_________________________________________________________________
Sonoluminescence is probably one of the coolest phenomena you'll come across and involves conditions that over a fraction of a millisecond swing from -269C degrees to upwards of 10000C. By trapping a bubble with ultrasound you can force it to expand and then suddenly contract and in the moment of peak compression out comes a flash of light. In this video we explore how you can easily recreate this effect with very minimal hardware, and some of the other times this effects shows up, like when a mantis shrimp punches things.

I’ve been having that struggle with thought mapping. Mind Maps are well established, but they’re strictly hierarchical-paltry compared to a colored graph (in the nodes (dots) and edges (connections) sense). The closest tool to what I want is based on a concept called “The Semantic Web”, but every tool built assumes a particular use case that involves algorithmic usability, AI, communication, and plaintext definitions. I finally found the *one* word that expresses what I mean to map, and boy is it ever obscure: “episememe”, referring to *meaning*, rather than actual words that signify meaning. And even *episememe* was created for use in linguistic fields. *EDIT*: crap, it’s not called an episememe. Man this is difficult.

A small hint: I was playing with ultrasound several years ago, when researching on how bats navigate. By accident, I had generated WAY to much ultrasound volume, which I did not hear, but deafened me temporarily above 400 Hz, and a hearing reduction above 4000 Hz which persisted quite a long time (into months) afterwards. So be careful with sound you can´t hear ;-) Regards PS. They tried to use this process for nuclear fusion! Btw I LOVED the Mount Stupid quote, it´s the reason I always corroborate as much source material as possible... And Gun Ho! Usually you find that a lot has simply been Copy-pasted, among other things. And by the way: don´t use an iron core for a 4 millihenry coil, that thing´s lossy as hell, Just find a ferrite rod from an old AM radio. Also feed the output from the amplifier to a tap on the coil, so the transducer and coil form a parallel circuit, be careful, because than you´ll get the nasty side-effect I had after a while lol.

Deafened you above 400 Hz and hearing reduction above 4000 Hz? I assume there's a typo of some kind there?

@@jamesdavis3851 No, there´s not I think? It´s been almost 10 years since that accident now, or any other tinkering with ultrasonics, now I realize the power (and dangers) these things can have and things got better. There is (was) a sharp reduction to near-zero above 4000 Hertz, and a good reduction down to 400 Hz too. It was a roughly 22 kHz square-wave with a pulse-frequency of 5-6 Hz, should figure that out with a metronome and stopwatch, so low-ultrasonic. The deafening/ringing ears was temporarily he, lasted a few days ;-) The reduction in highs however appears to be rather permanent... Thank God the PRF was so low I only got one well-focused sound pulse into my ears. If it had been prolonged exposure, you´d probably be permanently deaf.

[@nu1x]

Always, always use at least proper ear plugs when dealing with high sound frequencies, simple ear plugs are at least quite effective at cutting the highs off, and most importantly, removing destructive direct pressure to the eardrums outright.

I don’t think that will work, though, because the glow is very dim and you need a lot of light for slow-mo (remember how he said you need a long exposure?)

[@KohuGaly]

@@GRBtutorials That can be fixed if you use stroboscopic effect and long exposure. However, that requires extremely precise positioning of the bubble. Alternatively, you may use laser aimed almost at a photosensor to measure both the size of the bubble (the bubble difracts the laser more, the larger it is) and timing of the flash (since the sensor will simultaneusly pick up both).

[@NullByte_-mm4dn]

@@GRBtutorials one can use polarised/monochromatic light source for the camera, and then some very sensitive single sensor behind a polariser/filter to detect the light from the bubble. Idk if there are such sensors, but i guess it would still be better than a camera matrix if you could focus most of the light on that single sensor.

[@GRBtutorials]

NullByte4532 _ Except that it’s the bubble itself that emits light, so that’s out of the question. Certainly, a sensitive and fast sensor would work, and there are photomultipliers (both in a tube and in silicon) that can even detect single photons, though they’re quite expensive in unit quantities (about $80 each for SiPM).

[@NullByte_-mm4dn]

@@GRBtutorials no, wait. I meant using another light source to provide enough light for a high speed camera, and then filter out that light, allowing only the light emitted by the bubble to reach the photomultiplier or whatever. So use the camera to monitor the size of the bubble and the photomultiplier to time when the light is emitted. Or did i misunderstand what you wrote?

Why not just use a chamber of an atmosphere with a different gas composition? Cody'sLab, did this in his videos of Burning Propane In Pure Oxygen and Burning Oxygen In Propane Atmosphere. The dropper would have to be remotely controlled, though. But this would allow you to test any gasses, as long as you have a source for those gasses. I'd be curious to see the interaction between various gasses and liquids, what color would an Argon bubble produce with an NaCl solution, or a Neon bubble in the glycerin solution?

[@HMan2828]

Could you not just inject a bubble of gas with a syringe and a long tiny needle? If you start the transducer first you should be able to bring the needle tip at the focal point and inject a bubble of gas right there. Could also probably make the bubble a bit bigger, if you also raise the amplitude of your signal. I have a feeling a larger bottle with a lower resonant frequency will be much better at containing the bubble at the focal point, because lower frequency means more energy... This may also be why it didn't work for you with sulphuric acid. It has a much higher molecular weight than water, and it has a higher viscosity, therefore my intuition is that you will need a resonant chamber with a larger volume to achieve a lower standing wave frequency at the focal point.

