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?

Transducers work well. Most are ceramic or crystalline but there is a plastic -Polyvinylidene Fluoride, that can be used. The subs use PVDF for the sonars.

Yer getting the picture... big assed power amp, frequency generator tuned to apply the power at the right frequency, and a vibrational generator to convert the power to ultrasonic energy.
