An illustration of a green helicopter-like structure with three blades attached to three spheres, each with an outlet hole; one sphere is labeled “resonator.” A scale bar in the lower right corner is labeled 500 µm, roughly the diameter of the spheres. Below the illustration is a rainbow-colored image of one sphere and blade that are color coded by velocities that range from 0 m/s in blue to 3.12 m/s in red. A scale bar in the lower left corner is labeled 200 µm. The region just outside the sphere's outlet hole is the reddest.
