Abstract
A fluid displacement device () having a homopolar motor (). The homopolar motor includes a rotatable disk () with at least one fluid displacement structure () disposed thereon. The fluid displacement structure can be a blade. The rotatable disk can be disposed within a cavity () defined in a substrate (), such as a ceramic substrate, a liquid crystal polymer substrate, or a semiconductor substrate. A closed loop control circuit () can be included to control the rotational speed of the rotatable disk. For example, the control circuit can control a voltage source or a current source that applies voltage across the rotatable disk. The control circuit also can control a strength of a magnet () that applies a magnetic field () substantially aligned with an axis or rotation () of the rotatable disk.
