Extractions: Sonoluminescence is the process of converting sound into light. There are two types of sonoluminescence, Multiple Bubble Sonoluminesence (MBSL) and Single Bubble Sonoluminescence (SBSL). In order to perform sonoluminescence, a flask full of water or whatever medium is connected to two piezoelectric transducers (used to amplify sound). The amplifiers feed into the transducers which then start emitting a very concentrated amount of sound, usually around 20-35 Khz. At this point in time, bubbles begin to form, dubbed as "cavitation bubbles." Once a cavitation bubble is captured in the middle of the flask, it is under the effects of the amplified sound. At a certain resonance point, the bubble begins to emit flashes of white light.

Extractions: I have not as of yet, see last updated at bottom. But I have seen the previews and was interested enough to visit the CHAIN REACTION WWW SITE WOW!! The stuff you can do with MacroMedia. You will notice I use a lot of their Power Applets on my sites. But I haven't gone all out multimedia. Visit them at http://www.macromedia.com/ First, I am not going to explain sonoluminescence, to get varied descriptions and up to date info do a search on "Open Text Index" , which seems to produce more hits than any of the others. What I would like to discuss is a furnace that burns water. Those of you who don't believe water burns can leave the room now. The rest can read on. For twenty years I've hinted that water burns, I have based this assumption on observation of historical and other events I've witnessed over my lifetime. I have pursued military research into water based weapons systems, human spontaneous combustion, cold fusion and the car that runs on water. There is tons of research into alternate fuels including prototype vehicles using hydrogen conversion. I don't get into the technical stuff, I'm not a scientist or engineer, all I want is a furnace that runs on water, which produces heat and electricity, so I can keep some of my pay check to spend on my family.
Sonoluminescence And Fusion

http://www.21stcenturysciencetech.com/articles/sonolum.html

Extractions: March 5 Evidence showing that nuclear fusion can occur in a beaker of liquid excited by sound waves, has produced a new flurry of press activity reminiscent of that around the 1989 announcement by Pons and Fleischmann that they had achieved fusion in an electrochemical cell. The new evidence, reporting on experiments by a team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is reported in an March 8, 2002 article in Science magazine that was released yesterday. As then, the prevailing popular delusions about what science is dominate the discussion, even by the scientists themselves. As the announcment of the 1989 cold fusion anomaly came under attack from lying establishment physicists, discussion unfortunately, degenerated into practical arguments over whether or not, and how soon, a cold-fusion cell in every basement could replace the gas furnace or oil burner. Whether the results announced in the 8 March Science article, ``Evidence for Nuclear Emissions During Acoustic Cavitation,'' prove sound or not, we are reminded again that scientific progress can result only from the posing and resolution of true paradoxes in the mind of an experimental investigator. The important subject in this case is sonoluminescence, the emission of pulses of blue light from the collapse of air bubbles in a liquid that has been excited by sound waves, first studied in Germany in 1934. How a light wave could be produced by a sound wave was the unsolved paradox. In the Oak Ridge experiments, the hydrogen in acetone (C-3 H-6 O), the principal ingredient in nail polish remover, is replaced by the heavier deuterium isotope. Sound waves are passed through the liquid at the same time as a pulse of high energy neutrons. It is hypothesized that the acoustic bubbles which form, then collapse so fast that not only is light produced, but the deuterium is somehow caused to undergo nuclear fusion. The evidence for this is in the excess of neutrons and tritium, a heavier isotope of hydrogen, detected in the solution. The amounts are very small, however, and the existence of the effect is being challenged.

Extractions: The bubble collapse is so violent that some predicted theoretical accelerations are larger than those associated with a Black Hole! The actual emission mechanism has not yet been explained, although theories are as plentiful as they are diverse. Students begin their exploration by first understanding some basic acoustical principles, such as resonance behavior, quality factors, variation of sound speed with temperature, and the eigenmode structure of a 3-dimensional resonance "cavity." Once these principles are understood there are a large number of experiments that can be performed focusing on the liquid sample preparation and the light emitted from the bubble. The Instrument

Single Bubble Sonoluminescence
Single Bubble sonoluminescence. Abstract This is called multi bubblesonoluminescence (MBSL), and is exhibited by a variety of liquids.
http://www.uberhip.com/people/godber/research/sbsl.html

