Fusion
Just a quick note here.
The research has yielded evidence supporting earlier findings by other scientists who designed an inexpensive "tabletop" device that uses sound waves to produce nuclear fusion reactions.
I'm not sure if this could ever be made viable or not, but, in general, research is good!
It uses Deuterium. Deuterium contains one proton and one neutron in its nucleus. Normal hydrogen contains only one proton in its nucleus. So called "heavy water".
I got to wondering, just how much of this stuff is available?
A cubic kilometer of seawater would contain enough heavy hydrogen to provide
a thousand years' worth of power for the United States.
I guess that answers that!

I was wondering if you're the guy from BPE. If not, then never mind.
Anyway, sonofusion might work, but the existence of fusion reactions doesn't necessarily mean that it is capable of producing net energy. One example of this is Inertial Electrostatic Fusion, which is also considered by some to be a tabletop device. It produces fusion reactions, but the design currently uses more electrical energy than it produces.
