But the question remains if you CAN make break even - get positive energy out

But they rely on that big fusion reactor hanging there in the middle of
the solar system. It's been there for about 4.5 billion years. Nobody
realised that it was nuclear fusion reactor until quite recently, and
the message still doesn't seem to have got through to you.

Oh well, and the sun will burn up eventually or so I'v read.
Not so much is known about the inner nuclear workings of the sun.

Quite a lot is known, if not by you.

Is the fusion part caused by enormous pressures from the rest of the sun?

It's temperature rather than  pressure that makes the difference.

It does not have to be break even or positive at all.

Of course it has to. Gravitational compression created the pressure and
the heat that eventually started the nuclear reaction. It takes about
100,000 years for a photon from the reacting core of the sum to make it
out to emerge as sunlight.

 Well since you have not designed build and published even a picture of something as simple as a flashlight here
logic suggest possible jealousy or 'grootheidswaanzin'

You haven't been paying attention, or perhaps you can't plug the text version of an LTSpice .asc file into LTSpice.

But then so did Einstein, he never did an experiment in his life and his only design was a bad Fridge.

It was a perfectly okay fridge, for some unusual applications. Theoreticians don't do experiments, and the Pauli Effect suggests that they stop experiments from working. Wolfgang Pauli and Pqul Dirac didn't do any experiments either, and that didn't stop them from being almost as famous as Einstein.

Him being youwish made him their hero, god almost, as he wrote that letter to suggest committing genocide on Japanese civilians with nukes.

Don't be silly. His letter - with Leo Silzard - to Roosevelt didn't have anything to say about using the atom bomb. It just pointed out that such a bomb was possible, and that Germany might be working on it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein%E2%80%93Szilard_letter

His squared lightbulb masses are the biggest obstacle to science advancing as are global warming witch hunts.

In  your demented opinion.

Look at fusion like a spring
A srping can be compressed and drive a clock or a toy car
But it never will power anything by itself.
There will always be a net loss between compression and using it to do something.
Table top will confirm that (Farnsworth Fusor).

Looking up during the day confirms something rather different.

ITER has confirmed that, but misguided politicians keep falling for the einstein brainwashed,
pooring in ever more money for no result at all.. EVER.

ITER hasn't done anything yet. The Joint European Torus in England worked well enough to demonstrate that ITER was worth doing.

ITER will always ask for bigger and more.

It seems the most likely outcome. We wouldn't have invested in it if it wasn't. Of course if they found a reason why a bigger torus won't actually deliver the goods, they would report that too. That's why people do scientific experiments.

Sure some suppliers of magnets and what not now make a living from your tax money there..

Not my tax money. I live in Australia and pay my taxes to the Australian government

At the same time US agents like Germany's Merkel killed the real power generating nuclear plants.

Human species... decline, dark ages repeating itself, dummies produced by the millions
zero understanding mamaticians doing a divide by zero, multiple uni-verses (do they sing there).

Evolution does produce a lot more duds than successes. You seem to be one of them.
