Claim:
1. An apparatus comprising: an inner chamber configured to hold a mixture that is to be converted into an aerosol within the inner chamber; an outer chamber located around and substantially surrounding the inner chamber, and configured to hold a liquid fluid; and a wave generating device associated with the outer chamber and configured to generate waves that propagate through the liquid fluid into the mixture to stir the mixture; and a pneumatic atomizer configured to atomize the mixture to form the aerosol, the pneumatic atomizer comprising a gas inlet and a nozzle held within the inner chamber and associated with the gas inlet, wherein a gas flows through the gas inlet and out of the nozzle at a velocity sufficiently high to create a vacuum pressure that draws the mixture into the gas inlet and to shear the mixture into droplets to form the aerosol.
