BTW I doubt the energy yield of an imploding sphere is anywhere close to a nuclear device, but implosion is a very rapid process, so its power output is indeed very high. Examples: - Pistol shrimps create cavities whose collapse emits light. https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/07/pistol-shrimp-sport-tiny-helmets-to-protect-selves-from-their-own-shock-waves https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/07/pistol-shrimp-sport-... - A Super-Kamiokande PMT implosion triggers a chain reaction. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Particles/kamio.html http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Particles/kamio.h... - Downed WWII aircraft dropped hollow spheres into the ocean whose implosion, heard thousands of miles away, signalled their position https://shaunmccarthy.wordpress.com/2008/07/13/ww2-secrets-the-sound-channel/ https://shaunmccarthy.wordpress.com/2008/07/13/ww2-secrets-t... https://acousticstoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Underwater-Acoustics-A-Brief-Historical-Overview-Through-World-War-II-Thomas-G.-Muir.pdf https://acousticstoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Underw... Also, imploding spheres have been used as a proxy for nuclear detonations in calibration experiments for sound-based nuclear blast detection: https://inis.iaea.org/collection/NCLCollectionStore/_Public/37/073/37073987.pdf https://inis.iaea.org/collection/NCLCollectionStore/_Public/...
