Claim:
1. A bubble generation system comprising: a gaseous pressure source supplying a gas flow; a wave inducer including a first inlet in fluid communication with the gaseous pressure source to receive the gas flow and a first outlet, the wave inducer transitions the gas flow into a pulsating acoustic wave that exits the wave inducer through the first outlet, wherein the gas flow from the first inlet is a non-diverging gas flow that exits through the first outlet as the pulsating acoustic wave; a diffuser fluidly coupled to the first outlet of the wave inducer, the diffuser configured to produce bubbles from the pulsating acoustic wave; and a vent passageway fluidly coupled between the wave inducer and the diffuser, the vent passageway configured to be in fluid communication with an ambient environment.
