Diamond Batteries Are Forever
- achow 6y agoObjective analysis.. https://medium.com/0xmachina/the-nano-diamond-battery-ndb-too-good-to-be-true-548066508c49 https://medium.com/0xmachina/the-nano-diamond-battery-ndb-to... It is just a concept now, no prototypes. Announcement could be for creating noise before fund raising
- LorenPechtel 6y agoYeah, while the basic concept obviously would work I can't see the energy density they are claiming. C-14 has a long half life, the decay rate is going to be low.
- bcrl 6y agoThere are nuclear batteries available, but the amount of power they put out is in the microwatts. Not exactly a useful amount of power for a modern phone. Good enough for some kinds of sensors, though.
- Klwohu 6y agoI got three of those pop ups which like fade in, a cookie OK’ing footer, holy COW that’s a horrible awful web site.
- dTal 6y agoI feel compelled to note that diamond, far from being a "virtually indestructible" vibranium-style material, is in fact made of carbon and is therefore highly flammable. What happens when this battery catches fire?
