An Experiment to Save The World
In March 2002, the scientific world was rocked by some astonishing news: a distinguished US government scientist claimed he had made nuclear fusion out of sound waves in his laboratory. Rusi Taleyarkhan’s breakthrough was such important news because nuclear fusion is one of the most difficult scientific processes, and also one of the most coveted. It could solve all of our energy problems for ever. In principle, sufficient fuel exists on earth to provide clean, pollution-free energy for billions of people for millions of years.
To make it happen, individual atoms must be slammed into each other with enough energy to make them fuse together, something that requires temperatures found only in the core of stars like our Sun – over 10 million Kelvin. The idea that these temperatures had been reached in a small scale laboratory using only soundwaves took many scientists by surprise. To them, fusion projects were huge multibillion-pound, intergovernmental schemes with the far off goal of producing energy in several decades time.
Taleyarkhan’s fusion breakthrough was based on a little-understood process called sonoluminescence. It’s a process that magically transforms sound waves into flashes of light, focusing the sound energy into a tiny flickering hot spot inside a bubble. It’s been called the star in a jar. The star in a jar effortlessly reaches temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees, hotter than the surface of the sun. Many scientists had wondered if the core of the bubble was even hotter – maybe even as hot as the core of the sun. If so, fusion would happen there. But until Taleyarkhan, no one had been able to either prove it or disprove it. (Excerpt from docuwiki.net)

This Doc seams sort of full of crap, Taleyarkhan’s fusion breakthrough might have a actually been a success, and the team that tried to “recreate” his experiment was just a bunch, of skeptics,who didn’t even follow everything to “t”. It’s all a cover up so that money can continue to made.

Of course the machines cannot solve all problems and are not fully capable of doing all experiments.
Humans are skeptics ,they claim if one scientist cannot done the experiment so it’s not possible as done by Talleyrand.
If this was finally done many scientists would loose jobs and gas companies would be out of business -that’s why humans make stupid excuses to pour more money into the research.
He may not provide all details cause the experiments go by trial and error and sometimes is done.

I would not have watched this program if I had known in advance that the experiments conducted disproved the original. I feel as if my time was wasted.

A: This is by the BBC. (one of the 5 media giants) B: When experiment one was “checked”, it was done by an Department of Eneregy member in the U.S. C: When it was “checked again”, it was done with a member of The Department of Energy for the U.K… AND the agent from the U.K. Gov. SWITCHED EQUIPTMENT! D:The data was, quote,”sent to the U.K. to insure impartiality”…what does that mean? The people of the U.K.? NO. A Collage? NO, they would have said the name. The U.K. Government? YES! Consider…if the experiment WAS a succes, as the good Doc said, then every country and government on the planet would have only two choices: 1) Tear itself apart and re-build itself from the ground up. OR 2)Steal the data, discredit the good Doc. publicly, and wait until such a time as is seen fit to use the “Holy Grail of Science” to whatever end is seen fit. Wich will it be?

Stanley Meyer done this many years ago, there is patents for it all over the world. By using high frequency electrolyse of water. every object have critical resonant frequency where if is amplified enough object will break down on molecular bases. Smaller object is higher frequency needed. Thanks to days electronics we can reach them around 20kHz pulse and break down H2O to hydro-oxygen gas useful as fuel. Question is who could make money on it nobody
)))) it’s FREE energy from 5V,0.3A,20kHz = 1 litre of gas /minute = 0.7litre of Natural 95 !!!
