No change in energy at all, just energy transfer. But how efficient do you think it is.
That is a good question, and difficult to answer without a laboratory, however, it is well in excess of that used to start it.
I just ripped this from the same page you did on Wikipedia.
The fusion of lighter nuclei, which creates a heavier nucleus and a free neutron, generally releases more energy than it takes to force the nuclei together; this is an exothermic process that can produce self-sustaining reactions. The National Ignition Facility, which uses laser-driven inertial confinement fusion, is thought to be capable of break-even fusion. The first large-scale laser target experiments were performed in June 2009 and ignition experiments will begin in 2010.
Laser Driven, this is Heat induced just like this planet.
Inertial Confinement, I am using Dry Earth for confinement just like this planet.
The Pot is coated with Gold, 98% Reflective, we have an atmosphere that serves the same purpose.
Do not forget yourself you are just doing the same thing that I can do with a garden hose.
Just remember the point, DRY EARTH is an awesome insulator, The Gold reflects 98% of the heat by surface area, so, it takes a while to get the LEAD hot, but once it's started to get hot, the heat cannot escape faster than it is input, so it gets hotter and hotter. It is forced up the pear because that is the only way it can go - the path of "least resistance", into the tin, the same again, constant, increasing heat from below, melts the Tin, the Heat can still only go up, multiplied yet again, into the silicon which gets so hot it melts.
The Lead by now is so hot that it is emitting Radiation, again, following the path of least resistance, into the Tin, the tin can only accept so much more until it reaches the point of fusion and send even more Neutrons into the Silicon, causing it to transmute into Phosperous and burn.
Does that help?
I have had this running.
Chemical thermodynamics
This does not answer the question as to what chemical reaction is taking place here.
Next part of my post is going to be here after I read through your post again.

IS burning something a chemical reaction...
Yes.
It does not answer how the phosphorous gets there to burn though.
Sand does not burn.

In fact ALL AC electricity is made from HEAT one way or another.
Basically you just said that radioactive decay is the same thing as being heated up by a laser.
Do not forget yourself you are just doing the same thing that I can do with a garden hose
Say I have a garden hose if water is running through it, and a finger is blocking its path, then the water goes through with more intensity. The overall force of the water is the same.
Tell me at what temperature do you think it takes for an object to start to fuse? Well let me give you an answer, about 10 million degrees
Not to mention the fact that all objects radiate, or the fact that you yourself mention that you need something to heat it up in the beginning to this temperature, then to cool it down, then to magically heat it up
It is part of the thermodynamics involved in your "Cold fusion machine".
LOL - well then go for it! If you want to convert the relatively small amount of heat you are getting out of the can to electricity, go for it. But, if you want to make electricity from heat, then why don't you just use the heat from the furnace/oven you were using?
You obviously have NO CONCEPT of energy loss during conversions.
The amount of energy you get out of your Budweiser/sand heat storage device is TINY compared to the amount of energy you are PUTTING INTO IT.
You should probably take some basic physics courses before venturing directly into advanced fusion.

Does it just hold heat for a very long time?
Do you light it like a candle?
How long does it 'last'?

So where is the ENERGY loss occuring then as it is designed to mitigate loss to 2%.?

You think? Based on your Garden Hose?

OK. I ask again, is this based on your garden hose?
Have you even thought this through, you've explained to everyone here that this Planet we are sitting on does not work?
ave you even thought this through, you've explained to everyone here that this Planet we are sitting on does not work?
I have tried to put this over a simply as I can?
I say again, you are sitting on a ball of dry earth, at the centre of which is a seething ball of molten metal.
This ball is powered by another seething ball of hot metal, the sun.
We have an atmosphere that keeps most, but not all the heat in.
This is exactly the same, except I have chosen a better atmosphere than the planet has.
Does this planet not work exactly as I have stated? Does the planet not have a "FUSION" core.
I tried to tell him how he would already lose energy through heat, but I think he is trying to explain to me that the heat is keeping the process alive.
Anyway to the op
have it your way.
Like I said before it was pointless.

I told you the process required the Can to be GOLD plated to be true cold fusion.
Gold reflects the Heat back into the CAN much better than the Aluminium.
88% - 98%
The can is shaped so that it is reflected into the centre of the can, where the lead is.
Anyway to the op
have it your way.
Like I said before it was pointless.
It is only pointless if you give up?
You still have not answered the question regarding the Chemical reaction that YOU stated was happening.
What is BURNING in this chemical reaction?
THE EARTH IS NOT POWERED BY NUCLEAR FUSION, IT'S CORE IS ONLY HOT BECAUSE OF RADIOACTIVE DECAY!!!!!!!!! NOT FUSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The suns heat just powers life on earth.
Explain how geothermal energy is found at places underwater, where the sun's light, i.e. radiation, cannot penetrate.

So, again, WHAT is burning as you have still not answered that?
The Dry Earth
The Lead
The Tin
The Silicon
Or The Aluminium?
My guess would be that it is the Aluminum that is burning (aluminum oxide actually).
Aluminum is actually quite flammable under the right conditions: in fact, aluminum perchlorate is a key component of solid rocket fuel.

ARE YOU MAD.
The suns heat just powers life on earth.
If that were true then this wood be an ICY BALL OF ROCK.
The SUN powers ALL life on THIS planet, and it powers THE planet.

I would hate to argue, but the SUNS radiation not only passes through the OCEAN, it ALSO passes right through the planet.
Light is NOT the only type of radiation given off by the sun.
And you told me to take some Physics lessons.?
If the planet has the IRON core that science says it has, then what is DECAYING because last time I checked IRON was not subject to much in the way of radioactive decay.?
The primary energy source of Earth is radioactive decay.

YOU can make all the sarcastic comments you like, but YOU made the chemical reaction comment.
I'd like YOU to answer it.
BUT YOU CANNOT so you resort to childish retorts.
ARE YOU GOING TO ANSWER THE QUESTION OR NOT?
The things that are reacting are the substances you put into the can. You burned them, gases are released.

The centre of this planet is a star, just like the SUN.
