Re: ACLU

Gordon, not to start a long off topic thread but I have to give you
kudos for that political rant. I didn't think you had it in you. I was
pleasantly surprised to learn that your laser like (if often
pessimistic) scientific perception carries over to your politics as
well.

I know you may not always respect my hair brained scientific schemes
but I must reluctantly admit that at least politically I agree with
you 100%.

Personally I think the majority of America's problems are no longer
simplistic (left versus right - haves versus have nots) ones but
rather (libertarian versus fascist - corporation versus worker) ones.
I fear America for far too long has forgotten the true meanings of the
words libertarian and fascist.

I am afraid we are about to get a very painful reminder of what the
word fascist means.

As a token to the forum I would also really like to get you overall
opinion of something that I think you know has bothered me for a very
long time.

I want to make it clear that my concern is not limited to that silly
little D2O sonoluminescence problem we have debated endlessly over
these past few years but related rather to a much more general class
of problems made up of spherically (or cylindrically) resonant systems
when they are considered as accelerators/compressors.

I want to make it clear that I don't thinks such systems must be
limited to being possible fusion energy sources. I realize that such
devices MAY never be useful for generating energy. (I do of course
maintain a small glimmer of hope.) Even if they are not useful as a
source of energy I think they may have many other interesting
applications.

The specific issue I want to discuss is what effect **LARGE PHYSICAL
SCALES** will have on such systems? Consider the case where they are
operated at either their primary resonant frequency or at higher
resonant harmonic. Or consider a simpler single pulse system instead
of a resonant one if it makes it easier.

I don't see why either gaseous or a solid cored systems (either simple
homogeneous or an onion skin multi-layered heterogeneous ones) would
necessarily be subject to the same Raleigh-Taylor instability that you
mentioned as what you believe would be the primary limiting factor for
liquid core resonant systems such as the one I described.

Of course everyone else's observations are welcome as well. 

Thank You: Steve Ivy
