An hourglass-shaped cavitation chamber is provided. The chamber is comprised of two large cylindrical regions separated by a smaller cylindrical region. Coupling the regions are two transitional sections which are preferably smooth and curved. The chamber can be fabricated from either a fragile material, such as a glass, or a machinable material, such as a metal. A ring-shaped acoustic driver is positioned around the outer circumference of one of the two large cylindrical regions of the cavitation chamber. Preferably the driver is held in place with an epoxy or other adhesive. If desired, a second ring-shaped acoustic driver can be positioned around the outer circumference of the second of the two large cylindrical regions of the cavitation chamber. Coupling conduits which can be used to fill/drain the chamber as well as couple the chamber to a degassing and/or circulatory system can be attached to one, or both, ends of the chamber.
