The purpose ofthe pressure wave simulations (the previously described moving membrane simulations) was to determine if molecular dynamics would allow the coherent transfer of mechanical energy across a fluid. In these simulations, if energy transmission is to occur, the membrane vibrational periods must be commensurate with the length ofthe nanotube and speed of transmission. 

Out of these three heuristics, the second one seems to be most feasible. An acoustic system is a system producing sounds or sound waves as a result of a moving membrane, which is driven by a flowing electric current. We can imagine a situation in which an object is placed on a horizontally positioned membrane and a constant current is applied the object will be raised and will be kept in this new position as long as the constant current is applied. 

Huber The Huber MBR is radically different from aU other commercial submerged membrane systems, being based on a mechanically moved membrane. The Huber VRM (vacuum rotating membrane) uses flat-sheet membranes of polyethersulfone...
