I am in a bit of a hurry, and don't want to take the time to chase the quote from Terry's postings. But Terry, you mention temperatures of 100000K inside a cavitating bubble, and that this just might give you a bit of fusion. Well, on the back of an envelope, I do the E = kT bit, and get pretty close to 10 eV for that temperature. If I remember correctly, you need some keV for anything to happen, so you might still need some miracles to get fusion from this mechanism, fascinating though the phenomenon itself may be. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dieter Britz alias britz@kemi.aau.dk Kemisk Institut, Aarhus Universitet, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
