US Science continues to promote fraud of high temperatures in bubble fusion

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 10, 2005 --

The recent �Nature� article (Vol. 434, pp. 52-55, 3 March 2005) reported the finding of excited atomic argon and oxygen ion states in the sonoluminescence (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.

During collapse, cavity QED induced EM radiation takes the form of resonant VUV photons of increasing frequency that stand across and penetrate the QED cavity surfaces. But EM radiation having a frequency lower than the resonant frequency of the QED cavity is suppressed. Suppressed EM radiation is energy loss that is conserved by the energy gain by the resonant VUV photons.

The QED process begins with the up-conversion of far IR radiation from the thermal kT energy of the water molecules at ambient temperature to near IR photons, and then conversion of near IR radiation to visible photons, and so forth to high energy photons in the VUV.

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.

Similar to water, cavity QED induced EM radiation in Ar saturated sulfuric acid is produced from 1 to 20 eV. The Ar.OH* excimers form as in water, but unlike water, the acid down to 200 nm and below is transparent, and therefore the oxygen ion is excited at 18 eV by cavity QED induced EM radiation. But the temperature of the acid remains at ambient.

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.
