Bubble power

Article Abstract:

By applying sound waves to a deuterium-rich liquid, pressure oscillations are created that implode tiny bubbles filled with deuterium vapor. The bubbles' violent collapse can cause some of the deuterium nuclei to undergo fusion that is known as 'Sonofusion'. It could become a new source of energy in the future.