Extractions: Bubbles of air in a liquid medium can experience a rapid series of expansions and contractions when exposed to high frequency sound at high levels of intensity. If the intensity is within a certain range the bubbles will begin to emit a faint blue light, due to phenomena as of yet unexplained. This is called multi bubble sonoluminescence (MBSL), and is exhibited by a variety of liquids. If the same procedure is repeated in water in which the dissolved gas has been removed, and a bubble is introduced into the system, similar results will be produced. This single bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) allows a closer study of the phenomenon because the isolated bubble can be studied without the interference from other bubbles. The light emitted by this single bubble has proven, in fact, to be a rapid flashing. Each flash coincides with the collapse in the radius of the bubble, and is very consistent in the length between flashes and the duration of each flash. At this point we are merely interested in reproducing SBSL. If it proves that we can do this we may develop our investigation further.

Extractions: This page contains CCD images of a SBSL experimental setup. The apparatus is located in the Advanced Physics Teaching Laboratories, Randall Laboratories, University of Michigan Physics Department . The experiment is being developed this year as a candidate for being added to the laboratory's current list of ~30 experiments available to students. Various investigations of the photon emissions are also planned should the setup prove successful. My collaborator on this experiment (I've been the GSI [TA] for the course during Fall of 1998) is Daisuken Nagai , senior physics student.The course instructors are Professors Roy Clarke and Tim Chupp. SBSL is a recently discovered phenomena [by P. Gaitan, 1988] and is currently a subject of much theoretical and experimental interest. In SBSL, a single, micron-sized gas bubble is levitated (trapped) at the center of a cell containing water or other appropriate liquid by the acoustic pressure of vibrations applied at the resonance frequency of the apparatus. Under certain conditions, the bubble collapses while being violently driven, setting off (launching) a highly spherical shock wave towards the center of the bubble. A phase transition occurs whereby the bubble's gas reaches extremely high temperatures (5000 to 50,000 Kelvin) and is seen to emit bluish-white light in synch with the driving acoustic frequency. The turn-on time of the bubble during its collapse is extremely rapid (less than 50 psec) and it is also extinguished very rapidly in less than 34 psec. The jitter between adjacent pulses is quite small, less that 50 picosecond, which is much smaller than the jitter in the driving acoustic force itself.

Extractions: Sonoluminescence Research at the University of Illinois points to a chemical nature for sonoluminescence, the phenomenon whereby ultrasound is converted into picosecond light pulses via the rapid oscillations of bubbles in a liquid. Earlier this year, scientists at the US Oak Ridge National Laboratory raised the possibility that sonoluminescence might be linked to nuclear fusion ( CERN Courier May ). However, the Illinois team has found that intense sound can compress bubbles in a liquid, increasing their temperature to 10-20,000 K. This is high enough for the gas molecules inside to become ionized, and results in a series of chemical reactions. Studies on a single bubble of air in water revealed reactant products of nitrite ions, hydroxyl radicals and light. The sonic energy largely goes into chemical reactions, with a small fraction resulting in light, leaving precious little to generate nuclear fusion.

http://www.math.duke.edu/~kondic/sl.html

Extractions: Sonoluminescence (SL) is a fascinating effect of the light emission from the gaseous bubbles in liquids. The SL bubbles are driven by ultrasonic field, which makes them oscillate with ultrasonic frequency. If bubbles are driven strongly enough, short bursts of light are emitted once during each period of the sound field. The effect have been known for many years. But, just recently it become possible to produce single bubble SL, and to get much better insight into the effect and its characteristics. We have done a considerable amount of theoretical research in the field of sonoluminescence. The research started around 1992, when only very little was known about SL, and we formulated a few theoretical models with the goal of explaining the effect.

Extractions: Sonoluminescence is the term used to describe the emission of light from a violently collapsing bubble. Sonoluminescence ("light from sound") is the result of extremely nonlinear pulsations of gas/vapor bubbles in liquids when subject to sufficiently high amplitude acoustic pressures. In a single collapse, a bubbles volume can be compressed more than a thousand-fold in the span of less than a microsecond. Even the simplest consideration of the thermodynamics yields pressures on the order of 10,000 ATM. and temperatures of at least 10,000K. On the face of things, it is not surprising that light should be emitted from such an extreme process. Since 1990 (the year that Gaitan discovered light from a single bubble) there has been a tremendous amount of experimental and theoretical research in stable, single-bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL).
