British company unveils nuclear laptop battery.
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, July 06 2005 @ 02:27 AM PDT
Hello.
I am an inventor, researching nuclear batteries. My research has focused primarly on batteries which use particle-emitters which produce little or no gamma radiation (the dangerous kind). These batteries would require little shielding and be safe to handle and be around. (there are already radioactive particle emitters in consumer products such as smoke detectors). I've had limited success creating a commercially-viable battery.
If this article is true, this is a true breakthrough. Unfortionately, it seems this battery is dependant on very strong gamma emitting isotopes, as these would be the ones which are dangerous to be exposed to for long periods of time. However, it may be possible to apply the principal on which this battery operates to safer radioisotopes.
I would really like to talk to the company which makes this battery. Does anyone know where this article is from? Does anybody know how to contact the inventor or company which is developing this technology?

Awesome Idea! Just with any new tech, it takes time. In time I believe it will be made save and even more efficient. And eventually more accepted into every day life.
