Being big isn't a virtue. Being big enough to do something useful is.

 
I have posted many times:

No it is right ;-)
But think about it for a moment, anyways Farnsworth fusor shows it is true.

Stars are a lot smaller that the universe, and they manage to fuse
nuclei on a very large scale. We would be here if they didn't.

That has nothing to do with it.

As to that Farnsworth Fusor, they complain the grid gets too hot
Nice, why not use thermocouples as grid, convert voltage up,
get break even or better?

Thermocouples don't convert much of the heat energy available into heat.

I'd like to try, need a good lab and a good mechanical man, funding of course :-)

That is why there still is no break even small fusion home power box.

It is nice several projects are now looking for fusion, who knows?
Someone may hack it!

Perhaps they will.

Well, we have glowball warming in case humans fail.
Or we can dig deep enough into the ground for some heat.
But the question remains if you CAN make break even - get positive energy out

But, my solar panels work great!
