Yes, random internet guy has the answer.

A fusion device that produces more energy than you put in but doesn't produce a shit ton of energy right now is a useful breakthough in fusion.

It's not about speed, it's about quantity. A real nuclear power source will be able to produce far more energy than any chemical system of the same mass. If you want to see if supposed nuclear power source works, run it and see if it actually does so.

If you believe there's something wrong with what I'm saying, please explain, random internet guy.

But it doesn't prove that it truly is a fusion device then.

Are you sure you're more qualified to discuss this than the poster you're replying to? Why make a point of it if you aren't?

Ideas (should) stand on their own around here. Take this lame attempt at Argument from Authority somewhere else.

Please don't respond to an uncivil comment with another uncivil comment. That just makes the thread worse yet.
