    Wonderful, but can we have a proper science presentation please without the corporate fluff. Thanks in advance.

    • @rRekko
      @rRekko 13 дней назад

      Can't because their product doesn't have any use for now. That's why they did this corporate fluff with the african people up front so they can call you racist if you criticize or dare speak ill of their product. This is just another scheme to earn money with their greenwash bs, using africans for their smokes and mirrors.
      This battery uses the decay of nuclear waste, meaning it only produces heat, so it doesn't provide any electricity by itself, it needs a device to turn that heat into power, and it'll be a very low voltage value per battery, depending on it's size. It could power some stuff but this is way WAY too far from powering things like a smartphone, a flashlight, cars, home appliances, etc.

    I just watched 4 minutes of people patting themselves on the back without actually explaining the technology and its applications🤦‍♂️. Like what kind of voltage output can you get, how long before it's commercially available, is this something that's even viable in the next 5 to 10 years.

      @alexmckee4683 20 дней назад +10

      Yes, it was quite self-congratulatory wasn't it. Power output is at the microwatt level, so we're talking about a tiny current. Pacemakers, one of the target applications, typically run at 3.5V. The mechanism is very straightforward - the carbon-14 undergoes beta decay emitting beta particles (high-energy electrons) which are absorbed by the synthetic diamond which is itself a semi-conductor so the charge created by the absorption of the beta particles becomes available to the circuit.

      @@veronicamiele375 The size of the diamond isn't that important (relatively speaking, the carbon-14 is more important). A huge amount would be required for a car. It's not really practical for that application, the quantities required would be far in excess of the national stock of C-14.
      The main advantage of this type of nuclear battery is the longevity of the battery. It can power a small device like a pacemaker or a watch for longer than a human lifespan. At present pacemakers have to be swapped out every so often - a couple of years up to a decade or so. But this type of battery would mean a pacemaker that could remain in place for the rest of the persons life, assuming the other parts of the device have that longevity too.

      @@alexmckee4683 Unfortunately, diamond has a very high self-absorption of beta particles (about 99%), so the beta-voltaic scheme does not look optimal. It is necessary to make very thin layers (first microns), which significantly limits the energy density. The use of photovoltaics looks more promising at the moment.

      Does nuclear materials even produce voltages? If I have not forgotten my high school Physics, C14 releases neutrons (providing heat energy) to become C12. The heat can then be converted to electricity through some elaborate mechanism.

However this is a generator.. as the nuclear waste will emite beta particles for thousands of years so it generates constantly for our entire lives but it produces such low energy its hardly usable and expensive.

    1) This isn't new. Working with the University of Cambridge, NDB (Nano-Diamond Battery) obtained a patent for a 28,000-year microwatt battery four years ago (mentioned on their web page). The news said, "the development of the first NDB commercial prototype battery is currently underway and will be available" in 2020. Next year, "The firm hopes to start selling the battery to commercial partners ... within the next two years [2023]. In 2023, no more news and no battery. 2) I did a quick search and found that Arkenlight is commercializing the University of Bristol technology, and they have "low-power nuclear batteries in operation in monitoring equipment in the Stromboli Volcano and a U.K. nuclear waste site." Why wasn't any of this mentioned? The amount of hype in this video is cringe; it needs to be tempered with facts.

    Nothing new this approach was derived from Piezo Crystal technology & experiments back early in the 70's, what different is that with diamonds the output under pressure is better than the piezo crystals could generated. They didn't have the tech back then in the 70's to use diamonds but the theory was already on paper that diamonds would be a better choice.

    • @alexmckee4683

      This uses carbon-14, which is produced naturally in the atmosphere but recovery of that natural resource is very energy intensive. The carbon-14 used in this experimentation was almost certainly artificially produced which is also extremely energy intensive, though it can be a byproduct of other useful work. However it certainly isn't something that's likely to scale up without massive amounts of conventional energy being produced either through nuclear power or using solar power to power particle accelerators.
