Claim 8:
9. The apparatus of claim 1, where:
the plurality of capacitors comprises at least 100 capacitors,
the plurality of capacitors each have a length of between 2 mm and 4 mm, and a width of between 1 mm and 3 mm,
the one or more circuit boards comprise a plurality of stackable circuit boards each have a thickness of between 0.02 inches and 0.2 inches;
the pulse-generation system is configured to provide an inter-electrode conductive path by applying voltage to charge the plurality of capacitors during a period that the pulse-generation system applies voltage to the plurality of electrodes; and
the plurality of capacitors are configured to, upon reaching the threshold charge, discharge to the plurality of electrodes to generate one or more arcs along the inter-electrode conductive paths to vaporize additional portions of the liquid and generate one or more acoustic shock waves.
