Abstract

A micro bubble generating system includes a shell having a well for retaining a first liquid to immerse an object. A micro bubble apparatus is provide to the shell for providing a pressurized mixture of a second liquid and a dissolved gas into the well so as to create a plurality of micro bubbles within the first liquid for engaging the object. One method of using micro bubbles includes providing a fluid mixture, including a saturated gas, to a fluid chamber connected a fitting; and producing a plurality of micro bubbles into a fluid. Another method of using micro bubbles includes providing a fluid mixture, including a saturated gas, into an air entrapment chamber; and producing a plurality of micro bubbles into a fluid.

Claims (13)

1. A method of using micro bubbles, comprising:

pressurizing a fluid mixture; providing the fluid mixture, including a saturated gas therein, into a fluid acceleration chamber and a plurality of elongated fluid pathways each connected to a fluid discharge outlet surrounded by a discharge section and an air entrapment chamber surrounding the discharge section; and producing from the saturated gas, a plurality of micro bubbles into a fluid.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of providing gas bubbles into the fluid; wherein the gas bubbles are larger than the micro bubbles.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of providing illumination to the fluid using light emitting diode devices.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of providing heat energy to the fluid.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of providing a scented gas into the saturated gas prior to the step of producing a plurality of micro bubble into a fluid.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of regulating a gas head for saturating the gas.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of providing a pressurized stream of air into the fluid during the step of producing the micro bubbles.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of providing gas bubbles into the fluid and a pressurized stream of air into the fluid; wherein the gas bubbles are larger than the micro bubbles.

9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of accelerating a velocity of the fluid mixture in the fluid acceleration chamber prior to the step of producing the micro bubbles.

10. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step engaging tissue of a human body with said micro bubbles.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the micro bubbles are mixed in the fluid to create a second fluid mixture used for cleaning plumbing.

12. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of sanitizing of the liquid with ultraviolet light.
