Abstract
Confinement has been introduced into the quark gap equation, as proposed by Cornwall, as a possible solution to the problem of chiral symmetry breaking in QCD with dynamically massive gluons. We argue that the same mechanism can be applied for technicolor with dynamically massive technigluons. Within this approach both theories develop a hard self-energy dynamics, resulting from an effective four-fermion interaction, which does not lead to the known technicolor phenomenological problems. We outline a quite general type of technicolor model within this proposal that may naturally explain the masses of different fermion generations.
