Electroactive Polymer (EAP) Actuators as Artificial Muscles - Reality

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for flushing debris from a liquid circulation system such as the cooling system of a water-cooled vehicle. The apparatus includes an inlet conduit for flushing liquid, a series of branch conduits connected to points on the circulation system, a drainage conduit for used water, and a valve or series of valves settable between various positions dictating different flow paths for the flushing liquid through the conduits and the circulation system.
