http://www.panoramio.com/user/1780803 Sonoluminescence can occur when a sound wave of sufficient intensity induces a gaseous cavity within a liquid to collapse quickly. This cavity may take the form of a pre-existing bubble, or may be generated through a process known as cavitation. Sonoluminescence in the laboratory can be made to be stable, so that a single bubble will expand and collapse over and over again in a periodic fashion, emitting a burst of light each time it collapses. For this to occur, a standing acoustic wave is set up within a liquid, and the bubble will sit at a pressure anti-node of the standing wave. The frequencies of resonance depend on the shape and size of the container in which the bubble is contained.

  • sonoluminescence is not nuclear fusion.

  • If it is, then you can make a quick 200 K.

  • @Copperfoilhat you read my mind

  • Put a bird on it!

  • If you have seen the movie, "Chain Reaction" Starring Keanu Reeves and Morgan Freeman. Then you have heard this story before.

  • Mind raped =o Much Love

  • What do 7 people have against sonoluminescence?

  • isnt it amazin what one can do with energy in our present form to do little hobby projects,I would like to be a fly on the wall when this was made..hmmmm how many pessos are these guys making off this video..not much from what I see....ELK

  • @Iridium237 what website is that ? youtube ? lol

  • @levilisko They spent time to detect neutron instead of to detect helium or higher energy output of experiment, why?

    It's not important who will receive a Nobel Prize for fusion. Only thing important is to found a new energy or we will destroy Earth very soon with fossil fuel.

    I would say that every solution for this problem is right because it leads to final and acceptible solution for all of us. Respect to all scientists.