23:00 SBSL spectra clearly states the acid has been regassed with Xe and Ar. These are Noble gases as you know, and they do not abandon their charges without putting up a spectacular fight. No matter the pressures they have to overcome, the Nobles stay loyal. Did you offer a bribe? Sometimes that works.

From a safe distance, it would be great to see a sonoluminescence test performed with nitromethane as the test liquid.

[@travislee6032]

Interesting, it makes me wonder if it has to be water for it to be possible. Lot of different types of liquid to try this experiment with. Perhaps a specific liquid could have such an effect that a new power source is stumbled upon?

[@Velvetspoonful]

@@travislee6032 Well why not. If there's a inconsequential chemical reaction, and the combined input efforts (frequency generations + mechanical energies + chemical reactions) are inferior to that bubble's output... Which would, from an ordinary expectation be the generated temperature, well, that'd be it. Maybe... Of course the neat part of this system is that it seems most of this, well... _boils_ ... down to how it seems to depend on hitting the right frequency with the right matter. Containers, materials contained, confined bubble circumference and resonance dispositions of each part could matter - it's actually bloody admirable he both devoted himself and managed to obtain such results. We kinda ignore the problem of amplitude when we think about frequency, because we have this idea that "balance", and fine tuning can bypass the necessity of energy demand tot he cause of generating a powerful signal, but I mean, I, for one, do not know the extent to which sympathetic harmonic resonance can prevail in preserving or propagating oscillations, since it finally depends on mechanical dipositions of materials - and, to capture the output energy - also on how to exploit such phenomenons optimally. It's like a bee's nest isn't it. You just discover it and notice a couple of bees flying around, and you look closer, and there's a whole new horde of questions just waiting to sting.

[@zynan4427]

@@Velvetspoonful but then theres the first law of thermodynamics, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. You would just be converting electricity into sound, then light, then eventually back to electricity. Either you'd be left with the same amount of electricity or, more likely, you'd end up losing some during conversions (ie. Not able to fully capture all the light generated).

[@purduephotog]

@@Velvetspoonful There is or was some hope that this may be a way of creating nitrates from nitrogen, instead of very high temperatures and pressures. The paper, unfortunately, may tend to disprove that.

[@Velvetspoonful]

​@@purduephotog Well it is a very highly specific kind of phenomenon, it'd be a shame there was nothing constructive to make of it though. Like an engine of some kind or something - I mean, I kind of imagine that it does look like a near soft way to introduce rather peculiar reactions. I was even thinking about the plasma supposedly held in place by a magnetic field in the experiment fusion reactors. And there's this other factor that the accoustics can be modulated - that's kind of rich in potential as well. Sound, or frequencies rely on matter to travel, and are affected differently by what kind of matter they ride - couple of years ago I was wondering if you could build underwater sound systems by having some water proof apparatus playing music at a speed compensating for the difference in how much faster sound propagates in water. That could probably make some sounds audible to soaked up eardrums. But considering all these different factors, it'd be a shame nothing remarkable would trickle from the phenomenon.

[@kristimcgowandarkoscellard3126]

Has anyone ever considered the reason it’s called a Star in a jar, is because that is exactly what it is???? Maybe we live in an electric universe not a gravitational one???? Maybe space isn’t exactly what we think it is and is more akin to a liquid than an empty perfect vacuum? And maybe the reason you were able to create this amazing spectacular star in a jar is because with the electric universe, the plasma & electricity are scalable? It can be as big as our sun, or in a little glass jar you created!!!!! Maybe????🤔😱 Amazing fantastic video! Cheers

[@aaabeverages7152]

Kristi McGowan/ Darko’s Cellar Door see y/t. Thunderbolt Project Wal Thornhill, Engineer Electric Universe

[@Kriskogames]

I believe so! Some speculate that gravity is magnetism which in turn can explain in new depths how gravity forms.

[@kristimcgowandarkoscellard3126]

AAA Beverages : thank you 😊, I am subscribed to Thunderbolts Project. They have made tons of predictions which have been proven accurate while NASA is left scratching their heads! The electric universe model explains things that a gravity based universe claims is a “mystery”! And with the electric universe you don’t need magical imaginary things like “dark mater”, “dark energy”, and my favorite “dark flow”! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cheers

[@MisterHouu]

First and foremost dark matter isn't imaginary or magical. It's an arbitrary term used to describe things like the ambiguity underlying galactic rotation curves, for instance. It's a way to say "we don't understand why this is happening" while still accounting for the fact that it is happening, as a sort of place holder. It just so happens that everything tends to make sense by making the assumption of mass we cannot directly observe outside of these phenomenons. Secondly I would like to point out that the electric universe theory really doesn't remove the need for dark matter. It actually, not unlike many alternative theories, creates more problems than it solves while attempting to conquer frontier problems. For example, mainstream models are able to accurately predict elemental abundances in our universe. This is something that cannot be done without the assumption of dark matter, and a problem that the electric universe community has remained silent on. Acoustic peaks are another topic that are well explained by mainstream theories, but lack an explanation by the electric universe community. Electric universe falls flat when it comes to quantitative discussions, where as current theories are supported by sound predictions and mathematics. Not to mention that the electric universe theory almost completely ignores current particle physics. Just to be clear this isn't meant to influence anyone already in this thread, but rather to serve as a PSA to folks who haven't had much exposure to cosmology or physics and give them a starting point to discovering why the current model is what it is.
