Method for driving liquid, and method and apparatus for mixing and agitation employing the method
 A method for driving an ionic conductive liquid comprises placing a pair of electrodes in the ionic conductive liquid, and exerting an electromagnetic force to the liquid by application of a voltage between the pair of the electrodes to drive the liquid. A method for mixing and agitating a medium comprises feeding the medium to an ionic conductive liquid, placing a pair of electrodes in the ionic conductive liquid, and exerting an electromagnetic force to the liquid by application of a voltage to drive the liquid and to mix and agitate the medium. An apparatus for delivering a liquid comprises a container for housing an ionic conductive liquid, at least one pair of electrodes in the container, and a power source for applying an voltage between the pair of electrodes, the apparatus delivering the liquid from the container by driving the liquid according to the method for driving.
