Abstract
The fundamental swimming properties of spiral-type magnetic micro-machines were investigated in detail by constructing four micro-machines with differnt structures. These micro-machines are able to swim in various liquids with kinematic viscosities ranging from 1.37 to 1000mm^2/s. This result suggests that the micro-machines have potential medical uses. In particular, they can swim against the stream in a liquid whose the velocity is comparable to the that of venous blood.
