A Farnsworth fusor like device built using water instead of gas may
work. The item driven by the device would be electron shells, not
the nuclei. The initiating cycle would be a pulse with the inner
spherical screen being negative, the outer containment sphere being
positive. The proportion of the radii of the inner and outer shells
would be smaller than for a regular fusor. The driving pulse would
have to have a very fast rise time. If it works the electron shells
in the mutual center of the two spheres should collapse, forming an
ideal locus for multi-body deflation fusion. A bright dot should
appear (at about 1/9 light speed) in the sphere center. It may not
produce a lot of energy, but it would still be a pretty neat fusion
device. Sonofusion without the sound.
