The paper reports on set-up of the apparatus for converging cylindrical shock wave in water and its first test experiments. The first part of this paper describes set-up of the apparatus. In the second part there are reported the first experiment results. The experiment is aimed at obtaining evidence of shock wave and its localization. As a prove that the shock wave is generated the disintegration of cellular tissue in its focus was used.
