Powering a Micropump System: Solutions for 100 Volts

[pekpek]

Hello All,

I am trying to figure out how to power a micropump system that requires 100 volts. I looked at some current micro batteries, and their voltages range between 2 - 4 volts.

I am confused on how to provide enough power. Do I just use several batteries in series or use a voltage multiplier or both? Is there a more efficient way to power this type of device? The system I am trying to create is similar in dimension to a pacemaker.

hi
welcome to PF

a micropump that requires 100V ?

have you go a link to the datasheet for your particular pump ?

cheers
Dave

Thanks, Dave. It is a piezoelectric pump that we created using CAD. I don't have a datasheet for the pump.

What is the application? What are the specs you are trying to achieve with your micropump?

Then how did you arrive at the requirement of 100V?

Edit; wait, did you pick/calculate it yourself based on the amount you want your material to deflect?

Voltage is not power. How many watts? How much current flow do you need at 100V?
