This web site - 'Sparkspin' - was launched in 2001, to pose the hypothetical question:- "What would be the result if the strange phenomenon of Sonoluminescence could be perfectly chained, as a physical string of closely-spaced "S.L." bubble-collapse events?" Please engage brain...
Here also is some of the art, music and guitar building of the author. May 2005 - Steve Acworth

click link to BBC page showed that Sonoluminescence probably doesn't involve the fusion process (because there is no detectable neutron emission) but I have left this site as written and developed to show the thinking process. Nobody truly understands the mechanism involved within the single-bubble sonoluminescence collapse event any more than anybody truly understands Quantum (which in itself is completely counter-intuitive but we use it all of the time in our everyday lives). The hypothesis as illustrated within these pages suggests that it might be possible to "drive" sonoluminescence, to usefully extract power from the phenomenon without the need to know the exact nature of its operation. Here described is a hand-held device with an all-mechanical manual control linkage (no digital electronics involved) assembly sketched here with schematics and animations.
