Cujo October 3, 2007 Share Cujo Member October 3, 2007 theoretically could you not power your house off these? build them into every light bulb? what about electric cars that you never need to charge cause the battery lasts longer than the car? truly amazing possibilities.

Sure could, but you'd get more energy out of a radioactive source from a properly-built Nuclear power plant. Of course, these batteries sound like they use a radioisotope that our current plants aren't tuned for, and certain things just can't remain plugged in: Houses in remote areas and electric cars come to mind. Plus, you could just stick your light fixtures to walls instead of having to run wires. If you really wanted to. Amazing, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracid October 10, 2007 Share Tracid Member October 10, 2007 Nice, but wouldn't that put the battery makers out of business? Or just laptop-ish application only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaftiel October 10, 2007 Share shaftiel Member October 10, 2007 I could just see the oil companies having conniption fits if they were able to adapt this to cars. Being able to power your car for 30 years without refueling would seriously impact them. I dare say they would put alot of their money into making sure that didn't happen heh .
