Plumes are generated when the transducer is pointed upwards, towards the water's surface. The leftmost photo is of the Sonochemist in operation. The other three are of the Pulsar set on maximum power, with WIDTH and REP both set to three. These three are of a one kilowatt (acoustic) pulse striking the air- water interface.

This vessel has been modified to have a small funnel at the focus zone. This way, the fluid escaping (which is often shot out due to the radiation pressure) has been exposed to the maximum level of ultrasound. It can be collected as a "first pass" sample, and exposed again and again in "multiple pass" experiments.

This is a large vessel, with a 5 inch inside diameter. It can accommodate as many as four Sonochemists working together. It can be used when a process demands more ultrasonic power.
