- I am in a bit of a hurry, and don't want to take the time to chase the
- quote from Terry's postings. But Terry, you mention temperatures of 100000K
- inside a cavitating bubble, and that this just might give you a bit of fusion.
- Well, on the back of an envelope, I do the E = kT bit, and get pretty close
- to 10 eV for that temperature. If I remember correctly, you need some keV
- for anything to happen, so you might still need some miracles to get fusion
- from this mechanism, fascinating though the phenomenon itself may be.
