Patent ID: 7461966

Claim:
A method of operating a cavitation system comprising the steps of: dividing a cavitation chamber into a least three separate cavitation chamber volumes using at least two volume dividers, said dividing step further comprising the steps of: fabricating a first gas-tight and liquid-tight volume divider from a first rigid reflector and a first flexible member; installing said first gas-tight and liquid-tight volume divider between a first cavitation chamber volume and a second cavitation chamber volume; fabricating a second gas-tight and liquid-tight volume divider from a second rigid reflector and a second flexible member; and installing said second gas-tight and liquid-tight volume divider between said second cavitation chamber volume and a third cavitation chamber volume; and filling said second cavitation chamber volume with cavitation fluid; isolating said second cavitation chamber volume; maintaining said first cavitation chamber volume and said third cavitation chamber volume devoid of cavitation fluid; pressurizing said first cavitation chamber volume and said third cavitation chamber volume to a first pressure, wherein said first pressure is greater than a second pressure corresponding to said second cavitation chamber volume; and driving cavitation within said second cavitation chamber volume.
