Zusammenfassung:This invention pertains to the scaling and distribution of fluids. It provides fractal structures arranged to minimize the intersection of recursive fluid flow paths. Fluid transporting fractal devices, which can be employed whenever a controlled distribution and/or collection of fluids is desired, are constructed to position fractal stages of either progressively smaller or progressively larger scales along the direction of flow (Plates #). A preferred construction assigns generations of recursive fractal pattern to plates arranged in a stack.
