The origins of microfluidics date back to the 1950s and 1960s, when researchers began to explore the behavior of fluids in small capillaries.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">\u00a0One of the early applications of microfluidics was in inkjet printers, where minuscule nozzles were employed to deposit small ink droplets onto paper. During the 1980s, advancements in microfabrication techniques such as photolithography and soft lithography facilitated the production of more intricate microfluidic devices that allowed for accurate control of fluid flow and mixing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">This opened new

However, <a href=\"https:\/\/eden-microfluidics.com\/\">Eden Tech<\/a> is taking it to the next level by designing microfluidic networks that can handle large volumes of water, up to several cubic meters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eden-microfluidics.com\/\">Eden Tech&#8217;s<\/a> design approach takes inspiration from nature&#8217;s most efficient and innovative systems. For instance, the micro-architecture of blood vessels in the human body enables the heart to pump 7 liters of blood per minute, using only an average of 1.3 W of energy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eden-microfluidics.com\/\">Eden Tech<\/a> has replicated this biomimetic design in its microfluidic networks, allowing for the transportation and processing of fluids at low energy, while achieving high performance.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); background-color: var(--ast-global-color-5);\">Thin microchannels pose a major obstacle due to their elevated fluidic resistance, which leads to a notable decline in pressure when large volumes of fluid are circulated. The art of handling large volumes of fluid in microfluidic networks in laminar flow is achieved by connecting the circuits in parallel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">This can be explained by drawing an analogy with Kirchhoff\u2019s Law. Kirchhoff\u2019s current law is a fundamental principle in electrical circuit analysis that states that the sum of currents entering and exiting any node in a circuit is zero. This principle can be applied to microfluidic circuits as well, as the laws of fluid dynamics and electrical circuit theory share similarities. In microfluidics, the application of Kirchhoff&#8217;s Law involves interconnecting the microchannels in a highly parallelized manner to reduce fluidic resistance.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">\u00a0This is achieved by arranging the microchannels in a network configuration such that the flow rate of fluid is divided equally between them. By doing so, the overall resistance of the microfluidic circuit is reduced, and the pressure drop is minimized, allowing for the circulation of larger volumes of fluid without the need for high-pressure pumps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">The parallel arrangement of microchannels also ensures that the laminar flow regime is maintained, which is essential for the efficient execution of chemical reactions. This is because the laminar flow regime is characterized by a low rate of mixing, resulting in efficient heat and mass transfer and uniform reaction conditions throughout the microfluidic circuit. However, it is also crucial to achieve uniform flow distribution in all the parallel connected channels which could be achieved by adjusting the channel dimensions and inlet design to minimize the pressure drop and promote uniform flow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-858976e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"858976e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1afa7e8\" data-id=\"1afa7e8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10172b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"10172b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;tilt&quot;,&quot;ekit_we_tilt_maxtilt&quot;:15,&quot;ekit_we_on_test_mode&quot;:&quot;on&quot;,&quot;ekit_we_tilt_scale&quot;:1}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/greenhydrogen-pathfinder.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Picture2-b.png\" title=\"Picture2 b\" alt=\"Picture2 b\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-03088cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"03088cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoCaption\" style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">Figure <!-- [if supportFields]><span\nstyle='mso-element:field-begin'><\/span><span\nstyle='mso-spacerun:yes'>\u00a0<\/span>SEQ Figure \\* ARABIC <span style='mso-element:\nfield-separator'><\/span><![endif]-->2<!-- [if supportFields]><span\nstyle='mso-no-proof:yes'><span style='mso-element:field-end'><\/span><\/span><![endif]--> The physical similarities between the flow of a fluid and the flow of electricity: (a) Poiseuille flow in a circular channel, (b) the hydraulic resistance of the circular channel (Cgeometry 1\u20444 8p for the circular channel), (c) equivalent circuit symbol of a fluidic resistor for the hydraulic resistance and Hagen\u2013 Poiseuille\u2019s law analogous to a resistor for the electric resistance and Ohm\u2019s law, (d) a partially exposed Tesla TR-212 1 kU carbon film resistor, (e) the electric resistance of a conductive wire, and (f) circuit symbol of the resistor for the electric resistance and Ohm\u2019s law.<sup><span style=\"color: black;\">5<\/span><\/sup><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2040212 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2040212\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b8910a2\" data-id=\"b8910a2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3eed860 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3eed860\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">Eden Tech has perfected this parallelized microfluidic network design.

membranes, which can be thick and prone to high maintenance. Instead, flow is utilized to separate gaseous products, reducing the equipment size and maintenance requirements. The absence of the membrane in microfluidic electrolyzers enables the placement of electrodes within close proximity, at distances of less than 1 mm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">This design significantly minimizes ohmic losses and reduces energy loss resulting from membrane material resistance, leading to greater energy efficiency. Although the inter-electrode gap width of 0.5 mm is comparable to that of a typical alkaline water electrolyzer separator, the ohmic drop is an order of magnitude smaller, allowing for significantly higher current densities.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">Moreover, the scalability of the microfluidic electrolyzer is facilitated by Eden Tech&#8217;s stackable microfluidic disc design, where thousands of microchannels connected in parallel are engraved on each disc. These discs can be stacked together to form a cartridge, and as more discs are added, the volume of fluid processed increases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\">With the massive integration of these discs, it creates a miniaturized factory capable of producing large-scale green hydrogen with minimal pumping losses. The modular design of the microfluidic electrolyzer permits simple scalability, allowing for hydrogen production on demand and in a distributed manner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); background-color: var(--ast-global-color-5);\"><a href=\"https:\/\/greenhydrogen-pathfinder.eu\/projects\/\">MACGHYVER\u2019s<\/a> microfluidic electrolyzer is a promising technology to produce green hydrogen, as it offers several advantages.
