What accelerating free electrons?
This is a kind of hand waving. The bubble implodes so all momenta point
inwards. Heat will strip up the electrons what adds a further inward
momenta due to photon emission (1/2 of this energy) . Impact speed is
7..10km/s.
Crucial is that the electrons almost make up a cylindrical field
gradient that can align H/D momenta what promotes H*-H*/D*-D*. The final
fusion happens in contact with the target material that acts very
differently, with some being inert at all.
Experiments show that low frequencies 20..50khz cause large bubbles and
large junks of H*/D* produced and > 1.6Mhz leads to single D*-D* fusion
in average.

Hi,

Factually the best update (2009) about sono fusion is given in ::

Quote from the above paper:
"The initially dense cluster is further compressed and cooled by evaporative
surface deuterons of the cluster. These
interact with free electrons forming deuterium atoms that surround the cluster.
These accelerating free electrons
produce an imploding spherical electromagnetic, EM, pulse that squeezes the
cluster to fusion densities in less than a
picosecond."
What accelerating free electrons?
A Deuteron leaving the cluster surface will simply drag an electron from the
surrounding material to itself on the way
out. Why would an EM pulse even form, and even if it did, why would it be
spherical and why would such a spherical EM
shock wave squeeze the remainder of the cluster?
This sounds contrived to me, in an attempt to explain observations with
conventional physics, so that other scientists
will give the paper some credibility.
Furthermore, why not just assume that at least some of the deuterons in the
initial jet have sufficient kinetic energy
to result in fusion upon impact?
