A scheme of the membrane system was as follows: cathode compartment, polymer cation-exchange membrane (Nafion 117, Dupont, Wilmington, DE, USA), desalination compartment filled with glass spacers (6 × 10−4 m of a diameter), inorganic membrane, concentration compartment, polymer cation-exchange membrane and anode compartment.
Each layer is separated by very small glass spacers.
The CaO-SiO2-P2O5-B2O3 glaspaceramics spacer generates chemical bonding to adjacent bones with high mechanical stability to produce a union with the end plate, and ultimately stability.
The three glass grid spacers and the two MCPs form a continuous resistive path between cathode and anode, with the voltages across the MCPs and the spacers determined by the resistance of each.
The divider, which distributes high voltage applied to the photocathode to the two micro-channel plates (MCPs) that constitute the amplification stage, is comprised of the two MCPs and three glass mechanical spacers, each of which is coated with a resistive layer using atomic layer deposition (ALD).
The chosen MLI system is crinkled Kapton® foils with vapor-deposited aluminium on both sides, and with glass paper as spacers in between.
