Abstract
Abstract A tank for containing a liquid whose bottom portion is partially comprised of a housing for an inductive oscillator having a pair of rotors. The rotors move in opposite directions so as to provide an in-phase reaction normal to the base of the tank to establish cavitation in liquid disposed in the tank.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
In combination: a vessel for containing a liquid having an opening in the bottom thereof, an inductive oscillator having a pair of oppositely orbiting masses, a housing for said oscillator having a portion thereof disposed within said opening in said vessel for directly delivering vibratory energy to the contents of said vessel, and an elastomeric diaphragm for compliantly suspending said portion of said housing in said opening.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
67 words
In combination: a vessel for containing a liquid having an opening in the bottom thereof, an inductive oscillator having a pair of oppositely orbiting masses, a housing for said oscillator having a portion thereof disposed within said opening in said vessel for directly delivering vibratory energy to the contents of said vessel, and an elastomeric diaphragm for compliantly suspending said portion of said housing in said opening.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
110 words
In a device for imparting sonic energy to a liquid for providing work functions in the liquid, a tank for containing said liquid having an opening therein, an elastomeric diaphragm attached to the edges of said opening, an oscillator including a housing and a pair of masses mounted for orbital motion in said housing, said oscillator housing being compliantly suspended in said diaphragm with the housing and diaphragm each partially covering said opening, the opening being completely sealed thereby, and means for driving said masses in opposite directions to cause said housing to vibrate primarily along a single axis, whereby said oscillator housing delivers vibratory energy directly to the liquid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
