A New Approach to Renewable Energy Sources: Bubble Power

Abstract

Nuclear power is one of the conventional methods of generating bulk energy. There are two types of fission and fusion nuclear reactions. They are accompanied by an enormous amount of energy being generated. Ultimately, the energy of the Sun is due to an enormous thermonuclear reaction. The fusion plants ' waste products would be short-lived, declining in a decade or two to non-hazardous levels. It produces more energy than fission, but creating an atmosphere of very high temperature and pressure like that in the Sun is the main problem of fusion reaction. A new step in this field that has developed is' Bubble Power,' the revolutionary new source of energy. It works under the Sonofusion principle. Sonofusion research team from different organizations has joined forces for several years to create Acoustic Fusion Technology Energy Consortium (AFTEC) to promote sonofusion development. It was derived from a sonoluminescence related phenomenon. Sonofusion involves tiny bubbles imploded by sound waves that can fuse the nuclei of hydrogen and one day become a revolutionary new source of energy.
