In the previous post in this thread I neglected to
consider the possible effect of hysteresis or
ratchetting of the sonoluminescent process.
Such a process is illustrated in the modified
"Denominator change" table below.

It would mean that the water (or acetone) is left in an
altered state. I suppose one might describe such water
as hydrinated water by analogy with hydrino formation.
It would be interesting to carefully examine water which
has been subjected to long term sonoluminescent
cavitation to see whether it exhibited any different
properties from a control specimen.
Conceivably, in the limit, one could hydrinate all the
water in the apparatus. If it proved possible to trigger
the release of the hydrinated energy in a chain reaction
one would effectively have a high explosive water bomb.
