   There looks to be two things going on:

   1.)
   Sonoluminescence on the initial strikes on the two blocks. The movie CHAIN REACTION had it making fusion.

   2.)
   Some of the burning powder was entrained into the cavity and modified by the compression as the cavity imploded back…which generates heat on its own.

   In the past, I speculated using explosions to inflate molten asteroids.

   Here, a good follow on would be to have a gun point up vertically at that clear glue that hardens when UV light passes through it.

   The “report” of the gun sonically triggers very bright UV lamps—with the effect that you freeze the cavity.

   Nice paperweight.

   Maybe a torus if IR lamps get the gel hot enough?
