You All Ever Heard Of This New Tech? Self Charging Batteries

Thanks. If it is the real deal, it would be a game changer

Its crazy how many ignorant luddites are posting in response to this. Knee jerk denials with no understanding of the underlying fields of science and conflating this technology with unrelated concepts...

I for one am hopeful this actually makes it to market in a couple of years like they are claiming; it would revolutionize small consumer electronics at the very least, and eventually possibly all technological sectors including personal transportation.

Send them your investment money. That's what they want.

This is not new tech, Hutchinson invented crystal/mineral batteries back in the 80's, this company simply expanded to using diamonds instead of crystals.

Yep, this guy knows what's up.

If this is for real... it could change a lot of things. Sounds a bit too good to be true but if it is... couldn't really come at a better time. We need all the help we can get lol.

California company NDB says its nano-diamond batteries will absolutely upend the energy equation, acting like tiny nuclear generators. They will blow any energy density comparison out of the water, lasting anywhere from a decade to 28,000 years without ever needing a charge. They will offer higher power density than lithium-ion. They will be nigh-on indestructible and totally safe in an electric car crash. And in some applications, like electric cars, they stand to be considerably cheaper than current lithium-ion packs despite their huge advantages.


The heart of each cell is a small piece of recycled nuclear waste. NDB uses graphite nuclear reactor parts that have absorbed radiation from nuclear fuel rods and have themselves become radioactive. Untreated, it's high-grade nuclear waste: dangerous, difficult and expensive to store, with a very long half-life.


This graphite is rich in the carbon-14 radioisotope, which undergoes beta decay into nitrogen, releasing an anti-neutrino and a beta decay electron in the process. NDB takes this graphite, purifies it and uses it to create tiny carbon-14 diamonds. The diamond structure acts as a semiconductor and heat sink, collecting the charge and transporting it out. Completely encasing the radioactive carbon-14 diamond is a layer of cheap, non-radioactive, lab-created carbon-12 diamond, which contains the energetic particles, prevents radiation leaks and acts as a super-hard protective and tamper-proof layer.

To create a battery cell, several layers of this nano-diamond material are stacked up and stored with a tiny integrated circuit board and a small supercapacitor to collect, store and instantly distribute the charge. NDB says it'll conform to any shape or standard, including AA, AAA, 18650, 2170 or all manner of custom sizes.


Radiation levels from a cell, NDB tells us, will be less than the radiation levels produced by the human body itself, making it totally safe for use in a variety of applications. At the small scale, these could include things like pacemaker batteries and other electronic implants, where their long lifespan will save the wearer from replacement surgeries. They could also be placed directly onto circuit boards, delivering power for the lifespan of a device

Lol I've got enough rational sense to wait until I see an actual functioning device to do that. Although from what I've seen there has been a prototype tested at a couple of different respectable third party institutions showing very promising results. I aint got no money to be investing one way or another anyways, just a pocket full of hope keeping me patiently optimistic.

I posted about this in 2018 :)

Thread: Straight from the Future! Diamond BATTERIES made of NUCLEAR WASTE can provide electric power for THOUSANDS of years.

it says they gonna sell them in two years, if it can be used for some sort of portable sammich making robot, it will totally change the nature of portable sammich making robots!
