As new biomedical and industrial applications of shock waves emerge, the need to accurately and economically generate shocks is becoming more critical. Since a very large potential resides in biology and medicine areas for diagnostic and therapeutic uses, shock waves need to be efficiently produced in cells, tissues and organs. In the past, there have been a number of methods used to produce shock waves in liquids, all characterized by a large and rapid energy deposition, either through the detonation of an explosive, the irradiation of a target with a pulse of laser energy, the dumping of electricity through a spark gap, or the sudden acceleration of a piston, either by electromagnetic or piezoelectric means. There are well known shortcomings associated with each of these methods, such as the requirement for high-voltage electronics, the manipulation of explosives and/or the lack of control over the shock properties [1]. This paper presents a new method to generate highamplitude pressure pulses in liquids exploiting the advantages of low amplitude piezoelectric generators.
