Thread: Batteries From Nuclear Waste That Last Thousands Of Years

The concept sounds genius in its simplicity, but the cost????

Radio-active material fused into diamonds, then encased in diamonds.... lol

How will this ever be able to pay itself back?

Of course, if such a battery is really able to last for thousands of years... then it might not be a bad idea, and even exorbitant prices might be justified.

PS. I opened this thread as the OP of linked thread did not allow AC's to comment.

So you create a radioactive diamond.
Great.

Now wtf are you going to do with it?

You need to use the diamond to heat water to boiling, then use a stream turbine and generator to convert that heart energy into electricity.


REAL EFFICIENT. NOT.

Except that's not what they're going to do with it.

P.s. steam turbine loops can reach up into the low 70% thermodynamic efficiency range which is quite literally the best thermodynamic performance we've got so you're just wrong about everything you said.

Except that anything proposed other than steam-driven hydroelectric generators is full-on, compete fake news bullshit....
