1. A shock wave signal generator for introducing a shock wave signal into a conduit containing a liquid fluid medium, said generator comprising:
a striker; and
a resonator operatively associated with the liquid fluid medium, said resonator configured to resonate when struck by the striker and emit a supersonic pulse that introduces at least one said shock wave signal into the liquid fluid medium.
