How fast is energy produced in one cubic meter of the core of the Sun?

These kinds of supposed advances and breakthroughs are catnip for the science media, but the immense cost and technical complexity of a fusion generating facility designed along current lines make commercialization a doubtful proposition. Unconventional new energy sources like cold fusion or thermal conductive geothermal may be more realistic because they are more scalable.

Does anybody know what ever happened to that mCat (or whatever it was called vCat?) fusion device? It used to show up here on FR periodically and I called BS from day one. The hype was too much, the endless announcements, and the endless “just around the corner” were all tell-tale signs of a true “mad-scientist” scammer. If anyone had such a device, they need no announcements, just build one and put it to work and they will become the richest man in the history of the world.

Has NO ONE in the scientific community played Fallout?! Think of the (vault) children!
