Solve : 30 Year Battery: Breakthrough or Bunk?? |
|
Answer» Scientists on the US Air Force's dollar have apparently come up with the magic bullet for portable devices: a 30 year battery. The cells are betavoltaic: beta particles are emitted as radioactive material decays and hit a surface. This causes a current to flow. Think solar cells, but more nuclear. Link So if this battery was installed in my laptop...If I drop it WOULD it go BOOM?From what I've read it sounds more LIKE a pipe dream than something we're going to see in laptops anytime soon.This is how HACKERS can turn your computer into a bomb.What does that have to do with anything dairyman?Neat. I'd never have to recharge my phone. Although I don't know if I would want all that radioactivity happening right next to my brain. Quote from: michaewlewis on October 23, 2007, 06:07:07 PM Neat.

As Carbon Dudeoxide said: Quote So if this battery was installed in my laptop...If I drop it would it go BOOM?Ahh okay... But just so you know, the hackers TURNING computers into bombs article is pure technobabble. |
