Does anyone make serious Studies about a Tritium Soloar Cell Batterie?

[Lord of nothing]

Hi
I know some Youtube Video who some people stuck some Tritium Tubes on a Solar Cell and the got some small Voltage out of it. The use just one Colour and 2 Solar Cells. So does anyone (here) try different colour and different Solar Cell Types?
Maybe there is a better setup?
Thanks

Yes, knowing what wavelength, your solar panel would adsorb the best, would help aid I choosing the color.But why would you...it's practically, just nothing more than an experiment. Batteries are miles better, thus no one is wasting time on what's a "kid's grade time-pass".

  Well that Radioactive stuff radiate for Years. Are there some Batteries who are certified to be in  use for 10 Years?

Sure. Nuclear batteries.

  I would say Tritium are one.
How does the one work on Space Probes, Vehickel? Are the "just" one with Peltier Elements?

Just google "10 year battery". You'll get hundreds of results, most of them for smoke alarms.

Button cells (non-air reacting) can last for a decade or more as well. Good quality digital watches boast 10 year plus battery life.

Some primary lithium cells are rated to operate for 10 or even 20 years or more in micropower applications.

Sorry to bring up a zombie thread but 'diamond nuclear batteries' are a thing. Broadly, they use nuclear decay (from nuclear waste) encapsulated in a man-made diamond to run a betavoltaic converter and produce electricity. They are small and the power output is feeble but it lasts a loooong time - the specs talk about an energy output of 31MJ "over the first 5,700 years", which I take as implying it'll last longer than that.

Imagine opening up a forgotten chamber in an ancient pyramid and finding the lights still on...

Wikipedia has a good article and there are many other sources.

You can actually buy them, though they cost a pretty penny probably:

Well...yes but actually no...

Well...yes but actually no...

What's his strawman this time? That you can't charge a phone with one?

(Sorry, if he would just cut to the chase at the start and then do his takedown rant... he's supposed to be a scientist and all their papers open with an executive summary so you don't waste half your life imprisoned by someone's ego just to get the money shot.)

I take it that this is a thunderf00t video then. (Checks - Yup.) I gave up on him a long time ago. Like you say, twenty minutes of him telling us how clever he is, how he's 'totally owned' X, Y and Z, and then finally the meat, with a 50% chance that there's a huge gaping hole in his logic or he attacks a strawman use case that is not the one that is being proposed/claimed.

[Cyberdragon]

He basically says that the diamond part is pointless and that it it won't last anywhere near 5700 years.

Thanks. Maybe someone will do a busted thunderfoot video sometime.
