Energy is the capacity of a physical system to perform work. Energy exists in several forms such as heat, kinetic or mechanical energy, light, potential energy, electrical, or other forms. Rapid innovations are taking place in the field of energy production. In 2002, nuclear engineers Rusi P. Taleyarkhan of Purdue University and Richard T. Lahey Jr. of Rensselaer polytechnic institute have produced thermonuclear fusion by imploding tiny deuterium-rich gas bubbles with sound waves and neutrons. Bubble Power is the revolutionary new energy source. It is a method of generating energy. It works under the principle of sonofusion which is technically known as acoustic inertial confinement fusion. It is derived from a related phenomenon known as sonoluminescence, where a source of sound which is attached to a liquid-filled flask sends pressure waves through the fluid and exiting the motion of tiny gas bubbles. The bubbles periodically grow and collapse due to extreme temperatures inside the bubble thus producing visible flashes of light that last less than 50 picoseconds.
