Evidence for nuclear emissions during acoustic cavitation.

Evidence for nuclear emissions during acoustic cavitation revisited

This paper extends the experimental and numerical results presented previously and addresses the major criticisms raised. In addition, the most recent results are discussed. In acoustic cavitation experiments with chilled ( 0 8C) deuterated acetone (C3D6O), the production of tritium and 2.45 MeV neutrons [which are characteristic of deuterium-deuterium (D–D) fusion] was observed during vapour b...

Acoustic Emissions to Measure Drought-Induced Cavitation in Plants

Acoustic emissions are frequently used in material sciences and engineering applications for structural health monitoring. It is known that plants also emit acoustic emissions, and their application in plant sciences is rapidly increasing, especially to investigate drought-induced plant stress. Vulnerability to drought-induced cavitation is a key trait of plant water relations, and contains val...

Additional evidence of nuclear emissions during acoustic cavitation.

Time spectra of neutron and sonoluminescence emissions were measured in cavitation experiments with chilled deuterated acetone. Statistically significant neutron and gamma ray emissions were measured with a calibrated liquid-scintillation detector, and sonoluminescence emissions were measured with a photomultiplier tube. The neutron and sonoluminescence emissions were found to be time correlate...

Nuclear emissions during self-nucleated acoustic cavitation.

A unique, new stand-alone acoustic inertial confinement nuclear fusion test device was successfully tested. Experiments using four different liquid types were conducted in which bubbles were self-nucleated without the use of external neutrons. Four independent detection systems were used (i.e., a neutron track plastic detector to provide unambiguous visible records for fast neutrons, a detector...
