ABSTRACT:
A novel acoustic broom is provided herein. The acoustic broom comprises an enclosed housing formed of a material which is transparent to wave energy, (e.g., acoustic energy, namely, a synthetic plastic material). A plurality of ceramic, plate-like wave energy (e.g., acoustic energy) generators are disposed within the housing. Each of these generators consists of a cylindrical sub-housing formed of material which is transparent to the wave energy, and each of the ceramic plate-like generators of the wave energy is secured within the cylindrical sub-housing. The circular ends of the cylindrical sub-housing are sealed. Operator means are actuatable to act upon the ceramic plate-like wave energy (e.g., acoustic energy) generators to generate and propagate the wave energy (e.g., the acoustic energy). These operator means usually comprises electrical energy means and electrical connections are provided from the ceramic plate-like wave energy (e.g., acoustic energy) generator to the electric operator.
