| 1. A method of cavitating a cavitation fluid within a cavitation chamber, the method comprising the steps of:
coupling the cavitation chamber to a cavitation fluid circulatory system;
degassing the cavitation fluid;
isolating the cavitation chamber, wherein said isolating step decouples the cavitation chamber from said cavitation fluid
circulatory system;
retracting a cavitation piston coupled to a hydraulic driver and coupled to the cavitation chamber, wherein at least one cavity
is formed within the cavitation fluid as a result of said retracting step; and
extending the cavitation piston, wherein said at least one cavity is imploded as a result of said extending step,
wherein extending the cavitation piston increases a first cavitation chamber internal pressure to a second cavitation chamber
internal pressure and thereafter adjusting the second cavitation chamber internal pressure by opening a valve coupled to the
cavitation chamber.
