The fact that you post the same assertion repeatedly doesn't change the 
fact that it is wrong.

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.

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

Even a venture capitalist would have enough sense to avoid investing in you.

Perhaps they will.
