30 Year Continuous Power Laptop Battery

Your next laptop could have a continuous power battery that lasts for 30 years without a single recharge thanks to work being funded by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory. The breakthrough betavoltaic power cells are constructed from semiconductors and use radioisotopes as the energy source. As the radioactive material decays it emits beta particles that transform into electric power capable of fueling an electrical device like a laptop for years.

That could be a portable WMD if the battery explodes, or at least melt someones legs off. :P

:rolleyes: Think of all the other uses...

Kidd's Toy's, Digital Camera's, Flash Lights, Portable Refrigerator's (Beer Cooler's), Remotes for TV's, Lady's Toy's :blink: etc...

^ROTFLMAO

Yeah, I dont think I would trust these for a long time.

Lately some big companies(sony) cant even seem to make good ol lithium batteries correctly anymore. :rolleyes:

It would be nice, bet it runs really hot though...need like 5 fans to cool it :P.
