作为一个简单的例子，自主电机，樟脑船在水中的化学刺激的变化的自我运动进行了研究。樟脑船的自运动的性质改变了特有的酯蒸汽（正丁酸甲酯）添加到一个圆形水室。因此，连续运动变为振荡运动，并且其周期根据酯液滴与腔室L之间的位置而增加。测量了水室中的表面张力，以阐明自运动的速度如何随L变化。讨论了自运动的性质与表面张力作为驱动力的关系。我们相信，目前的结果可能是有用的实现人工趋化系统在非线性和等温条件下。
As a simple example of an autonomous motor, the self-motion of a camphor boat on water with changes in chemical stimuli was investigated. The nature of the self-motion of a camphor boat changed characteristically with the addition of ester vapor (methyl n-butyrate) to a circular water chamber. Thus, continuous motion changed to oscillatory motion, and its period increased depending on the location between an ester droplet and the chamber, L. The surface tension in the water chamber was measured to clarify how the velocity of the self-motion changed with L. The nature of the self-motion is discussed in relation to the surface tension as the driving force. We believe that the present results may be useful for realizing artificial chemotaxis systems under nonlinear and isothermal conditions.
