"We found out that when comet-like streamers of bubbles formed the reactions would stop. Their irregular shape diminishes the bubbles' ability to compress the enclosed gas and subsequently prevents fusion reactions from occurring." I hate it when that happens!

Ho-hum. I used to create Bubble Fusion when my mom gave me a bath.

Fascinating - always thought that there was substance tothe first reports of coldfusion.
The big question is can it be commercialized

Can they scale it up to power a home?
To: Arkie2
Replication, an important step towards mainstream acceptance. I wonder if it's easily scalable and/or can be used for space propulsion?

The Physicists I know have widely panned this entire branch of research as a waste of resources. I find it extremely difficult to accept that meaningful fusion on an scale useful as a energy source can be achieved with this approach, much less that fusion is even occurring at all.

Now that is just perfect! A couple of Boilermakers inventing Bubble Fusion. Kinda like back to the future.

Nobody did bubbles like Lawrence Welk.

On a more series note, I say:
"Go for it you whacky Physicists!"
I spent the first two years in college on that route, but I excaped (sic) to EE, LOL.
I do remember following that whole Cold Fusion thing, so I'll withhold my opinion.

Ya know, wouldn't it be neat to have a desktop Nuclear Reactor to power my computer, monitor, and printer?
To: Arkie2
Well, I think the *real* question is can they do it
WITHOUT fingernail polish remover???
THEN they'd have something!
