“decade to 28,000 years”

So, I’d only have to charge my cell phone every 28,000 years?

I’ll take it.

Is it better than a flux capacitor?

...lasting anywhere from a decade to 28,000 years without ever needing a charge.

All silliness aside...that’s pretty exciting. I bet this would put the fear of God into electric utility companies. It would be nice to not need Duke Energy anymore.

Why would a battery need 22 pins?

Not all pins on an IC are always used. Some are there for stability and standard footprint

Assuming this isn't just some humbug, it sounds like a follow-on development to the pebble-bed architecture developed in Germany, then dumped on its ass when the Greeniacs got nuclear power banned.

It was noted that the cell is composed of like layers not unlke that of a capacitor.

The flux is nuclear in origin.

It s a flux capacitor

Well, the story was a little overdue. Every six months one of these pops up like clockwork. Call me when something like this comes up as commercially viable.

I'd like to see how they get rid of waste heat, and what sort of efficiency they claim.

It appears to be a better nuclear generator than any yet developed.

How do they claim to do that.

At least, they are not claiming to get something for nothing.

Overall, it fits the "Sounds too good to be true..." warning.
