Abstract
This invention for the production of high amplitude acoustic
standing waves, which can be used for thermo acoustic heat
transport purposes, describes the use of a rigid barrier in
place of a piston, thereby allowing the suspension of the
resonator to be external to the pressurized resonator and
allowing an independent choice of motor mechanism,
including the use of rotary motors instead of linear motors,
while incidently providing a mechanism for circulating
external heat transport fluids without requiring additional
pumps or heat pipes.
