"The results were staggering, and Putterman reported results last year demonstrating that the plasma temperature he was able to measure was around 1 million degrees Celsius. Putterman's device wasn't able to drive fusion reactions because it wasn't hot enough." However as noted in my other post, this sort of temperature is just fine for creating O++. (BTW acetone contains an Oxygen atom, and it's double bond to carbon may make it particularly susceptible to becoming O++ is a high temperature environment.)
