Abstract
A device () includes: a first electrode (); an electro-statically movable second electrode (); and an electrically insulating layer () disposed between the first and second electrodes. The electro-statically movable second electrode is configured to have a first geometric configuration in response to a first electrical potential between the first and second electrodes, and is further configured to have a second geometric configuration in response to a second electrical potential between the first and second electrodes. The device is configured to receive a time-varying voltage and in response thereto the electrostatically movable second electrode is configured to repeatedly transition between the first geometric configuration and the second geometric configuration to influence a flow of a fluid () for cooling at least one heat-generating element ().
