Then I wouldn't have to buy batteries again til the kids moved out.

Eh, it's like cars that run on water, or doctors actully curing a disease...
It'll get squashed because there more future moneys in having to replace them,
and the big corps can have that.

When you typed "AA" I thought you were talkin' bra size heh heh

(Winky, jeez we know you are a breast man but try and focus here for Christ sake)

Hey great post!
That’s a neat thing, to bad it couldn't
be used to run a laptop or a car.

My mind flitted to the idea of encasing a lump of uranium
in a car and deriving electrical power from that.

Problem is...

What? There are like there three forms of radiation
(four? if you wanna count fast and slow neutrons
which aren't electrons so they couldn't be used for this)

Gamma
Alpha and
Beta

Only the last two would be good for this Battery

Hey this thing (battery) is doomed for widespread commercial use cuz...

A: Ya know where tritium comes from and
B: ya know how much it costs?

But oh how it would SO rock to go once every five years
and get the lump of uranium (plutonium heh heh) swapped out in the car.

Guess the proliferation issue would quash such a scheme? heh

How many volts does each cell put out? For example, a single lithium ion cell puts out 3.6V. You can get them in the AA physical size but you can't replace a normal AA battery with it unless you want to fry your expensive precision electronics.

Yeah picowatts don't go very far.
