Sonoluminescence - Turning Sound Into Light
Scientists have been able to change one form of energy into another even with acoustical energy. sonoluminescence - Turning sound into light.
http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/2-26-2006-89869.asp

Extractions: Around the 1920's the technology of Sonar was first being introduced to the world. In use with detecting enemy submarines in WW I, it was fast becoming a much-needed scientific breakthrough. However, as with many laboratory experiments, unusual phenomena had been observed - giving way to a completely new field - which we today call Sonoluminescence. Sonoluminescence is the unique ability of turning sound into light. It was first stumbled upon in 1934 by H. Frenzel and H. Schultes of the University of Cologne, Germany.* Essentially, it is the ability of acoustical energy bombarding molecules of water. But the results of such an action, taking into consideration much controlled conditions, is fantastically more intense than one may presume at first glance. For the action that takes place is to compress a bubble of air trapped in water to 1,000,000,000,000 it's own weight! Once this is accomplished, a flash of ultraviolet light - lasting only picoseconds, with the air bubble become hotter than the surface of the sun. Not only are the mind boggling facts cited above enough to make the average head swim, but also consider the fact that the acoustical energy that bombards this air bubble is concentrated so as to amplify it 1,000,000,000,000 (One trillion) times! Such a phenomenon can cause this process of turning sound into light over 30,000 times a second.

Single Bubble Sonoluminescence HOWTO
Provides detailed instructions on how to produce single and multi bubble sonoluminescence.

Extractions: Reinhard's Experimental Physics Letters (unpublished) 5/1996 There are many papers about the theory of Single Bubble Sonoluminescence available, but exact descriptions how to produce it are rare. So if you already know about sonoluminescence and now want to reproduce it, this is the right place to look at. I tried to give a complete and detailed report of the steps towards SBSL. Any suggestions, supplementations, comments are welcome... This experiment may be dangerous. Always think before you work. Working with vacuum or boiling water can cause explosions. High voltages are generated in this experiment. I will not be responsible for any injuries or damaged equipment. If you don't know what you are doing just don't do it at all. And: No, I am also not responsible for any thermonuclear accident you trigger. sine generator:
SONOLUMINESCENCE
A conventional engineer's assessment of Keely and his discoveries in the light of today's knowledge of physics
http://www.keelytech.com/sonoluminescence.html

Extractions: The following article I found on the net. Unfortunately I have not yet been able to find out its author and cannot give credit, which is evidently due, because the article is telling and accurate. It is true that Keely does talk about the phenomenon, which is interesting, because it was not until 1934 that it was re-discovered at the University of Cologne as a result of work on sonar. But no more comment, here it is: SONOLUMINESCENCE Keely's work also involved the idea that when water was vibrated at certain frequencies, visible light would emerge within it. He tied this in with the properties of sound to harness the aetheric energies. This phenomenon has now been duplicated through an experiment that is known as "Sonoluminescence." In this experiment, a spherical flask that is filled with water is vibrated at a certain frequency, low in pitch but very high in strength. In the below image we see a simple laboratory setup for this process, with the spherical flask in a clamp and high-intensity speakers mounted to either side of the sphere, with red power wires attached.
Achieving SBSL

Extractions: Figure 1: A piezoelectric transducer. Water is the substrate that most readily emits light so the first step to achieving sonoluminescence is to create a suitable sample. As a control to the experiment distilled water must be used. To get a suitable gas level in the water it is necessary to steadily boil it for approximately 11 minutes. The 100ml of water should be degassed in two equal parts to stop splashing whilst the water is boiling. The flask must be sealed with a rubber bung immediately after the heat is removed to prevent gases being reabsorbed. The water should then be left to cool to room temperature and preferably cooled even further in a fridge before the experiment is conducted. Piezo-electric transducers (P.Z.T.s) are used to create the acoustic field. These are ceramic devices that expand when a potential difference is imposed across one way and contract when a voltage is imposed across the other way. They need a voltage of around 700V to work efficiently. If subjected to an A.C. potential they will expand and contract rapidly. If they are glued to the side of the sonoluminescence flask and wired in parallel they will cause the flask to vibrate thus producing the required acoustic field.
Theory Of Operation

http://www.sonoluminescence.com/intro.html

Extractions: Theory of Operation Single bubble sonoluminescence (SL) is the spontaneous emission of picosecond pulses of broadband light from a micron-size gas bubble levitated in water by the application of an external sound field.The bubble expands and contracts in phase with the oscillating pressure field. Much of the recent work on single bubble sonoluminescence has been concerned with the dynamics of the bubble motion and the detailed spectrum in the 200 to 700 nm range using a variety of gas mixtures as the contents of the sonoluminescing bubble. Recent theoretical work with shock wave focusing in the bubble has given peak temperatures up to 10^9 K, while other estimates place the peak temperature in the range of 10^4 to 10^6 K. The mechanism for the light emission is still not understood. There is general agreement that the violent collapse of a micron size bubble to its hard core limit is at the heart of the light emission process. The following picture shows the light given off by 2 bubbles trapped in the [1,1,3] mode of a rectangular cell. The frequency at which the light is being emitted is 28.3 kHz.

Describes the connection between the Casimir effect and sonoluminescence. Full text in PDF, PS and DVI file formats.
http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9901011

Extractions: refers to ... what is this? what is this? Authors: Kimball A. Milton (Submitted on 4 Jan 1999) Abstract: Zero-point fluctuations in quantum fields give rise to observable forces between material bodies, the so-called Casimir forces. In these lectures I present the theory of the Casimir effect, primarily formulated in terms of Green's functions. There is an intimate relation between the Casimir effect and van der Waals forces. Applications to conductors and dielectric bodies of various shapes will be given for the cases of scalar, electromagnetic, and fermionic fields. The dimensional dependence of the effect will be described. Finally, we ask the question: Is there a connection between the Casimir effect and the phenomenon of sonoluminescence?

Extractions: Sonoluminescence For history see the above articles and the thesis of Lofstedt UCLA 1995, and a letter to Physics World August 1999 at this site. We believe that the photo of a single light emitting bubble moving in a torus generated the appearance of a shuttlecock as reported in the thesis of Paul R. Temple U. Vermont 1970 who we credit with the first observation of sonoluminescence from a single bubble. Latest results include the use of a streak camera to observe the emission of an outgoing shock wave from the sonoluminescing bubble. In a 16KHz sound field the strength of the shock wave approaches 1 Million Atmospheres. Two color plates and a black and white show the experiment and data. Physical Review E 2000. Sonoluminescence has found use in synchronizing photodetector arrays for the solar neutrino observatory and in plastic surgery.

Extractions: Students begin their exploration by first understanding some basic acoustical principles, such as resonance behavior, quality factors, variation of sound speed with temperature, and the eigenmode structure of a 3-dimensional resonance "cavity." Once these principles are understood there are a large number of experiments that can be performed focusing on the liquid sample preparation and the light emitted from the bubble.
