Moving at about the speed of sound, the internal shock waves impacted at the center of the bubbles causing very high compression and accompanying temperatures of about 100 million Kelvin.

If this is cold fusion, I boggle at the idea of hot fusion.

Any idea what the Max temp is on the Sun, I am sure it is way lower than this.....

I think it's called "cold fusion" because you don't need to generate a high temperature to start the process, not that you can hold the reaction in the palm of your hand. It's true that the sonic shock wave generates a very high temperature, but the sonic waves themselves are cold.

One important question is, can a sustained reaction dissipate heat sufficiently to allow it to be contained anywhere?

Shalom.

The wall, the wall. What contains this?

...and accompanying temperatures of about 100 million Kelvin

100 million kelvin sure is a global warming downside!
