The Battery That Can Supply Power For 28000 Years. (Nano Diamond Battery).

How the future works, what would be the source of future clean energy, how could be the power extracted, and how that could be stored without harming the environment? To solve these questions a California based startup NDB unveiled a new type of battery called the nano-diamond battery, which can last up to 28000 years.

Globally there is 34 million meter cube of nuclear waste is produced, which costs over 100 billion US dollars to manage and dispose of. A lot of this waste is graphite that is used as a moderator and reflector in a nuclear reactor that increases its efficiency. This has in itself become radioactive due to the years of being exposed to radiation. This waste is categorized as one of the higher risks of radioactive wastes. Thus, it is one of the most expensive and problematic waste to store.

Radioactive graphite contains C-14, a beta-ray emitting carbon radioisotope that turns into harmless nitrogen, anti-neutrino, and more importantly an energetic electron. At NDB they decided to harness that energy from this west. Since both graphite and diamond are made of carbon, So one could make a radioactive C-14 diamond from radioactive C-14 graphite. This way the energetic electrons released from the radioactive decay could scatter and deposit energy to the diamond to generate a shower of electrons as much as 3,600 electrons on average and up to 11,400 electrons in its track.

That charges are stored in the capacitor and can drown letters when it is needed. In another word, it generates electricity on its own. This means is that a battery that ‘bleeds’ electricity from recycled waste. Saving a tremendous amount of taxpayers’ money. Since we no longer need to store nuclear waste. Best of all, because of its extremely long half-life of 5,700 years, it is in effect, a battery that does not run out or need replacing. Because it is coated with a non-radioactive diamond that prevents radiation leaks, as well as it is the hardest substance on Earth. It is extremely safe and tamperproof with no moving parts. It is a clean and green energy solution and when fully used it will turn into harmless by-products. Effectively self-disposing nuclear waste.

NDB plans to go further by making the battery as pure as possible to increase the device output by purifying the C-14 using our CDPME1 purification process. As the purer C-14 is, the purer and more powerful the battery will be. The purified C-14 is then processed using plasma-enhanced techniques. Such as Chemical Vapor Deposition, a technique used to make computer chips and other nano-devices by growing materials atomic layer by layer. Metal sputtering will also be used to make a new type of battery they call the NDB, short for Nano Diamond Battery. NDB is a new type of battery that goes against instinct. It is a battery that does not run out and its application is in almost anything that uses a battery. Hearing aids, watches, health monitors, cameras, and even sensors, even they claim that this can be used for the higher consumption devices such as electric vehicles, mobile phones, laptops, tablets, drones, etc. It also doesn’t need the sun to generate electricity like solar panels and generate power at every time. The access of energy can be supply to the grid. So they plan to install NDB into electric vehicles to use as a mobile power source that will allow consumers to sell electricity to the grid that will help cope with the ever-increasing national electricity demand.

But that’s not all, because NDB does not need to be replaced, So it is ideal for applications that are hard to reach or best left alone like, pacemakers and implants. Another use of NDB in-hard-to-reach places are to power space electronics such as those onboard a rocket. By installing NDB into a spacecraft could support its electrical needs such as powering its cockpit, assisting its launch into the upper atmosphere. During this period NDB could be used to power communications as well as console controls and any other auxiliary electrical needs. Once it is no longer needed by the rocket, the NDB could then be used to power satellites and space stations. It could even be used as a disaster relief aid such as for survivor identification drones and radiation monitoring systems post-nuclear disaster.

But it is an emerging technology, so NDB says some specialized technical challenges need to be addressed.

I think with significant benefits to both society and the environment, both financially and ecologically. NDB, a lifelong source of green energy.
