Heat is transferred from low Temp. to high Temp. without consuming external energy. Compared to nuclear fusion, it is simple and easier to gain energy.

Conclusions from the Principles of Thermodynamics.
(non adiabatic process included due to elementary particles decay based on the second law)
The statement you've made about heat transfer from low temperature to high temperature without consuming external energy is incorrect. The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that heat naturally flows from higher temperature to lower temperature regions, and to transfer heat from low to high temperature, external energy input is required, which is typically done using devices like heat pumps or refrigeration systems.
Regarding nuclear fusion, it involves the process of combining light atomic nuclei to release a significant amount of energy. While it has the potential to provide a vast and sustainable energy source, it is currently a complex technology to harness and maintain, primarily due to the extreme conditions required to achieve controlled fusion reactions. Achieving practical nuclear fusion as an energy source remains a significant scientific and engineering challenge, but research is ongoing in this field.
In summary, transferring heat from low to high temperature without external energy input is not possible according to the laws of thermodynamics, and nuclear fusion, while promising, is still a complex technology to harness for energy production.
