The focused fusion site refers to having achieved 1 billion degrees - not 1 million.

Carol,
This year the quest for a sustainable fusion reactor took a leap forward in the discovery that larger test vessels to magnetically suspend plasma for fusion were more effective than smaller vessels.

This sort of contradicts the claims of the focused fusion people who say smaller is better.

In the 80's I had several friends who worked for the University of Rochester laser fusion lab. They would use enormous amounts of electricity in a split second to blast, compress and fuse a few atoms. To my knowledge this technique has still not achieved any sustainable results.

I have never invented a field of science or discovered a new phenomenon but I have been able to take off the shelf parts and reassemble them for new purposes.

Perhaps you recall Burkes book 'Connections' that shows how most inventions are a reassembly process and almost never a linear process.

That is why I believe that cheap production of hydrogen gas is possible using the common ultrasonic devices that chemistry labs currently use to speed up / catalyze chemical reactions.
Coupling these devices with my specific acoustic lens chamber will "cold boil" / cavitate pure water and seperate H from O more efficiently and thereby provide cheap H for use in the fuel cells of cars, buses, trucks and possibly trains and ships.

I found there were more nay sayers to my concept of cheaper H production here than there was to focused fusion. I would have thought that a sleek website that concludes with asking for your money would have generated more skepticism than it did.
