After mentioning the new website of Russ George and his company Saturna, I
was left wondering whatever happened to Roger Stringham, his ex-partner in
the early "sonofusion" experiments. Well, shazzam, I just saw the program of
a special 2 hours cold fusion session (prudently titled "Palladium-Deuteron
session") at the American Physics Society meeting in Minneapolis, March
20th. (Incidentally, a sign that cold fusion is slowly gaining some
acceptance in mainstream science ?). Stringham will be there with his latest
research. And it turns out that he, too, has started a company.
Cavitation Micro Accelerator and Anomalous Heat
R.S. Stringham (First Gate Energies, 2166 Old Middlefield Way, Mountain View,
CA 94043)
ABSTRACT
Bubbles collapsing in acoustic fields are not always destructive. The
collapse process is understood until its last moments when bubble contents
reach high densities, temperatures, and photon emission.
Near the end of its adiabatic collapse, a bubble in an acoustic field
produces a jet.
If the acoustic amplitude is large, the jet will accelerate through the
bubble and
self-destruct in one acoustic cycle. The dissociated bubble contents, which
make up the jet, are accelerated at velocities of several Mach into either
surfaces or liquid D_2O. In this case the surfaces consist of metal foils
suspended in D_2O in a reactor.
The steady-state calorimetry of the acoustic reactor and the acoustic power
supply
show the production of anomalous heat, Q(x), above that of the input power. The
sources of Q(x) are unique nuclear events which result from jet acceleration of
the deuteron high density plasma into a metal lattice. The time frame for these
events is in pico-seconds. These events produce no measurable long range
radiation.
