The object you describe is a brown dwarf stellar object.

They range in size from 13.5 to 80 times the mass of Jupiter.

They do allow limited deuterium burning in there cores and brown dwarf > 65 Jupiter mass also allow limited lithium fusion but unlike stars do not produce a lot of energy.

Is nuclear fusion in the sun wind energy?

No, nuclear fusion in the sun is not wind energy. Wind energy is generated from the kinetic energy of moving air masses, while nuclear fusion in the sun is the process by which the sun produces energy through the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium.


What are the by-products of nuclear fusion?

In general, nuclear fusion produces a new atom (or, in some cases, two atoms), a change in the amount of heat present and possibly some other emission. The specific products of nuclear fusion depend on what is being fused. The fusion of 2H + 2H produces 3H + a proton + 4.02 MeV The fusion of 2H + 3H produces 4He + a neutron + 17.6 MeV The fusion of 6Li + 2H can produce 4He + 4He + 22.4 MeV In the cases where fusion produces atoms heavier than iron, the reaction is endothermic, consuming heat rather than producing it.


What are the disadvantages of nuclear fusion for electricity?

It has not been developed enough to make this clear


What isdifference nuclear fission and nuclear fission?

The difference between Fusion and Fission is that Fission is easier to do and produces more energy than fusion reactions. However fission can be dangerous and is used in Nuclear reactors. Fusion however is safer and produces less energy but safely. It is quite difficult to cause a Fusion reaction however.


What process is responsible for the production of tremendous heat of the sun?

Nuclear fusion, specifically the proton-proton (P-P) chain, is responsible for more than 98% of the Sun's energy. Less than 2% of the Sun's energy is estimated to come from the Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen Fusion Cycle, because the Sun is not massive enough to depend on the CNO cycle.
