Abstract
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.
