1. An ultrasound atomizer comprising:

  • a. an ultrasound transducer;

    b. an ultrasound tip having a radial surface between a distal end and a proximal end;

    c. a radiation surface at the ultrasound tip distal end;

    d. the ultrasound tip proximal end fastened to the ultrasound transducer;

    e. a delivery collar having a delivery collar distal end, a liquid receiving orifice and a liquid delivery orifice in fluid communication with the liquid receiving orifice and sufficiently narrow to atomize an exiting pressurized liquid;

    f. the liquid delivery orifice positioned at a distance from the tip such that said pressurized liquid exiting the liquid delivery orifice as an expanding drop contacts the ultrasound tip before the surface tension of the liquid is broken by the expansion of the drop to permit forming from the drop a liquid conduit between the delivery collar and the ultrasound tip.
