The Magic of Acoustic Energy

Here at Primasonics® we like to think that we are pretty inventive. Indeed we always have at least one R&D programme ‘on the go’ with a leading UK university’s acoustic research unit. As well as looking for ways to improve and expand our existing range of Audiosonic™ Acoustic Cleaners, we are also working on ways to evaluate and harness different forms of acoustic energy in order to provide effective prevention of material build up in the most difficult and hazardous industrial applications.

The power of sound never ceases to amaze me and I recently read a fascinating article which stated that our body’s own DNA emits sound waves. Scientists are now developing an incredible new technology which will both record and amplify the minute acoustic signals given off not only by our DNA molecules but also by bacteria and viruses. Imagine what profound implications there would be for the medical world – the ability to identify specific viruses or cancer cells by the acoustic energy they emit.

On a more ‘refreshing’ note a device has already been created that uses only sound energy to refrigerate ice cream, making it therefore much easier to produce some of the delicious ice creams and sorbets which I have found on this delightful ice cream recipes web site.

Reading wonderful articles such as these gives me added enthusiasm to maintain Primasonics® International as the world leader in the design and manufacture of the best acoustic cleaning technologies. So why don’t you try our well proven sonic horn technologies to prevent material build up in your process facility, power station of dry material storage plant.
