When the bubble implodes, light is emitted. This is called: Sonoluminescence. Awesome. Quoting: SickScent Sonoluminescence is the emission of short bursts of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound. In 1989 a major experimental advance was introduced by Felipe Gaitan and Lawrence Crum, who produced stable single-bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL). In SBSL, a single bubble trapped in an acoustic standing wave, emits a pulse of light with each compression of the bubble within the standing wave. This technique allowed a more systematic study of the phenomenon, because it isolated the complex effects into one stable, predictable bubble. It was realized that the temperature inside the bubble was hot enough to melt steel. Interest in sonoluminescence was renewed when an inner temperature of such a bubble well above one million kelvins was postulated. This temperature is thus far not conclusively proven, though recent experiments conducted by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign indicate temperatures around 20,000 K. :sonoluminescence: Sonoluminescence can occur when a sound wave of sufficient intensity induces a gaseous cavity within a liquid to collapse quickly. This cavity may take the form of a pre-existing bubble, or may be generated through a process known as cavitation. Sonoluminescence in the laboratory can be made to be stable, so that a single bubble will expand and collapse over and over again in a periodic fashion, emitting a burst of light each time it collapses. For this to occur, a standing acoustic wave is set up within a liquid, and the bubble will sit at a pressure anti-node of the standing wave. The frequencies of resonance depend on the shape and size of the container in which the bubble is contained. ~ The light flashes from the bubbles are extremely short—between 35 and a few hundred picoseconds long—with peak intensities of the order of 1–10 mW. ~ The bubbles are very small when they emit the light—about 1 micrometre in diameter—depending on the ambient fluid (e.g., water) and the gas content of the bubble (e.g., atmospheric air). ~ Single-bubble sonoluminescence pulses can have very stable periods and positions. In fact, the frequency of light flashes can be more stable than the rated frequency stability of the oscillator making the sound waves driving them. However, the stability analyses of the bubble show that the bubble itself undergoes significant geometric instabilities, due to, for example, the Bjerknes forces and Rayleigh–Taylor instabilities. ~ The addition of a small amount of noble gas (such as helium, argon, or xenon) to the gas in the bubble increases the intensity of the emitted light. Great video, awesome superpower for such a little critter! Nature never ceases to amaze... |

Officially, this reaction is termed acoustic inertial confinement fusion (AICF) (see ICF) since the inertia of the collapsing bubble wall confines the energy, causing an extreme rise in temperature. The high temperatures that sonoluminescence can produce raise the possibility that it might be a means to achieve thermonuclear fusion... ...US patent 4,333,796,[2] filed by Hugh Flynn in 1978, appears to be the earliest documented reference to a sonofusion-type reaction. In the March 8, 2002 issue of the peer-reviewed journal Science, Rusi P. Taleyarkhan and colleagues at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) reported that acoustic cavitation experiments conducted with deuterated acetone (C3D6O) showed measurements of tritium and neutron output that were consistent with the occurrence of fusion. The neutron emission was also reported to be coincident with the sonoluminescence pulse, a key indicator that its source was fusion caused by the sonoluminescence.[3] Shock wave simulations seem to indicate that the temperatures inside the collapsing bubbles may reach up to 10 megakelvins, i.e. as hot as the center of the Sun. A 2008 study has provided data demonstrating bubble temperatures exceeding 100,000K and a pressure dependence that indicated temperatures above 106K could be expected under sonofusion conditions.[4] Although the apparatus operates in a room temperature environment, this is not cold fusion (as commonly termed in the popular press) because the nuclear reactions would be occurring at the very high temperatures in the core of the imploding bubbles.[1] [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

