Bubble Fusion Bubbles Up Again http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/energy/nuclear/bubble-fusion-bubbles-up-again
Comments on Letter (Phys. Rev. L, Vol.89, No. 10,2002) by D. Shapira and M. Saltmarsh -- Rusi P. Taleyarkhan, Colin D. West, JaeSeon Cho, Richard T. Lahey ... This article focuses on correcting several factual errors and critiques in the previously published Letter in Phys. Rev. L, Vol. 89, No. 10, 2022, by D. Shapira and M. Saltmarsh. The authors of the Letter did not perform their own "independent" experiments as claimed; they did not perform control experiments with normal acetone; and, neither did they monitor for tritium. It their Letter, the authors (D. Shapira and M. Saltmarsh) failed to disclose that the data they collected actually confirmed our claims of having observed statistically significant nuclear emissions in chilled, cavitated deuterated acetone. http://arxiv.org/abs/1307.3217 Cavitation-Induced Fusion: Proof of Concept -- Max I. Fomitchev-Zamilov (Submitted on 9 Sep 2012) Cavitation-induced fusion (also known as bubble fusion or sonofusion) has been a topic of much debate and controversy and is generally (albeit incorrectly) perceived as unworkable. In this paper we present the theoretical foundations of cavitation-induced fusion and summarize the experimental results of the research conducted in the past 20 years. Based on the systematic study of all available data we conclude that the cavitation-induced fusion is feasible, doable, and can be used for commercial power generation. We present the results of our own research and disclose a commercial reactor prototype. http://arxiv.org/abs/1209.2407 On the prospects of bubble cavitation-induced fusion http://iopscience.iop.org/1063-7869/56/4/423
