  • Patent number: 6570819
    Abstract: A reusable low frequency projector system that is capable of producing coherent broadband, high power, low frequency acoustic pressure waves underwater. The projector has two halves each with a spiral wound insulated wire core. The spiral wound wires are separately encapsulated and then joined flexibly in a contiguous parallel orientation. When energized by a voltage source the encapsulated spiral wound wires are repelled from one another and then come back together when not energized, imparting a pressure wave to the water at a desired frequency. The projector requires no pressure compensation devices for operation.
