Ahhh.. Darwin Awards... since it's a laptop, must still be used on the lap, right? Radioactive material in proximity to reproductive organs... Tim

If it's true and not a hoax, it's a heck of a leap in technology; from let's say 10 hours in 2 years with traditional batteries (following current trends) to multiple years! Scientists Invent 30 Year Continuous Power Laptop Battery http://www.nextenergynews.com/news1/next-energy-news-betavoltaic-10.1.html[^]

Who would want to keep power an obsolete laptop for 27 more years? What are the good uses of such battery you can think of? I think toy car is a good choice. Now you can play with your son the very same toy car your dad got you. :)

Normaly I wouldn't care about this claim, but since it's comming from you, I am afraid. Very afraid.
Actually back in science fair days, one of my friends at Los Alamos built a miniature particle accelerator. It obvously wasn't powerful enough to do do much measuring only 4 feet in diameter.... :) I was only building lasers, 3D graphics, and experimenting with theoretical 4D constructs mathematically. :) I am harmless.... mostly! :->

don't forget the sticker shock. Tritium runs ~$100k/gram. :doh:

That's good news, you can refinance your laptop battery to buy your first house! ;P

I wouldn't mind paying 100-200 dollars for one of these if they do what is said. A laptop last about 3 years (sellphone even less) so never having to recharge my sellphone or laptop does sound very nice to me
If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why. The only way we learn is by making mistaks.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betavoltaic[^] It seems there's a catch. The Wikipedia article doesn't come out and say this directly, but it sounds like you can't get enough power out of a betavoltaic to run a device continuously. Anybody out there with real knowledge on the subject?
