no, the problem with small scale fusion is the fact naturally occurring fusion takes place because of the effects of gravitation on all that matter confined to a small (relatively) area. only once we've learned alot more about gravity will we be able to make small scale fusion a thing.
we need to be pursuing cold fission, not fusion.
Vessels containing liquid nitrogen can condense oxygen from air. The liquid in such a vessel becomes increasingly enriched in oxygen (boiling point 90 K; −183 °C; −298 °F) as the nitrogen evaporates, and can cause violent oxidation of organic material.
> With liquid Nitrogen generating the Oxygen needed to sustain a steady burn could this not work in theory?
Space isn't liquid nitrogen.
The sun isn't a flaming ball of hydrogen.
You can't create a mini sun because the conditions in the sun require a lot of mass.
We are trying to create fusion reactors: ITER is the EU one, germany has their own science project with a big crazy twisted chamber, northrop grumann is trying to create a small one, other groups are trying other ways to make them.
Hobbyists create Farnsworth Fusors that do actual fusion, but they consume more power than they generate.
can't get past that coulomb barrier with small bits of gravity.
There is no gravity only air pressure. Gravity is a misunderstood force and the number one down fall on all counts. The human concept of gravity is what has held back progress for 200 + years.
Space is Liquid Nitrogen. Site prof that it is not.
if you can dream it you can do it
Cite.
I'm not digging up a citation for someone that can't spell citation. Interstellar space has something like 2 hydrogen atom per km^3.
What are you even saying?
Space is Liquid nitrogen. When the green house gases pool over Antarctica every year it causes the Ozone to weaken and Liquid Nitrogen from space comes in directly causing the shift in seasons and Winter.
OH! You're a conservative. Just say so next time.
Your concept of gravity is misplaced like dark matter or particle x you use it as a variable instead of what it actually is.
We understand the relationship between gravity and mass.
We don't understand at all about "dark matter", that's just a fill in.
For sure there's a lot we don't know yet, but we DO know that gravity certainly has nothing to do with air pressure.
That's called "paramagnetism". Even graphite can have this effect.

What is Gravity?
It's an attractive force between masses.
>para magnetism + Air Pressure = your concept of Gravity.
However you are missing key components or you would be able to lift extremely heavy objects effortlessly.
Think about the Japanese high speed rail and how it works.
>>para magnetism and electromagnetic fields are what attract masses not Gravity.
For a demonstration place a magnet inside a rock and drop that rock and the one that doesn't have a magnet and see which one drops first.
er, no. Magnetic repulsion/attraction requires a magnetic field. It doesn't come out of nothing, like in space where gravity causes stuff to stick together.
A falling magnet will certainly be affected by earth's magnetic field, so it will accelerate differently than a non-magnet, for the same mass and volume.
Neither of these things have anything to do with air pressure.
Air has weight and it pushes down on the earth this air pushing down generates pressure. Air pressure is why things fall to the ground not gravity.
And the earth is flat, too! lol
My 12 year old knows more about how this works than you do.
I hope they know more than you.
