Splitting helium requires energy. Go for Radon or something.

The purpose of a guillotine is to deliver energy

[–] OofShoot@beehaw.org 3 points 5 months ago

Perhaps I want clear. If you split helium, you lose energy. You have to go above iron if want to release energy from fission (mostly).

But a guillotine doesn't deliver more energy that a nuclear explosion. Given the endothermic nature of splitting helium it would have do the splitting and the exploding.

You ever think there's a reason nobody puts cool in the same sentence as physics :p
