Son-of-a-what?
So how long until we have a fusion coffemaker?
Someone please post a link to the picture of Dr. Brown's "Mr. Fusion" from Back to the Future....
BFLR = bump for later reading
They appear to be using cavitation as a surrogate marker for fusion. Well, good luck to them - it sounds like quite cheap research and you never know what the spinoffs might be, even if (as seems likely) Cold Fusion is a dream.
""Sonofusion is thermonuclear fusion and is scalable," said Yiban Xu, who performed the experiment..."
cavitation? sonofusion?
Glad he's on our side.
How big and how heavy was the aparatus in which they created fusion?
Secondly, how much heat was generated by the apparatus?
Cavitation effects were proposed at the time as an explanation for the results obtained by Pons and Fleischman 15 years ago. All those bubbles on the electrodes.
Bubble Fusion takes next hurdle
Will it work in a Delorean?
How about an ethanol powered fusion generator? 99% free energy.
It is good to read that they used a well-designed experiment with a control to compare results. You have one deuterated acetone beaker and one acetone beaker. One produces high energy neutons and tritium and the other does not. The only difference is deuterium.
It seems that they did not rush to make news but started the experiments in 2002 and have changed researchers along the way, so there is less risk of data forgery. And then published in a peer-review journal.
Whether cold fusion is possible or not, I don't know. But it's evident that something interesting is going on, and it's also evident that the original cold fusion announcement was shot down without sufficient evidence to dismiss it.
The whole business seems extremely unlikely. But ground breaking new discoveries in science usually seem extremely unlikely, until the establishment has its faces well rubbed into the evidence.
Sounds like Hardrock-o-fusion to me.. which has been generating incredibly primitive sound energy for decades.. and many doped with Opiaterium are generating it..
Dangerous, look what it did to Ozzy Osborn.. total burn out.. The dude has been cavitating for years to imaginary drummers.. Effected his whole family..

You said butt,
hehheh heh hehhehheh
butt...........
In unrelated news, scientists have yet to explain how Lake Michigan's shoreline moved so far south over night.
But criticism followed. When Taleyarkhan replied with a follow-up experiment to address those concerns, the reaction was muted.
Oh boy, WHICH REACTION??
Hehehe.
The editor was asleep at the wheel. Tritium is a hydrogen isotope that decays into helium-3.
