Could sonoluminescence (bombarding air bubbles in liquid with ultrasonic waves 
until they implode, creating millions of degrees of heat) be used in 
conjunction with some tritium-infused heavy water (water with "heavy" hydrogen 
in place of normal hydrogen in the H2O) to create relatively cheap (powerwise) 
fusion energy?
