Abstract: A burner with an ultrasonic vibrator wherein a plurality of electrostrictive vibrator elements are clamped between a front metal plenum having an atomizing surface formed at the leading end thereof and a rear metal plenum; an intermediate supporting member is joined to said front or rear metal plenum in proximity to one of said vibrator elements most closest thereto; the intermediate supporting member is in turn supported by a supporting member; means is provided for supplying a liquid fuel to the atomizing surface; and means for feeding the combustion air in front of the atomizing surface, whereby no undesired load is added to the vibration system; the atomizing surface is subjected to stable ultrasonic vibration and consequently the atomized fuel particles may be well mixed with combustion air.

Abstract: An ultrasonic generator comprising an ultrasonic transducer having a natural frequency at which the dynamic admittance becomes maximum; a main circuit consisting of a switching circuit or first current regulator and a second current regulator connected in series to said switching circuit or first current regulator, the ultrasonic transducer being interconnected between an electrical source and the junction between said switching circuit or first current regulator and the second current regulator; a driving circuit for alternately driving the switching circuit or first current regulator and the second current regulator at a frequency equal to or substantially equal to the natural frequency of the ultrasonic transducer, thereby supplying the driving current thereto; and a feedback circuit for deriving an AC voltage in proportion to the magnitude of the driving current and feeding back this voltage to the driving circuit.
