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. [ link to www.electronicsforu.com (secure)] PS. I opened this thread as the OP of linked thread did not allow AC's to comment. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79291427 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. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78985664 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. Quoting: roguetechie81 Except that anything proposed other than steam-driven hydroelectric generators is full-on, compete fake news bullshit....
