I wanted to see a half-dozen bananas sitting on the orange plate! Actually, the scary bit is simply the fact that a random Chinese company making plates has accesses to depleted uranium in the first place. -Matt
As compared to American and nuclear? Russian and nuclear? Japanese and nuclear? Argentinian and nuclear? Britain and nuclear? What IS the right word combination?
Incorrect. The smoke alarms on our ceilings are rarely touched and wayyyyyyy less likely to be damaged. Handheld electronics are dropped regularly. Thus, handheld radioactive batteries are multiples higher in risk and danger than smoke alarms isolated on ceilings that are rarely touched or toyed with by accident-prone humans. Relative behavioral norms matter.
A fission reaction doesn't occur accidentally, it requires specific radionuclides, and very specific conditions. But they aren't using the explodey radionuclides, and even if they were, the specific conditions are impossible to create accidentally. The only concern with these proposed nuclear batteries is if the case is damaged and it starts leaking radiation (probably detectable by a sudden decrease in power). Idk if that's preferable to lithium batteries tendency to explode if the internals get exposed to air, but it's cheaper to swap a battery than replace a whole device (well in theory at least, the likes of Apple and Samsung disagree with this notion and feel replacement batteries should cost at least as much as a new device)
Having these as a back-up for infrastructure projects sounds really huge from an IT perspective. You can probably strap a bunch of these onto network/server equipment for the digital infrastructure and give yourself enough time to get a team out there to fix the problem before an outage occurs.
I made one of these by taking the emitter from a smoke detector and aimed it at two LEDs in series. The voltage/current across the diodes was 1.4 volts @ 20 mA. This is roughly the same current in a 1.5V AA.
A battery stops discharging when the device using the energy is turned off and the energy stayed within the battery. Nuclear batteries decay continuously to produce energy, when the device shuts down, where does the energy go?
That's verifiably untrue. Batteries continue to deplete even when stored. Chemical reactions continue to occur, even when there's nothing to pull the electrons away. The energy most often is lost as heat and/or the electrons find new homes in their surrounding environment. It's why batteries have expiration dates.
@@NoHandleToSpeakOf Then where does heat go? Isn't that a problem? Imagine your phone gets hotter and hotter in your pocket because it keeps pouring heat that has nowhere to go.
The history of Soviet RTGs in the former-Soviet era gives all the context one needs to know just how genius AND deadly "nuclear batteries" can be. They're the only serious solution for generating electricity in outer space until there's some kind of revolutionary breakthrough in both efficiency and durability of solar panels, and even that works poorer and poorer the farther you get from the sun (Lookin' at you, Mars!). But the uncounted number of orphan RTGs used by the Soviet Union to power remote facilities and the deadly disaster(s) that resulted after authorities couldn't account for those and other radioisotope devices any longer were bad enough when the devices numbered in the hundreds and were conspicuously large and heavy even after being stripped of their shielding (Lookin' at you, Lia and Goiânia!). The possibility of having hundreds of thousands or millions of smaller, consumer electronics of all shapes and sizes in dumpsters, alleyways, gutters and landfills, ought to be a serious concern, but not an insurmountable one. It's just not the intended, happy path case that needs to be considered in isolation for devices like this. It's the unintended abuse, misuse, neglect or malpractice, over an abnormally long time period for a consumer device, that must be a design consideration from the very start.
Yes. Nuclear batteries are safe only when they output an extremely low power using relatively safe radio isotopes in small amounts. This makes them practically useless except for some applications like pace makers. Yes, the real topic of these batteries is about their POWER DENSITY (how much power, energy per time, you can get out per mass or volume). To improve the power density, you will need to use some highly radioactive (= very dangerous) radio isotopes. So forget about these batteries ever replacing our Li-Ion batteries. ANY TALK ABOUT NUCLEAR BATTERIES REPLACING LI-ION BATTERIES WITH WATTS OF POWER IS PLAIN IDIOTIC. A 1 Watt nuclear battery would mean some 5-10 Watts of radioactive isotopic power (10-20% energy transfer efficiency) from nuclear decay and that's nothing safe at all.
You could make a video on micro reactors, they're like nuclear batteries, like Nano Nuclear Energy Inc is making a micro reactor the size of a freight container.
Doesn't Voyager have a kind of thermal nuclear battery? Smokedetectors with radioactive materials are forbidden in many parts of the world - except in the US.
I love how you guys watch my amateur videos on the same topic, don't say nothing in the comments but then make your own video discussing the same thing. Only I'm telling you we can make the Tritium.
@@StephenSmith304 the point is that it actually isn't a battery though. It's more of a reactor. constantly generating that voltage and it's up to you to either make use of it or let it go to waste.
@@chimerawizard5639 makes sense. Then again it s half way between a reactor, and a battery tbh. U can refill a reactor ( am pretty sure u can, dunno xD ). This is called a battery cuz it s single use.

The orange plate is more interesting than the topic of the video😂

Nuclear batterys wont become consumer grade, id only trust that sort of thing with trained techs
Chinese nuclear batteries. Now you can have a meltdown in your own home.
Somehow Chinese and nuclear dont seem like the right word combination?
you'd be surprised how many nuclear power plants China operates.
As compared to American and nuclear? Russian and nuclear? Japanese and nuclear? Argentinian and nuclear? Britain and nuclear? What IS the right word combination?
I don’t like how nuclear sounds with any country

I wouldn't want to use any kind of nuclear anything anywhere near me. JS

So my phone can double as a nuclear bomb? Sign me up! 😂

Well, there's the end of recycling as a viable concept.
Surprised you didn’t mention that nuclear batteries are non-rechargeable. Guess that doesn’t *really* matter with them being so cost-prohibitive.
You could strap a small solar cell to the back of your phone and it would give more power at night off the star light.
I'm pretty sure pacemakers have had nuclear batteries for a long time now but no other actual use case comes to my mind

Just the fact that somebody will use a radioactive material for cookware is alarming.

All you had to do is say Chinese and Nuclear. Yep deadly.
The plant in Miami is leaking into Miami water and only 1% of you ever heard about it... its not safe, ever
it hid my reply wow.. and its proven true... the plant in Miami is leaking into local waters. Well reported 2016 😮
Ditto... It's China we are talking about.
Check when the device you used to make this comment was made 😂
What about your iphone? 😂
You would have gone bankrupt if not for chinese manufacturing industry.😂

Why would anyone want a 50 year battery in their phone or laptop? You're gonna replace them in 5 tears max.
Interesting. Next question to ask is can someone make a nuclear bom out of it when they have large quantity of these batteries.
If you're going to have nuclear waste anyways might as well store it in the form of batteries that on their own in most applications cause no issues.
Has anyone thought of the recycling issues? How many end up in a land fill? Yeah, not ready for "prime time".
What if we put It in an eventual Voyager 3?
**CHINESE** and **NUCLEAR**
WHAT COULD GO WRONG??
The Miami plant is leaking into local water... so.... not safe, ever.
It's more a generator than a battery, you can't recharge them
are they really batteries though? do they only store energy or do they generate energy?
@@chimerawizard5639 Well they do run out eventually so think of it as a very low power very long lasting battery.

Where did they get the technology?
Where did you get the geiger counter?
Question to you readers: If you were Bill Gates, would you pay $10,000,000 for a phone that never needs to be charged for 50 years?
I'll pass, but good information.
