nope. water = H2O... not an atom, so you can't produce it through fusion : a multi-atom molecule can't be produced directly with fusion.

However, you could produce Oxygen with fusion (but never done, I think). Then you would only have to add Hydrogen to get water.

As stated in the first answer...H2O is a molecule not an atom so fusion can't create it. All of the Hydrogen in the universe was created in the big bang. (or shortly after when the first element was forming from sub atomic particles.) Everything heavier, like Helium (the next element) is created in stars. It IS possible for Oxygen to be made in a star through fusion (up to Iron actually, but that's the biggest atom.) ...but most elements past Lithium (#3) including Oxygen (#8) are formed violently when a Super Nova blows up and forces them together with extreme pressure. Nuclear always refers to the inside or Nucleus of the Atom. / Chemistry always refers to the outside of atoms or the electrons which form bonds with other atoms to make molecules. A water molecule looks like Micky mouse's head (the shape) with the face being Oxygen and Hydrogen being the ears. Our sun is now fusing Hydrogen into Helium and is about half way through its life. I hope this was interesting and helpful to you.

The only fusion reactions that have been achieved artificially on earth are of isotopes of hydrogen to helium. This has most commonly occured in hydrogen bombs, which provide the hydrogen for the reaction in the form of heavy water. So your question is upside down - you cannot create water from fusion, but it has been destroyed in the process of fusion.

whenever there is an experiment going wrong the scientist starts to sweat in nervousness so yes to this question there's your water
