Abstract:
Experimental and theoretical work on cavitation-induced fusion reactions in bubbles is critically analyzed. It is shown that the existing data are internally inconsistent. The yield of hypothetical thermonuclear neutrons is found to be at least three orders of magnitude overestimated and therefore inconsistent with the tritium yield observed. A simple estimate shows that any power system using the principle discussed is unfeasible.
