Hi Sean, et al:

One has to wonder if modern scientists are executing experiments involving
such rare materials, then how did they miss Keely's water frequency (or did
they?)

The "SonoFusion" patent I referred to (US patent # 4,333,796) uses a liquid
metal such as lithium, or alloys of lithium and beryllium as the fluid, and
seeds this fluid with either deuterium, or a mixture of deuterium and
tritium. (both heavy isotopes of hydrogen)

And if you go to the IBM intellectual property site
http://www.patents.ibm.com/
and search for this patent number, you can read the entire patent. This
patent seems to use a cylindrical container shape with multiple ultrasonic
transducers.

And I stated a slight mistake in my previous message, in that I said this
patent predates the "discovery" of sonoluminescence. In actual fact I
believe the effect of sonoluminescence has been known for many years (70?).
What i meant to say was predates the popular, recent "discovery" and
publication of the phenomenon. (in the late '80's)

Regarding sonoluminescence - the container shape is not necessarily
spherical, it can be cylindrical, or other. And the container is typically
made of borosilicate glass (Pyrex), or polycarbonate (Lexan), to be able to
see/detect the light.

See the many links on sonoluminescence at:

My strong suspicion on normal sonoluminescence is that the light, etc., may
be manifestations of a release of the Primary Energy which I discuss on my
web site. This PE (Primary Energy) is "masked" by the inert gas atoms
(helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon).

I noticed when the announcements were first made (I read in Scientific
American) that the light production seemed to be greatest with "seeding" of
one or more of the inert gases into the water. Thus, I suspected that the
high temps and pressures in the collapsing bubbles, may be causing the PE to
be released. (mine, and others intuitive or "gut feeling" is that an
unmasking of PE would be accompanied by a flash of a bluish light - so I sure
sat up a took notice when i first read about sonoluminescence!)

See the following paper in Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 1359 (1997)

>>Sonoluminescing air bubbles rectify argon

The dynamics of single bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) strongly depends on the
percentage of inert gas within the bubble. We propose a theory for this
dependence, based on a combination of principles from sonochemistry and
hydrodynamic stability. The nitrogen and oxygen dissociation and subsequent
reaction to water soluble gases implies that strongly forced air bubbles
eventually consist of pure argon. Thus it is the partial argon (or any other
inert gas) pressure which is relevant for stability. The theory provides
quantitative explanations for many aspects of SBSL.

My site concerning the PE, as yet very unfinished: (much more to come when I
can free up some time)

As to the concept of Keely's water dissociation and ultrasonic work with
water - I wonder if the Griggs highly efficient heating device, and many
other interesting phenomenon using cavitation with high freq. sound, are
actually harnessing what Keely described? ( in part, or closely related)

Many effects using sonochemistry etc., seem to provide results which are at
odds with conventional thinking - physics - chemistry - etc.???
