The American company NDB claims to have created a cell phone battery that works 28,000 years without charging. According to specialists, nanodiamond batteries act as small nuclear power generators.
The “nuclear” battery is a radioactive core from recycled nuclear waste, a source of isotopes, that is coated with synthetic diamond. The isotopes interact with each other and this converts the energy into electrical current.
Since a radioactive substance is capable of vanishing for several thousand years, the useful life of this battery exceeds all possible operating times of the equipment.
A low-power commercial version is estimated to hit the market in less than two years, and the launch of the high-powered version is scheduled for 2025.
Scientists claim that these sources are harmless to humans and the environment. The radiation levels from this battery will be lower than the radiation levels produced by the human body itself.
According to NDB, their technology will make it possible to create a final product of any shape or standard, even from the most common AA batteries and electric car batteries.
Company representatives assure in comments to New Atlas that their final product will be priced, in some cases, even cheaper than existing lithium batteries. It’s that nuclear waste providers will pay NDB more to collect their spent hazardous materials.
