Air Force researches "30-year battery"
Source: PC Pro
___________ US Air Force scientists are apparently working on a battery that could power your laptop for a staggering 30 years without needing to be recharged, according to reports. The batteries are supposedly based on existing betavoltaic technology which uses decaying radioisotopes as an energy source, according to a report on Next Energy News. The technology, which has been around for 50 years, works by harnessing the beta particles given off by decaying isotopes and transforming them into an electrical power source. |
