Ultrasonic cavitation in water produced by a Barbell Horn with a 75 mm tip diameter

This video shows ultrasonic cavitation in water produced by a Barbell Horn (output diameter = 75 mm) at a range of vibration amplitudes (from 10 to 150 microns). Unlike all other types of ultrasound horns, Barbell Horns (US Patent # 7156201) are capable of providing high vibration amplitude gains and having large output tip diameters simultaneously, thereby allowing to directly transfer what can be accomplished in the laboratory to the plant floor. The video illustrates the operation of ISM's ultrasonic reactor system comprising: ultrasonic generator, magnetostrictive transducer, Barbell horn, and flow-through reactor chamber. Most of the parts used in this demonstration were manufactured by Märkisches Werk Halver, according to ISM's intellectual property license.

Yes, at the maximum amplitude there was about 3 kW of acoustic power going into the water, all ultimately being converted into heat

@jackwhite910 The vibration of particles essentially is heat.

[jackwhite910]

did the water heat up due to the molecules vibrating?

@neiallswheel Ok cool sorry if I was a little brash.I totally see where your going with that question. Any way to use compressed air (160psi+) to vaporize the the fuel you r trying to burn. It seems whenever any one in the shop I work at ,myself included, use a blow gun to clean oil/penetrating oil/parts solvents off of parts it leaves a cloud of vapor behind and it usually lasts for a while (30 sec-2 minuets). i know its probably not feasible in a stand alone engine but might be good for R&D.

@x65535x sorry bout posting twice. ultrasonic cavitation is and had been part of the process of refining all crude oil for decades. you know that crap what we dont really want anymore.... CAVITATION HYDROCARBON CRACKING QUANTUM VORTEX will show the process which is fascinating. a shame that the process is not well publicised. im sure bio fuels would benefit . but im not sure so dont take my word for it. i basically want the frequency for FOGGING OIL for fuel EFFICIENCY and clean exhaust

@chucklit69 im trying a GEET fuel system that will benefit everyone who has an engine. the smaller the particles in combustion chamber the better chance they are completely used. geet otherwise known as a VORTEX HEAT EXCHANGER can seriously benefit the Nox and Co2 emissions . basically chuck , any fuel that is vaporised will ENHANCE combustion/ efficiency / emissions. petrol, water (also look up panacea university) oil vapours GO A LOT FURTHER. hope you see the relevence of my question. peace

@neiallswheel Why would you want to vaporize waste engine oil? Just because you cant see it once its vapor doesn't mean it's not there. I'm a mechanic and that stuff is nasty and will affect our planet if not disposed of properly, that's why they have company's devoted to recycling and re-refining oil to be used again. Bye the way that is a pretty cool thingy.

@neiallswheel That "thingy" as you call it, is an 8kW Ultrasonic Transducer, and effect it had on an oil would not be an efficient transformation.

8kW is roughly equivalent to 6HP.
