Abstract
Acoustical shock waves are generated by electrical sparks within a gap between electrodes adjustably positioned for exposure to water adjacent a surface immersed therein. High voltage electrical energy derived from a constant current power supply, is stored in a capacitor for rapid. application to the electrodes by discharge during cyclic periods of short duration under remote control in order to render the acoustical shock waves so generated effective in preventing biofouling of the surface by organisms in the water.
