If they last as long as they say they do, then sales are finite, meaning they're going to be expensive in order to recoup the costs of manufacturing. I hope they make the circuitry accessible so that components can be replaced. Otherwise you have a worthless battery sitting around for 28000 years. |

That's what I heard too. A diamond. And it does need to be recharged every month in the early stages. I wonder where you heard it. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 79303407 Serbia 08/26/2020 06:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nuclear batteries? Yep, they were talking about those a decade ago. Liquid Nuclear Battery That Has the Potential to Reach One Million Times Chemical Battery Power Density (2009) [link to www.nextbigfuture.com (secure)] They first tried using solid crystals, but radioactive decay made those brittle and ineffective in short time, so they switched to liquid crystals a decade ago. Some variant or another of those is undoubtedly already used in (military) satellites, and will never be available for civilian use... because you can't have completely (as in decades-long) energy-independent civilians in a tightly controlled cattle farm... er, "modern society". |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79251493 United States 08/26/2020 08:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I honestly don't know. It sounds promising but I had never heard of it before. Thats why I was wondering if anyone here had. Smells a bit too good to be true. But also, is there something to it? The Japanese had a self charging capacitor battery for their radios in WW2, John Hutchinson invented an small self charging earth battery, this is different and promising, it's got useful potential. |
