"Now, esteemed Physics Professor Yoshiaki Arata of Osaka University in
Japan claims to have made the first successful demonstration of cold
fusion. Last Thursday, May 22, Arata and his colleague Yue-Chang Zhang
of Shianghai Jiotong University presented the cold fusion demonstration
to 60 onlookers, including other physicists, as well as reporters from
six major newspapers and two TV studios.
..
Arata and Zhang demonstrated very successfully the generation of
continuous excess energy [heat] from ZrO2-nano-Pd sample powders under
D2 gas charging and generation of helium-4," Takahashi told New Energy
Times. "The demonstrated live data looked just like data they reported
in their published papers [J. High Temp. Soc. Jpn, Feb. and March
issues, 2008]. This demonstration showed that the method is highly
reproducible."

Excess energy is a likley misnomer. D2 as adsorption will cause a
temperature change to the positive. A He-4 as a mistaken a
application might well exist. A cold reaction can appear, but the
energy was still endothermic. A careful energy calorimeter was always
necessary to quantify all effect.

A nice resistor as a calibration current heater can cause a well
documented applied cold fusion test.

Cold fusion is a real effect, but the question was always excess
energy. SO finding some He-4 without an exact energy release
measurement means little.

I remember a talk by Pond's neutron detection experts once. And exact
neutron fluence was always a critical value relative to the heat
generated. Exothermic condition was inferred incorrectly. A person
must assign absolute error bars to ALL neutron fluence measurments.
They did not use realistic neutron erorr bars. A one sigma of 10
percent for the National Neutron Standard should be assigned.

It is a critical reality, a real calibration is extremely difficult
unless a relative source calibration occurs. No one on this earth
currently perfoms absolute neutron calibration, should warn people
engaged in critical neutron measurment.

Ponds played a real chemistry game and ended up shafted by true
undocumented absolute neutron error.
