Thanks. I figured that out, once I got the input. Did you see that Kimberly Clark ( who took out patents on “Bubble Fusion” ) has decided to fund research into this area ( production of gamma rays ). They already use cavitation to aid their manufacturing processes and may have some ideas of how to use this new variation to
good advantage.

Dear Old Timer,

I think that there are many unsubstantiated assumptions in the “Big Bang Theory” I think that Hannes Alfven was correct that the cosmos has a “cell like” structure and that as more and more star atlases are done, the cell like nature of the cosmos becomes more apparent. I also think that there is some real problems with “gravity” beyond the problems with the non-agreement with General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. The supposed speed of propagation of the
“gravitational wave” produced by the “graviton”, is being inferred by the deflection of lightwaves from distant galaxies as they pass near Jupiter. Newton assumed an instantaneous speed for gravity, and that probably led to the idea of the aether. “Dark Matter” is an invention to explain away rotational speeds of galaxies,
because the theories won’t compute unless there is a lot more matter out there ( that we can’t observe ). LIGO observatories haven’t detected gravitational waves, despite pretty good funding. The Australians don’t think one built on their island will help matters. Einstein felt that geometry ( Riemannian manifolds ) explained gravity….perhaps the geometry isn’t Riemannian, but Fractal. Every time I look at representations of plasmas I see Fractal type shapes. I lean toward a steady state universe but as Paul Erdos was fond of saying “My brain is open”.

Dear Old Timer,

Thanks for an excellent post. I was reading some other sources and began to suspect that the report in Science Daily was an exaggeration. You have given me some excellent points to research. I just wish I had better mathematical skills ( which I am trying to remedy ) Like you reported, the extent of the reporter’s
error miscommunicates the true results. I suspect that I would like to follow you on FB, as it seems we have similar interest. I happen to be interested in protein folding, and as you stated, this breakthrough will make imaging proteins more feasible for smaller labs. I tend to think that small operations probably engender more innovation, as the researchers must contend with and overcome financial restrictions.

Dear Old Timer,
Do you have a subscription to Nature? Have you read the entire article ? I went to Nature and they didn’t mention cavitation in the press release, just
Gamma-rays from harmonically resonant betatron oscillations in a plasma wake.
I am not sure that I completely understand your overall objections to the report in Science Daily, but even if the magnitude of results is less than the reporter
stated, it still appears that gamma rays were produced. There have been multiple studies that standing sound waves in a fluid that produce non inertial cavitation
that upon collapse of the resulting “bubble” produce a very large shock wave and high temperature. This feature has been used to good effect in commercial hot water heaters. My original suggestion was that the concept of cavitation in a plasma being oscillated by ultra short laser bursts might lead to “ignition” . We know that various techniques are getting close as we better understand the nature of plasma. I know of a professor who has taken ultra slow photographs of what happens ( think pico seconds ) when the “bubble” collapses and he suggests that the phenomena is chaotic and erratic which is to be expected. It suggests that replication of effects will necessarily be affected. Until we better understand the parameters, the effect alone will not be worthwhile. But I think producing gamma rays with a hand held device is an achievement…

I have previously posted to this forum…some time ago ( years)… I also posted to University of Texas to their research program with the US Navy on designing new high speed propellers ( which are particularly vunerable to damage from cavitations ) I think I also posted to a site investigating the possibility that it was cavitation that was causing some of the release of excess heat in Cold Fusion experiments and release of particles synonymous with “fusion”… No body was interested, probably due to negative effects of claimed “over unity” from cavatation water heaters.
