Got Permanent Magnet Generator Questions?

Today’s nuclear reactors break apart big atoms and energy to heat steam and turn electric generators for our use. That’s by the process of nuclear fission.
Scientists have been working for over 50 years to try and sustain nuclear fusion, or the combining of hydrogen isotopes into helium and energy. As far as I know, there is no success as yet.
Will it ever come to pass? If so, when? Will it really solve all our energy problems if successful?
I doubt I’ll be around in 50 years to see the success of this.

Steam and gas type for more than 100 MW out put.

And could insulated water tanks be large enough to retain enough super heated water to generate steam to power the generators be used to act as a buffer so that through the night and on low light days electricty production would be steady without varible output allowing for steady production 24/7/365 if it was sited properly? Would this greatly lessen solar powers twin main faults of expense and inconsistency without the need to wait for cheaper batteries or new more affordible photovoltaic solar panels to be invented or built?

Car hydrogen generators make a small amount of hydrogen to save on gas so they say, But when you mix air and hydrogen don’t that make water? Or is it when its ignited it makes water? or both??
ether way this cant be good for a car? water or steam in the pistons cant be good, if there is any blow by it will get into the oil, and it cant be good for the pistons rings cat. o2 and muffler,,

Is this safe even if it does help on gas?

This is probably a silly idea but I really like the idea of making my own electricity. I’ve thought about solar and wind but neither would really work for me. My wife & I will be building a new home in 9-10 years and I have a new idea…. We want to have one of those outdoor wood burning furnaces to heat the house. Is there such a thing as a small steam powered electric generator? If there is, maybe I could use some of the heat generated in the furnace to boil water, make steam and turn a small turbine to generate electricity. This way, I could heat my home in the winter and make my own electricity all year long just with wood. Just an idea (maybe a stupid one). If anyone has any info on this subject please share it with me. Thanx.
