Скачать или смотреть DIAMOND BATTERIES that can last for a Thousand Year Without Recharge

Imagine not having to recharge or replace a battery ever in your life. Well, a group of researchers and scientists at the University of Bristol have developed Nuclear Diamond Batteries that can power devices for over 1000 years, all the while charging themselves.
Even though it produces massive amounts of hazardous radioactive waste that are incredibly difficult to process and get rid of, nuclear power is considered a clean energy source, simply because it has zero carbon dioxide emissions. Now, a group of scientists have potentially come up with a solution to deal with nuclear wastes, that may very well change battery technology, as we know it today.
Back in 2016, a group of researchers, physicists and chemists at the University of Bristol, started working on what came to be known as radioactive diamond batteries. The invention that they came up with was presented as a beta voltaic device, which means that it’s powered by the beta decay of nuclear waste.
Beta decay is a type of radioactive decay that occurs when an atom’s nucleus has an excess of particles and releases some of them to obtain a more stable ratio of protons to neutrons. This produces a kind of ionizing radiation called beta radiation, which involves a lot of high-speed and high-energy electrons or positrons known as beta particles.
A typical beta voltaic cell consists of thin layers of radioactive material placed between semiconductors. As the nuclear material decays, it emits beta particles that knock electrons loose in the semiconductor, creating an electric current. However, the power density of the radioactive source is lower the further it is from the semiconductor. This means that nuclear batteries are much less efficient than other types of batteries. This is where the polycrystalline diamond (PCD) comes in.
Radioactive batteries are made through a process called chemical vapor deposition, which is widely used for artificial diamond manufacture. Researchers have modified the process to grow radioactive diamonds by using radioactive methane containing the radioactive isotope Carbon-14, which is found on irradiated reactor graphite blocks. These diamonds can act both as a radioactive source as well as a semiconductor.
When exposed to beta radiation and you’ll get a long-duration battery that doesn’t need to be recharged. The nuclear waste in its interior fuels it over and over again, allowing it to charge itself for ages, with very little to no measurable degradation over hundreds of years. Theoretically speaking a single battery can be used for over a thousand years, without having to be replaced or recharged.
For your information, the battery is a working prototype, that cannot be used in common applications like laptops or cell phones. Because the power it provides is very little, its application is limited to small devices that don’t draw too much power. In order to make it implementable on a large, commercial scale, researchers are working on technology that would enable them to develop and sustain the invention.
Arkenlight, an English firm who are commercializing Bristol’s radioactive diamond battery, plans on releasing its first product, a micro-battery for pacemakers and sensors to the market in the latter part of 2023.
