No. I mean that it was alledged that the test substance warmed up, or
perhaps that some alpha, or beta, or gamma ray emission was triggered by the
cavitation. When the ftest material warms up more than is expected by the
energy required to make cavitation wouls warrant, it would be said that
extra energy was oserved. As I said no one has been able to repeat the
results.

Perhaps I do not understand waht you mean by "voltage changes". Voltage
looses its original meaning (a potential difference between two objects) in
a plasma. It's hard to define the two objects when in a plasma induced by
external conditions.

The atoms are definitely ionized at the moment of bubble complete
collapse. That collapse impact results in electrons being thrust out of
their normal orbital positions about the atom's nucleus. At that instant the
atom is ionized with a plus charge. Light emission as we know it does NOT
occur when the orbital electrons are thrust out of their orbits. Light is
emitted at a specifc frequency (waevlength) ONLY later when a free-straying
electron falls back into an unoccupied orbit. Thereby in that action, a
photon is created and relased. After that, the atom is "whole" again, and
the released photon is traveling way off in space somewhere.

FYI, cavitation damage occurs while the atom is ionized but has not yet
reetrieved a stray electron. This ionized atom is free to engage in
acid-like etching of the metal object that had just created the cavitation
(e.g. the leading edge back-side of a fast-turning ship's propeller). The
atom in question could be a water hydrogen atom, thus becoming a true acid
for that moment. The most observed result of ship propeller cavitation is
that the metal is eaten away, leaving pits and some metal oxides. The pit
deepens with time and exposure. In suc erosion, the light emitted has little
to do with the corrosion... light is just an incidental by product.

(above) are to prevent oxidation and oxidative damage, not "sparks".

Inside bubles the sparks jump. SO what is there is a very hot plasma.

Also cloud luminescence is quite common. It is easily observed insome night

Name may be different but the mechanism is the same. In collapsing bubbles
is the same like in clouds.

In bubbles is vapour. It is like small cloud. Big clouds big lightnings,
small clouds small lightning.

In the electrets is enough to change the distance between the metal plate
and the electret. No touch no stress.
You prefer the Wiki explanations. I have come across that Japanese
publication and now I have no doubt that Wiki is wrong. I am a litlle
familiar with the ECM (electrochemical machining) and I know what such
damages are like.

We know that V = Q/C. It means that at evaporating the voltage drops. At
condensation grow up. That was measured by Japanese.
So electrochemical damages must take place in the area where the bubbles
appear. Not where they collapses.

Now you have opportunity to understand me. "the leading edge back-side" is
in the zone where the bubbles appear. No collapsing there. "acid-like
etching of the metal" is true but not perfect. The damages are exactly like
the electrochemical erosion. I am a little familiar on electrochemical
machining.

False way.

Excellent observation.

Excellent conclusion.
The light may be an indicator of intensity.

The process is easy to describe. In the formation zone electrons are pick
from the metal, next flow with the water an come back to metal in the
collapsing zone. The damages are in the formation zone (electrochemical
machining).
It is easy to repeat the Japanese measurements.

Here are a simmilar measurements:
