Abstract
This disclosure is directed to a displacement amplifier for forming acoustic pulses and more particularly to one which incorporates a flexible movable lightweight diaphragm of rectangular configuration. It has upper and lower ends which are connected to opposing piston rods driven by duplicate pistons and double acting cylinders. The cylinders are located at opposite ends of the diaphragm or membrane. They are supported in an elongate tool which positions the flexible membrane in a generally rectangular window. This enables the membrane to flex as the pistons are driven, thereby enabling the flexure of the membrane to form dipole source for radially directed compression waves transmitted from the membrane in the window.
