cavitation is a mental process, coincidentally i sat an exam on it yesterday

This was all the rage in the early 90s. Lots of people talked about installing systems in offices to use sonic energy from people chatting to generate light. Didn't really get anywhere and kinda lost its hype. Mostly because people still haven't worked out how it exactly works.
