Shock wave producer, has parabolic reflector arranged such that it transforms shock waves generated by shock wave generator into parallel shockwaves, which are radiated parallely from generator

摘要

The producer has a parabolic reflector (R) with a focus (F), and a shock wave generator (Q) that is arranged in the focus and generates the shock waves in the focus under the assistance of the reflector. A plasma bleb is generated between electrodes by spark discharge in the focus. The reflector is arranged such that it transforms the shock waves into parallel shockwaves, which are radiated parallely from the generator. An independent claim is also included for a parabolic reflector for a shock wave producer.
