For_Immediate_Release:
Last
week, allegations of fraud in bubble fusion
research at Purdue University were reported. On
Google: Purdue Initiates Objective Review Of
'Bubble' Fusion - Science Daily (press release)
- 9 Mar 2006 Researchers Doubtful of Colleague's
Cold Fusion Claims - FOX News - 9 Mar 2006 Probe
into 'bubble fusion' claim - ABC Science Online
- 8 Mar 2006.
But this story has been
told before. The problem is that US science
continues to perpetrate the false physics that
sonoluminescence, better known as SL, can
initiate nuclear fusion because of the high
temperatures in bubble collapse based on
computer calculations over the past decade of SL
researchers Putterman, Lohse, Taleyarkhan, and
others in the SL community. The false physics
may be summarized by incredible claims of
delusion and fantasy. To wit, temperatures
inside the imploding bubbles reach 10 million
degrees and pressures comparable to 1,000
million earth atmospheres at sea level.
Because the SL researchers promoted the
notion that a collapsing bubble produces high
temperatures that initiate fusion, this falsity
is now thought correct by the public, the
tragedy of which is that in the manner of Greek
sophistry, the truth is now denied by false
public opinion in the US scientific community.
To wit, the bubbles do not collapse at high
temperature. By Le Chatelier’s principle, the
collapsing bubbles are only filled with water
vapor that does not increase in temperature and
pressure as the volume vanishes, and except for
some non-equilibrium effects the vapor condenses
without any temperature and pressure change. In
contrast, the SL researchers erroneously assumed
the water vapor is a non-condensable gas in
reaching their high temperature estimates
currently, anywhere from 5,000 to 2 million
degrees.
The problem is the reputations
of SL researchers are at risk if their high
temperature hoax is exposed, as evidenced by the
recent allegations of fraud by Taleyarkhan in
the cover-up of bubble fusion experiments at
Purdue University.
But Taleyarkhan may
only be scapegoat for the larger SL community
that has promoted the same incredible claim of
high temperatures, although not claiming nuclear
fusion as though they are less culpable if they
claim temperatures of 5,000 degrees instead of 2
million degrees. One such claim appeared about
one year ago. See
www.nature.com/nature/journal/v434/n7029/full/nature03361.html
‘Nature’ reported the finding of excited atomic
argon and oxygen ion states in the SL spectra
from argon saturated sulfuric acid. The finding
is significant in that the excited states have
not been previously observed. But the
interpretation of this finding by US science is
that the SL light is caused by high temperature
from the compression heating of bubble vapor.
Extensions to the 18 eV necessary to excite the
oxygen ion suggests compression heating of
bubble vapor produced temperatures of ~ 200,000
degrees.
However, the high temperature
plasma relied upon by US science to explain the
SL light is precluded by Le Chatelier’s
principle that requires the vapor to condense to
liquid without an increase in temperature. Thus,
the bubble collapses near ambient temperature –
not at 200,000 degrees!!!
To explain the
SL light at ambient temperature, cavity QED
induced EM radiation is proposed that produces
VUV radiation in a collapsing bubble having
Planck energies from 1 to 20 eV. Here QED stands
for quantum electrodynamics and EM for
electromagnetic. E.g
www.oocities.org/sonoluminescence2004/SLrev4.PDF
During
collapse, IR radiation from atoms on the bubble
surface is suppressed because it simply can no
longer fit within the bubble. As long as the
water bubble wall is opaque and not transparent,
the suppressed IR is trapped during bubble
collapse. But the resonant frequency of the
bubble is also increasing during the collapse,
and therefore the frequency of the suppressed IR
increases. So when the bubble resonant frequency
coincides with VIS frequencies where water is
transparent, the suppressed IR escapes as SL
light. All this occurs at ambient
temperature.
In Ar saturated water,
cavity QED induced EM radiation produces the
necessary VUV photons at ~ 10 eV to form the
excited Ar* state at ambient temperature. By
three body reaction with pairs of water
neighbors, the Ar* atoms form Ar.OH* excimers
that produce OH*spectral lines upon
decomposition in the shock as the bubble walls
collide. The OH* spectral lines are superposed
on a background SL spectrum that is nothing more
than cavity QED induced EM radiation itself.
Cavity QED induced EM radiation
featuring variable frequency lasing mechanism
producing high energy VUV photons to 20 eV finds
utility by producing photons, electrons, and
ions at ambient temperature, the embodiments of
which are protected by US patent
pending.
