Here is a quote from the infamous internet information source:
“The core is the only location in the Sun that produces an appreciable amount of heat via fusion: the rest of the star is heated by energy that is transferred outward from the core”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun

I certainly know it very well.
Astronomers think that the sun can maintain stable nuclear fusion reactions in its inner core just by a centripetal force (gravity), it is a good idea, but it cannot be verified by experiments, because nobody can go in inside of the sun. I must emphasis that physics is an experimental science.
Fusion scientists think that they can achieve stable nuclear fusion reactions just by electromagnetic forces, but they have not succeeded.
We do not know that heats can produce forces directly.
Sunspots kind stable nuclear fusion reactors are governed by a centripetal force and electromagnetic forces.
