“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?
Battery Ping!....................
Made in China copy to follow shortly.
It keeps going and going........and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going...and going......................
Why would a battery need 22 pins?
Could and May.
When is it for sale at Walmart?
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.
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.
and how many milliamps at what voltage?
“...generates less radiation than the human body...”
I didn’t realize the human body generates GAMMA radiation, which is what I thought had saturated the nuclear waste materials this thing uses. You know— the type of radiation that passes through everything but lead and mutates cells, causing cancer and radiation sickness and such. Somebody needs to explain to me how these things are safe.
Take my money, please.
Invented by white guys, these have to be fascist and evil.
“Think of it in an iPhone.”
Anybody see a problem with holding a small bit of radioactive matter to your ear for up to an hour a day, everyday? We already have people claiming the microwaves that the handsets generate are dangerous.
Can I get ‘em in SO-16 instead of DIP?
I’m puzzled about a couple of things:
1. The decay they speak of produces an electron but no corresponding positively charged particle. The negative electron (beta particle) is flung off and a proton (positive particle) destroyed. A battery basically sucks in electrons at lower potential and pumps them out at higher potential.
Wouldn’t the nano-diamond thing cause a buildup of negative charge?
2. In the company’s website they abstractly mention products but do not give any of the products’ outputs in amperes. Nor do they give output voltages.
3. Are they claiming that a very thin diamond outer shell will block all of the radiation from the decay?
Someone help me out on these puzzles.
It’s not a battery and therefore has no way of being charged or recharged. It’s a tiny nuclear power plant. Capacitors aren’t batteries.
It doesn’t say that this power source can be placed in an electric car and used for 90 years without being charged. It allows us to think that. I don’t.
So this article is useless. We need to be able to ask the developers some questions. It looks like this will be a convenient power source can replace batteries. More information is needed.
How long will it run a B.S. meter?
I have long said that the “green movements” -e initiatives were never going to amount to much while still using solar cells or batteries as their primary power source. That it would take on-board power generation, possibly from a LENR type reactor or other breakthrough technology, to really bring about a revolution in how we power things.
Nice to know I was right again.
Now, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Missouri’s State motto comes into play here... Show me.
This will be huge, if government can get out of the way and if the companies involved can keep it safe and working, as they claim.
