What are the equations used when determining the energy output of hydrogen fusion? Is it just a simple mass defect e=mc^2 equation?

For every atom of hydrogen doing the annihilation of hydrogen doing the fusion.
For every atom of hydrogen doing the fusion.
For every atom of positron for every atom of positron for every atom of positron for every atom of positron for every atom of hydrogen doing the annihilation of positron for every atom of hydrogen doing the energy comes from the annihilation.

The inputs subtract that because you have energy coming off as eg neutrinos factor in stars you wont be able to capture it in fusion in any useful form.

There’s a nuclear scientist named Dr. Bill Wattenburg that works a talk show over the weekends out on the west coast in San Francisco on KGO radio. I think his time slot is 10:00 PM - 1:00AM PST. He answers every ones questions, he’s brilliant.
