This is what chinese shops sell for $50-60.
A controller board and oscillating film jammed between steel/aluminum cylinders.

please report back after testing this down your urethra, you know you want to.

>trusting a chink device that plugs directly into mains
natural selection at its best

This desu

> being too stupid to analyse the circuit, the layout, look for catches, and work around them.

It's like you're only pretending to know anything about electronics.

That would be extremely painful.

But it got a fuse!
And anyway, I gonna ground the probe or tank (although the board does look fishy).
But what I'm actually seeking is parts of equipment to assemble food/drink sonicator for under $100. So I want to know what I should be looking for on ebay/craigslist.

ultrasonic parts cleaner.
fill with water
put food in plastic bag
put plastic bag in water in parts cleaner
profit?

Or you could just make these.

That would make sense if 100W+ cleaners were cheap (e.g. significantly under $100) and had one phat transducer so i could mount it on a bottom of much smaller (preferable conical) bowl. E.g. one coffee mug sized.

I use an ultrasonic/vibratory machine to steep vape juice faster.

As well as clean parts, tools, vapes, atties, glasses (optical) and jewellery. Works well with other liquids like ammonia or detergent too for cleaning certain items, as it has a SS tank.

Can you just put your sauce in an ultrasonic cleaner?

It's power VS volume. Plus something about the frequency: cleaners use 40kHz and rated 100W for 3l tank while cell disruptors use 19-20kHz (for a reason) and deliver up to 400W to small volume.
Also, sauces are secondary objective, primary being extraction with alcohol (yep, 24h of ultrasonic blasting of moonshine with some oak chips might replace 1yr maturation in a barrel, heh) and low temp coffee&tea brewing.
Meanwhile, I've found the source of boards and transducers on ebay, they sell a 20kHz@120W set for $35. Looks good for 0.5 or 1l thin-walled stainless steel cup. Need to think about additional mods like ultrasonic power delivery via bottom or immersed rod, getting small pressurized container (extraction goes better under pressure, although it seems redundant), heating/cooling in such a way that it would not waste too much power and would not get wrecked by the cavitation.
Another interesting project for summer: get vortex concrete mixer, mod the barrel with UHMWPE sheet, weld regular vibrators (for degassing and compaction) and ultrasound emitters (for additional mechano-chemical activation), attach a high-pressure lid to the barrel so I could use it with air compressor as poor man's concrete pump. After reading much about high-perf concretes, i think it's possible to achieve 100+MPa strength on your backyard to make some really good pavers, tabletops and sinks.
