This nuclear battery is “safe for humans” because it is enclosed in a tamper-evident material. It works by using microscopic diamonds to displace heat from radioactive isotopes. Radioactive isotopes come from nuclear energy waste. The company stacks up several of these microscopic cells to generate electricity.
Revolutionary technology is at our doorstep
It’s a revolution. The radioactive DIAMOND battery powered by nuclear waste “will operate for 28,000 years” and could be on sale by 2023. It is then easy to imagine the future “Apple Diamond Phone”. You are no longer buying an iPhone but an iPhone. Which will be sold at the price of the most expensive computer in the world. Every superstar rapper will want one. This is going to be the terminal phase of the world class struggle.
There will even be schools to train to use this new phone. As you are taught to drive a Ferrari. Or like when you pay a golf or tennis instructor to improve yourself. You will spend a week with him learning how to use the phone. And you will also have your AI girlfriend, your robot woman. In the 21st century, humans no longer have values, only technology has value. No one is comfortable with the idea, but men are already enslaved by machines.
Now let’s get back to that nuclear-waste-fueled battery that could allow a spacecraft or hospital to operate for 28,000 years without needing to be recharged or replaced, its developers say.
The radioactive battery is “completely safe” for humans, according to California-based Nano Diamond Battery (NDB), which claims it “will change the world.”
Nuclear batteries need no recharging
The company hopes to start selling the battery to business partners, including space agencies for long-term missions, within the next two years. NDB is also working on a consumer version that could run a smartphone or electric car for up to a decade without requiring charging.
No pricing details have been revealed by the tech startup, which says it is still in development. The technology involves combining radioactive isotopes taken from nuclear waste with layers of nano-diamonds stacked in a battery cell.
The extremely good thermal conduct of microscopic diamonds works to draw heat away from radioactive isotopes so quickly that the transaction generates electricity. This battery is based on a technology called nuclear voltaic diamond (DNV) presented by scientists at the University of Bristol in 2016 using blocks of graphite.
This technology is for devices that require a slow, steady flow of electricity over a long period of time due to low power output. The NDB system is able to work in consumer products by adding layers and layers of diamonds and radioactive waste panels to increase total energy production.
The company also ensured that the material was safe and that people could not easily access the radioactive material inside the stacked feed cells. “The DNV stacks as well as the source are coated with a layer of polycrystalline diamond, which is known to be the most thermally conductive material,” said a spokesperson.
Safety first
This material “also has the ability to contain radiation inside the device and is the hardest material,”. Up to 12 times stronger than stainless steel. This makes the product extremely resistant and tamper-proof.
Use cases include a watch with a small NDB battery that could be passed down from generation to generation without ever having to replace the power supply.
Diamond batteries will one day be able to power satellites. It will be providing them with enough spare power to desorb at the end of their life, or probes heading into deep space for thousands of years.
“The human desire to explore space is fueled by the excitement of exploring the unknown,” NDB comment
Where to use nuclear batteries?
Recent advances in space technology and the rise of the first manned electric airplanes have led to an increasing demand for their battery systems, hampered by concerns about longevity and safety.
The NDB can propel drones, electric planes, space rovers and stations while allowing longer activity.
In the future, smaller devices, such as smartphones or laptops will use this technology too. Each containing a miniature power generator that will last as long as the device itself – without ever needing to recharge.
“In situ and implantable medical devices such as hearing aids and pacemakers respectively can benefit from long battery life in a smaller package with an added benefit of safety and longevity,” the company added.
Summary
While this technology is still a few years away from us – we need to live the life now. Work, travel and rest. Why don’t do this in JAC iEV7S?
Affordable electric vehicle with the comfort, power and all you could need for the everyday use. Sure, it won’t be able to travel without charging for 20 thousand years. But the 400km autonomy on a single charge is a superb parameter.
