Abstract

A novel ultrasonic pump system using a series of cylindrical ultrasonic transducers comprising an inner cylinder component that propagates ultrasound in an omni-directional pattern emanating from the outer surface of the inner transducer component. Further, it also comprises an outer cylinder component that propagates ultrasound in an omni-directional pattern emanating from the inner surface of the outer transducer component. The inner cylinder component is placed parallel within the outer cylinder component, the outer cylinder component having a hollow inner cylindrical diameter greater than the outer cylindrical diameter of the inner hollow cylinder component. This allows for and equi-distant hollow spacing parameter between the inner surface of the outer hollow cylinder, and the outer surface of the inner hollow cylinder component. As constructed in such a design feature therein lies the novel approach to propagating, by way of traveling acoustic pressure nodes and anti-nodes, a fluid down along the length of said cylinders. The invention teaches that with such a structure design, a pumping action will take place for the purpose of pumping fluids (liquids, vapors, and gases), and/or storing fluids for pressurization created in a special closed chamber comprising uni-directional pressure valves.
