[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a terahertz nano water pump comprises a terahertz wave transmitter 1, a dimming component, two support plates 2 and a plurality of first nanotubes 3, wherein the dimming component is arranged below the terahertz wave transmitter 1, each of the support plates 2 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the dimming component, both ends of each of the first nanotubes 3 are respectively fixedly connected and connected to the support plates 2, a liquid adding box 4 is fixedly connected on a side of each of the support plates 2 away from the first nanotubes 3, a box cover 5 is detachably connected on a side of each of the liquid adding boxes 4 away from the support plates 2, and a liquid inlet pipe 6 is connected to the top of each of the liquid adding boxes 4;

[0037] For example, by putting the same amount of liquid into the liquid adding tank 4, the terahertz wave emitted by the terahertz wave emitter 1 is controlled by the dimming component to irradiate the first nanotube 3, and the water flow direction is determined according to the terahertz wave irradiation at one end of the first nanotube 3. At the same time, by controlling the terahertz wave irradiation length to control the water flow speed, the liquid in the liquid adding tank 4 at one end is directionally transported to the liquid adding tank 4 at the other end, thereby achieving the problem of terahertz wave irradiation controlled liquid directional transportation. More specifically, it can be applied to desalination work. The aperture of the first nanotube 3 is Smaller than salt particles, or a nanofiltration membrane is attached to the side of the support plate 2 away from the first nanotube 3 to block salt particles. Seawater is injected into one liquid adding tank 4 and fresh water is injected into the other liquid adding tank 4. The seawater is transported in the direction of fresh water through the control of the dimming component to complete the desalination work. Since the box cover 5 and the liquid adding tank 4 are detachable, after the desalination work is completed, the salt can be taken out by removing the box cover 5. At the same time, the two liquid adding tanks 4 have the same structure. There is no need to deliberately control the use direction during use. It is only necessary to control the dimming component to determine the liquid flow direction.
