Help with generating acoustic cavitations bubbles

Hi there,

I am trying to study the sonochemical properties of acoustic cavitation bubbles. I have to figure out how to generate the bubbles in water. I have been reading about it but I’m not an engineer so I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. From what I have read, I can use a piezoelectric transducer to generate electric energy which can somehow be turned into a sound wave, which will generate the bubbles. What I’m wondering is what sort of device would turn the energy from the transducer into a sound wave, and how would I attach it to the transducer? Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated!

This article (among others on the web) gives construction details. http://techmind.org/sl/

You need high power transducers and a suitable amplifier.

Can you just use (or adapt) an ultrasonic cleaner?
