Could the Pistol Shrimp's Energy Event Hold the Key to Cold Fusion?

[Godspanther]

The pistol shrimp creates a cavitation bubble by opening it's claw. For the barest fraction of a second temperatures within the bubble exceed those of the surface of the sun. That is an energy event comparable to a nuclear reaction.
Question one, Can this be mechanically duplicated and on a larger scale?
Question two, can we find a way to harvest the energy?
Question three, could such a mechanism be what is needed to force a cold fusion event?

1. Yes. With ultrasonics in a glass globe.
2. No. Very little energy is present.
3. No. Cold fusion is a dream.

To expand a bit, the point is that the shrimp has a way to get a small amount of energy (it all comes from the shrimp's muscles) into a really small volume, which gives a very high energy density while the total energy is still tiny. You could get a lot more energy out of this by just burning the shrimp (ethical issues aside).

And fusion isn't just about high temperatures - you need to confine the stuff you are hoping to fuse as well, or none of it collides. It just leaves the region quickly. That's the bit that requires theheavy machinery - big lasers or big magnets.
