Researchers Report Bubble Fusion Results Replicated

Physical Review E publishes paper on fusion experiment conducted with upgraded measurement system

TROY, N.Y. — Physical Review E has announced the publication of an article by a team of researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Purdue University, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and the Russian Academy of Science (RAS) stating that they have replicated and extended previous experimental results that indicated the occurrence of nuclear fusion using a novel approach for plasma confinement.

This approach, called bubble fusion, and the new experimental results are being published in an extensively peer-reviewed article titled “Additional Evidence of Nuclear Emissions During Acoustic Cavitation,” which is scheduled to be posted on Physical Review E’s Web site and published in its journal this month.

The research team used a standing ultras! onic wave to help form and then implode the cavitation bubbles of deuterated acetone vapor. The oscillating sound waves caused the bubbles to expand and then violently collapse, creating strong compression shock waves around and inside the bubbles. Moving at about the speed of sound, the internal shock waves impacted at the center of the bubbles causing very high compression and accompanying temperatures of about 100 million Kelvin.

Sonofusion, great stuff.
 
This reminds me of why I found vortex in the first place... 6? years ago.  I had (and still have) a concept for sonic induced fusion which is based on sonofusion, but differs greatly.
 
I propose a spherical resonance chamber filled with gaseous fuel (Probably start with Deuterium gas) the inner surface of this chamber is composed of actuated plates which move in sync to produce a spherical compression wave, collapsing towards the center.
 
This should duplicate on a larger scale the collapsing bubble of sonofusion, creating a controlled fusion reaction at the center.  I ran numbers on this, but I can't find them right now, I'll post them later.
 
The first time I posted this concept to vortex, the consensus seemed to be that it simply was not possible for a gas to compress that much, but I'd say that sonofusion provides a convincing counterargument.
