Hi Lou,
Even if the experimenters claimed to achieve 400,000 neutrons per second -
which they said is possible in that sized unit (but they did not claim to
have achieved it themselves) - this represents possibly five orders of
magnitude too few for breakeven. I am not doubting their measurement
I forgot to include the text description link:

The following presentation from India describes (what appears to be) a
successful sonofusion experiment.
The essential apparatus involved are:
- Pyrex flask.
- Deuterated acetone
- Vacuum pump.
This is interesting - especially in that it validates Rusi Taleyarkhan
claims.
Shame on you Purdue !
OTOH as of now - the device is grossly inefficient and the mention of having
a route to self-power is ridiculous. It would take at least 10,000 linked
reactors like this one to get near
Jones,
If the experimental outputs were properly measured, I am not as
pessimistic as you are. Maybe the neutron generator could be removed in a
self-sustained mode, for example. Also, the tritium could be used in an
after-burn fusion reactor. Bubble formation might be increased with
