“In front of live audience, including reporters from six major newspapers and two TV studios”
Yes, but can he do it in front of James Randi?

<”Arata used pressure to force deuterium gas into an evacuated cell...”>
How much energy was required to exert the pressure?
Did the resultant energy generated by the “cold fusion” process exceed that of the energy required to produce the pressure?
If not, why is this event being hailed as though it is some kind of breakthrough?
So, if this is the real deal:
1. Would it completely solve the energy crunch?
2. How long until practical applications come on line?
Is this the same guy that video taped aliens looking in his window?
And how!
Genius is where you find it. I’ve suspected that the next big wave of science was about due.
“In front of live audience, including reporters from six major newspapers and two TV studios” strongly suggests that this is a sham. If it were real, he would first show it to nuclear physicists, not the gullible press.
2.Forever.....they didn't do it.
I saw the same thing on Mr. Wizard years ago, ‘cept the outcome looked like a little volcano thingy.
Because if this is true, and that’s a big if, nuclear fussion at room temperatures has never been achieved/confirmed before. The normal pressures involved are extreme, as in nuclear fission bomb...
Where did the helium come from?
Big bingo on that one.
God knows, I’d love to see it but....
Total isolation fom exterior power, and whatever lights up a single incandescent 100 watt bulb. Until I see that, my money is on Uncle Fester of the Addams Family
I will agree with that!
Probably a natural gas well. That's where most terrestrial Helium comes from.
A Brazilian man has already invented light bulbs that require no electricity.
Film.
I don’t believe it.

If the cold fusion process detailed here produces more energy than the process itself requires, then fine; this just might be something important.
But if the amount of energy this process needed to exert great pressure exceeds the amount of energy generated by the cold fusion process itself, then it is a bust.
