这是2008年5月的事情。实验已经公开演示，并且得到He，证明的确发生了聚变。
简而言之就是用钯的晶格“挤压”氘原子。

Year after year, New Energy Times readers have asked us, "When will we finally see something demonstrable, a light bulb or a motor running from a LENR experiment?"
一年又一年，新能源时报的读者问我们，“我们什么时候才能真的看到一些可以表现的东西，例如用来自低温核聚变的能源工作地灯泡或者汽车？
Perhaps the wait is over.
可能等待已经结束了。
On May 22, professor emeritus Yoshiaki Arata (Osaka University) and professor Yue Chang Zhang did it. With the flick of a finger to start the Stirling engine, they saw the heat from their LENR experiment—with no applied electrical energy—turn a small rotor for many minutes. The presumption is that the motor was turning during the nuclear energy production phase rather than the chemical energy production phase.
在五月22日，教授Yoshiaki Arata（Osaka大学）和张月昌（音译）进行了实验。用指头启动引擎后，他们看到了来自低温核聚变的实验中放出的热——没有加入电能——让一个小的转子旋转了几分钟。这个推断是机器利用产生的核能转动，而不是化学反应放出的能量。
Arata is a highly respected physicist in Japan who has been the recipient of Japan's highest award, the Order of Cultural Merit, and is the first person to have performed a thermonuclear fusion experiment showing large amounts of deuterium-deuterium reactions in Japan.

However, after more than half a century, thermonuclear fusion research has yet to produce a single experiment that demonstrates any energy release beyond that which it consumes.

Arata and Zhang are not the first to perform a live public demonstration of LENR excess heat, a possible new source of clean nuclear energy, but they are the first to display publicly a LENR application that is visible.

The demonstration took place on Arata's 85th birthday at the Osaka University Advanced Science and Innovation Center. A lecture by Arata at Arata Hall of the Joining and Welding Research Institute (named his honor) on the Suita campus of Osaka University preceded the demonstration, and a question-and-answer session followed the demo.

Norio Yabuuchi, of the High Scientific Research Laboratory of Tsu City, Mie, Japan, provided New Energy Times with a video recording of the public demonstration. A short segment that shows the motor in action is here:

The full, unedited video, as provided to New Energy Times, broken into three segments, is now online. (The video is not a professional production, and New Energy Times apologizes for the quality of the video, though we are grateful to have the only publicly available copy at this moment.)

   1.  Arata Lecture (44 minutes)
   2. Laboratory Demonstration (31 minutes. Please note there is a 3 minute segment when the focus of the video camera wanders; please be patient.)
   3. Question-and-Answer Session (16 minutes)

Members of the Osaka team include researcher Wang Xiaofeng and technicians Ohmura and Urasaki.

Professor Akito Takahashi of Osaka University witnessed the demonstration. Takahashi wrote that 60 people from universities and companies in Japan and a few people from other countries attended, as well as representatives from six major newspapers and two television stations. Some of the international print media coverage is listed in a separate item in this issue of New Energy Times under "International News Coverage of 2008 Arata-Zhang Demonstration."

Jed Rothwell, librarian of the XXXXXXXXXXXXX Web site, was, according to Takahashi, the only American present at the lecture and demonstration.

"The high operating temperature, instant response and reliability of this device make it the most practical form of LENR yet developed," Rothwell wrote. "The small amount of palladium is also a major advantage. As far as I know, all of the tests with Zr-Pd targets and D2 have produced heat immediately and predictably. It may not be possible to turn off the reaction instantly, but this is no impediment to practical applications; it is not possible to turn off the heat from burning coal or uranium fission, either."

Evidence for the claim of a nuclear reaction came from the quadrupole mass spectrometry measurements of helium produced by the experiment. According to Arata, no helium was present in any of the materials before the experiment, and no helium was introduced from the atmosphere.

Arata states that no input energy is required for the experiment, aside from the energy required to create the initial vacuum and gas pressure and to bake the powder to remove impurities.  

In an earlier conversation with New Energy Times, Arata offered his perspective on LENR research.

"Some people say we have reached the end of science, that there are no more great discoveries that remain. In my view, nature always has more secrets to reveal," Arata wrote. "I always stay on guard not to be too possessed by my own current knowledge. History has shown us repeatedly, for example, the foolishness of denying 'heliocentricism,' which resulted from individuals adhering too strongly to their own knowledge or to what was common sense in the past."

这个时间和1989年那个不一样。我知道后者是个病态科学事件。
