I’m so sorry, but you don’t split (fission) helium to get energy. You combine (fusion) helium to get energy. You split something heavy like uranium to get energy.
Oh, come on, now you’re just splitting hairs!
From a hairy uranium
I hate that stupid physics ruins this very good joke :/
Xenon and Krypton are noble gasses that are produced from fission, but I don’t think they’re ever the pre-guillotine input.
What if I fuse uranium huh? What then pal?!!!?
The point is the “energy well”. That is the elements “in the middle” of the periodic table are more stable/at lower energy states. So fusioning heavy elements or fissioning light elements move to higher energy states, so it will take more energy in than it releases.
And ‘the middle’ is iron, in case anyone is wondering.
Ironically >:3

Congrats on your newly discovered element 184!
For like a nanosecond
