Most importantly.
Does anyone know how to make an ultrasonic cleaner? Is it just vibration, or does the vibrating motor need to be tuned to a specific frequency. If I use an old hand drill with a concentric hub on it, and a variable speed power supply, can I get it to the correct frequency? If I can, how will I know I am at the correct frequency? Rich |

Ultrasonic means "beyond sound" and for a cleaner, frequency is rarely discussed.
Make an ultrasonic device? Yes I have. If Ya wanna cut and cauterize tissue, 55 khz is the magic frequency number. It involved a whole lotta math, transducers, precise mechanical components, vibrational analysis of resonant systems, fricking exacting tuning, and a whole lot more. I've seen a lotta small cleaners for rings and ink pen tips but not a lot for bigger stuff. It can take a ton of power for larger systems to shake that much mass and the surgical ultrasonics use a load sensitive generator that dumps in more power as the load goes up. As per the little flashes of light that sometimes occur in liquids, some think they may be fusion power...... Ken |
