As used herein, a "driver" refers to a component, structure, device, system, apparatus, or mechanical piece for imparting motion or force on to another piece, aspect, component, or structure. ("driver." Merriam-Webster.com. Merriam-Webster, 2021. Web. 6 Jan. 2021. Modified.) A driver may impart a force or cause a motion on a mechanical part or set of parts or on a fluid such as a liquid or gas. Where the driver imparts a motion, the motion cause translation, rotation, and/or both translation and rotation. Where the driver imparts a force on a fluid, the driver may increase pressure on a fluid and/or the driver may decrease pressure on a fluid. In certain embodiments, a driver can be a wheel configured or connected to other parts such that rotation or motion of the driver causes motion of other interconnected or intercoupled parts of a component, system, apparatus, or device.
