Ahoy Knuke, > Taleyarkhan has been doing cavitation experiments for over thirty years,
Even so, it was a big mistake, and typical mainstream arrogance, that in all the publicity that Taleyarkhan recieved (riding on the ORNL coat-tails) that he did not credit nor even mention the extraordinary contributions to the field of sonfusion from former vortex contributor Ross Tessien, founder of Impulse Devices, and Dr. Gaitan the chief scientist (nor did he mention Knuke either, but should have !). Caveat: this criticism relates to the first ORNL announcement and they may have issued an addenda, but if so, it didn't make the news. Here is some new and surprising info from them (Tessien's Co); http://tinyurl.com/6f5me Grass Valley CA (SPX) Dec 14, 2004 "Impulse Devices, a developer of sonofusion power (acoustic inertial confinement fusion, AICF), announced Monday the availability of its research reactor to laboratories, universities, power equipment manufacturers and utilities attempting to produce a new alternative energy." Jones They are selling the reactor, which should accelerate R&D but the actual device is a far cry from the Nova reactor pictured in the article.
