No! That pressure is still too low to achieve fusion. You'd need 10^4 more. That's what is required to achieve the metallic hydrogen, stable and superconductive at room temperature, up to ~700K. The TSC is a self compressive molecule of hydrogen, in tetrahedral form. It self compresses until it fuses. Since it is neutral, it might go towards any other nearby nuclei and fuse with it.
I conjecture that it is the minimal atom cluster of metallic hydrogen. 2012/7/18 David Roberson <[email protected]> > I must be confused about the process.
