Patent ID: 8187545

Claim:
A cavitation system comprising: a cavitation chamber comprising: a first spherical region defined by a first inner diameter; a second spherical region defined by a second inner diameter; and a cylindrical region interposed between said first and second spherical regions, said cylindrical region coupling said first and second spherical regions, and said cylindrical region defined by a third inner diameter, wherein said third inner diameter is smaller than said first and second inner diameters; and an acoustic driver assembly incorporated within a first portion of a cavitation chamber wall, said first portion of said cavitation chamber wall corresponding to an end portion of said first spherical region of said cavitation chamber, wherein a head mass of said acoustic driver assembly protrudes through said first portion of said cavitation chamber wall, and wherein said acoustic driver assembly is configured to form and implode cavities within a cavitation fluid within said cavitation chamber, wherein a central axis corresponding to said acoustic driver assembly is coaxial with a central axis corresponding to said cavitation chamber, and wherein said central axis corresponding to said acoustic driver assembly extends through said cylindrical region.
