Nuclear fusion was demonstrated on Earth in a particle accelerator called a cyclotron in the early 1930s, but no useful energy was produced. Fusion energy was also released during H-bomb testing by the US, USSR, UK, and France in the 1950's, but the resulting energy release was so brief that it could not be used as a practical source of energy.
