A stirring device and method for stirring a material using an applicator with an electrically controllable element placed on an outside surface of the applicator so that a controllable power source coupled to the electrically controllable element provides a controlled electrostatic charge to the element. The controlled electrostatic charge provided by the power source creates a variable electric field exterior to the outside surface of the applicator. The variable electric field induces a stirring movement to the material.

Stirring device and method using electrostatic charge

Methods and devices for removing entrapped bubbles or air in photovoltaic solar cells during a manufacturing process including an encapsulation process include, for example, wiggling the photovoltaic solar cells or pushing out air bubbles by applying vibrations and/or light pressures. Optional additional steps include liquid wetting or dispensing to or around the photovoltaic solar cell matrix for air releasing before the placement of the matrix into a liquid for encapsulation.
