You're probably right, though I suppose it's possible that the Schaeffer and Griggs systems were "burning" the "explosive" continuously and it needs special conditions to accumulate it. >With my luck, it would have happened to me! It happened to P&F with their cc. of palladium. I'm amazed they never followed that one up. There's nothing so convincing to the layman as a nice big bang. Mizuno might have achieved on too if he had let his disks cook a bit longer. > I do have some more comments and questions about your theory, as I find it > interesting and worth exploring,... I always develop my own ideas on a subject before looking up the previous work (which I am now doing - with the aid of a useful Wiki article on sonoluminescence). Being an engineer I am not inhibited by an obsession to study the literature before thinking about a problem. I like to consider other people's ideas after I have seen the answer myself. > .....but I would like to look up some references > first, and my boss just got back from his vacation, so I expect I will be > very busy here for a while. He looks quite refreshed. Oh no... Good luck. But I'm sure you can manipulate him as effectively as I used to manipulate mine. ;-) Cheers Frank
