There are neutrino detectors in the northern and southern hemisphere including water Cerenkov detectors and liquid scintillator tanks, one called ANTERES (May 2008) and the other Ice Cube (largest in the world 2005-06) that detect neutrinos through an interaction with the ice in Antarctica, it’s half complete and will be finished by 2011. Also Los Alamos uses VLAND detectors. I think the sensitivity is ~.5 eV flux of neutrino flux background. They mention being able to detect the difference in neutrino production of a nuclear reactor such that if a quantity of plutonium is removed the reactor will give a weaker signature. Fusion devices based on cavitation have temperatures of the sun. If you are harnessing the energy of the sun or stars in a bottle, they are also going to be a significant source of neutrinos, and because neutrinos go right through the planet there is little to keep a detector on even the other side of the planet from detecting these little bits. I would love it if somebody could tell me that the signature from a sonofusion type device was not detectable, but I’m not sure and would want to make sure that any experimentation was well thought out. I think that you must have a license to play with nuclear device’s, but bubble fusion is low energy, non radioactive, clean, still experimental, and contested in the mainstream scientific community, although mathematically possible and they are starting to come around.

These are security measures that were discussed with the Nuclear Research Community to address counter nuclear terrorism issues. I’m just not sure and would love any insight that this community might have.

Does a Focus Fusion device create a significant source of neutrinos (I’m pretty sure does), perhaps cavitation in bubble fusion produces more because of it’s design?

Either way I would love to know what regulations are around these devices and if I’m allowed to be a mad scientist in my basement without getting in trouble. Do others experiment with these freely outside of private/university lab without concern?

Thoughts Ideas? Thanks
