II .3.5 Cavitation involving bubble formation
Stringham and George [69](E-Quest, US) have been perfecting a method based on generating bubbles in D2O using an intense acoustic field. When these bubbles collapse against a metal surface, they inject deuterium and oxygen ions into the metal as a high-temperature plasma. The deuterium diffuses away from the surface while the oxygen remains trapped and forms a colored oxide. Anomalous behavior is immediate. Silver and palladium are especially good producers of anomalous energy, helium, and various transmutation products. The fact that many other metals produce no unusual results indicates absence of reactions associated with sonoluminessence within the bubbles. Unfortunately, details of the process and the results are not available to the public although a general description can be found in Infinite Energy magazine.[70] This is one of the few methods having high reproducibility and producing significant amounts of energy and nuclear products. People interested in the method can obtain more information by contacting the inventors.
A related approach has been developed by Griggs[71]. In this case, bubbles are generated by a perforated rotor which is rotated within normal water by a powerful motor. Steam is produced and the bubbles collapse against aluminum and steel. Several independent tests of the method have all found more energy produced by the device than used to rotate the rotor. Nevertheless, the company sells the units only as a way to obtain efficient, maintenance-free energy conversion.
Yes, and I may be Queen of the May, too.
The good news is that if it's like the one in the Delorean, you'll have roughly 90,000,000 horsepower on tap. Talk about smokin' the baloneys !
