Abstract
There is provided a method of producing a localized concentration of energy. The method includes creating at least one shockwave propagating through a non-gaseous medium so as to be incident upon a pocket of gas suspended within the medium. The pocket of gas is spaced from a surface shaped so as, at least partially, to reflect said shockwave in such a way as to direct it onto said gas pocket.
