The theory may or may not be correct. But it appears it requires about a trillion* times the total energy the Earth has received from the sun
over its entire existence, to get it to work. (1.08 x 10^8 GW per year, or 4.32 x 10^17 GW over 4 billion years). Concentrated on a surface of 1 m^2
Or from a different angle, enough energy to boil all the Earth's oceans a billion times over. Yes, I suspect there
would be "bubbles."

Any volunteers to crew this HAUC? Has anyone told the Navy that part?
