RE: [Vo]:helicopter electrostatic glow

Good point. The analogy was to what is called "suction cavitation" which can happen with vacuum pumps. However, there must still be a liquid vapor present for that to happen. But this is in dry desert, correct ? There isn't enough water vapor for "suction cavitation" unless the turbulence of the b

RE: [Vo]:helicopter electrostatic glow

The sound level is certainly intense from helicopter blades... not ultrasonic, but sonoluminescence does not demand ultrasound. Yellow is a characteristic color of salinity and many sandy deserts are highly saline. Instead of sand, per se, the emission could be caused by cavitation in saline air.
