Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9516995A1] Employing cavitation as an energy source, excess energy is produced, as well as transmutation of elements. Particularly, deuterium oxide (14) is subjected to cavitation under transient bubble formation conditions in the presence of a metal surface (26), whereby colapse of the bubbles at the metal surface results in the production of heat and the transmutation of the hydrogen isotope. Various metals can be used, as well as various parameters as to temperature, pressure, acoustic energy (12), acoustic frequency, and composition of the reactants, which may be employed to vary the results.