Sobering Thoughts from a Beaker: Fusion Anomaly Reported in Non-{Science} Magazine March 5 Evidence showing that nuclear fusion can occur in a beaker of liquid excited by sound waves, has produced a new flurry of press activity reminiscent of that around the 1989 announcement by Pons and Fleischmann that they had achieved fusion in an electrochemical cell. The new evidence, reporting on experiments by a team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is reported in an March 8, 2002 article in Science magazine that was released yesterday. As then, the prevailing popular delusions about what science is dominate the discussion, even by the scientists themselves. As the announcment of the 1989 cold fusion anomaly came under attack from lying establishment physicists, discussion unfortunately, degenerated into practical arguments over whether or not, and how soon, a cold-fusion cell in every basement could replace the gas furnace or oil burner. Whether the results announced in the 8 March Science article, ``Evidence for Nuclear Emissions During Acoustic Cavitation,'' prove sound or not, we are reminded again that scientific progress can result only from the posing and resolution of true paradoxes in the mind of an experimental investigator. The important subject in this case is sonoluminescence, the emission of pulses of blue light from the collapse of air bubbles in a liquid that has been excited by sound waves, first studied in Germany in 1934. How a light wave could be produced by a sound wave was the unsolved paradox. cont at link [link to www.21stcenturysciencetech.com] |

What would happen if one were to place said cavitating, luminescent, thermonuclear bubble in an electric field? Something like this? [link to www.holoscience.com] I was thinking about this...

C.; Nigmatulin, R., The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, vol. 112, iss. no. 5, p. 2269-2269 In cavitation experiments with deuterated acetone, statistically significant tritium decay activity above background levels was detected. In addition, evidence for statistically significant neutron emissions near 2.5 MeV was also observed, as would be expected for deuterium-deuterium fusion. Control experiments with normal acetone did not result in tritium activity or neutron emissions. Hydrodynamic shock code simulations supported the observed data and indicated compressed, hot (106-107 K) bubble implosion conditions, as required for thermonuclear fusion reactions. Separate experiments with additional fluids are under way and results appear to support those observed with acetone. Scalability potential to higher yields, as well as evidence for neutron-tritium branching ratios are presented. [link to home.fuse.net] |

Look at these figures of energy and pressures that can be attained. The maximum possible extent of pretensioning prior to onset of cavitation for a properly prepared liquid such as water and mercury can be quite large and can reach close to -1,400 bar (-20,000 psi) and -17,000 bar (-250,000 psi), respectively (2-6). These tensile states are metastable and may be viewed for analogy as placing a spring under intense tension prior to snapping and explosive vaporization. The triggering of metastable fluids gives rise to explosive vaporization and release of stored energy which may be permitted to grow uncontrollably or induced to collapse to produce very high localized pressures and temperatures. This process, if conducted with suitable fluids, can possess the capability of producing enormous energy density (factors of 106 greater than that from CHNO compounds like TNT).

How are the photons generated? They must be generated and emitted through vibration and compression. This is so interesting to me. Quoting: SickScent Light is photons. Photons are energy. Energy is neither created nor destroyed. Smashing a bubble in a medium using sound releases light. Therefore there is energy in the bubble translated into photons. Therefore there is energy in 'empty space.' Therefore there is ether; there is ZERO POINT ENERGY. There is infinite energy all around us in all matter and all gases, etc. Everything is ultimately energy. It is a matter of 'acceleration' that causes mass or energy. By Lorenz's transformations, at light speed any mass would become infinite, time would stop, and length would become infinite OR, ultimately, mass cannot become light -- yet, we know it can by E=mc2. Tremendous energy exists in all mass. Mass is only subluminal energy -- frequencies. Speed of ossiliation = frequency. Slower ossilation = lower frequency. Zero ossilation is incredibly rare to non-existent. Time is infinitely fast (i.e., is quickly expended) in slower frequencies; zero ossilation of the electromagnetic spectrum = infinitely fast time expenditure. The consequences of zero point energy is that in this incredibly slowly ossilating energy (i.e., the mass of the bubble) include rapid time expenditure of the lifespan of the bubble -- it is reassumed into the 'ether soup' rather quickly. Capturing the bubble in a standing wave can speed up its frequency, thus slow down its time, increase its mass, and translate its mass into energy. At a point of extreme compression, the bubble appears to cease to exist -- it does not, however... it is converted into energy, i.e., photons which are rapidly disbursed into the quantum etheric soup. Your intuitive interest in the bubble is, indeed, profound. You have a sense of the existence of quantum-level zero-point energy and its existence all around you. Every Class II civilization has learned this. We know this in my civilization (I'm not from around here). May you continue your studies. I suggest you look to Dr. Thomas Bearden and 'Zero-point Energy' for more information. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7LTag4R77Q |
