Energy is more than merely mass in motion.
When objects are moving in different directions, they are experiencing 'relativity' to each other; differing frames of reference. But without course corrections, their can be no energy calculation or expression. However, when they collide, then during the time it takes to complete the course change the atoms will be experiencing a g force. And during that time only can their be an expression of energy input.
Energy is therefore realized by acceleration or deceleration from one frame of reference into another frame of reference. During a change all matter will experience a g force, whether that quantity of matter is a large clump or the smallest possible amount.
In a star all of the atoms are supported by each other around a central point, yet the massive quantity of atoms creates a situation were each individual atom experiences a g force due to gravity. They are experiencing a very strong and ever changing frame of reference (acceleration).
This is energy input: change of frame reference (acceleration - due to gravity.) There are many many g forces at the surface of a star!
Heat in a star is obviously due therefore to the incredible rate of acceleration and the amount of mass undergoing this energy input by way of acceleration.
It is perpetual due to the geometry of a star. (Great mass around a central point.)
Fusion is the end result of the heat and pressure, not visa-versa. This is why attempts to create a fusion reactor have been unsuccessful. The required conditions simply have not existed on the earth for self perpetuating heat generation. So, perhaps we can examine the possibility of creating self perpetuating heat generation by means of artificial gravity through some form of centrifugal activity.
Stars can never lose their ability to self perpetuate heat unless they lose their mass and therefore their gravity (mass under acceleration).
