OK, so it behaves more like a photoelectric cell. I was under the impression that it was supposed to be highly efficient in converting the beta energy into electricity. If it is very inefficient then a lot of heat is going to have to be exhausted. That is a significant disadvantage when

If Brown were able to get large currents at a modest voltage, he would be onto a very valuable produce. Of course, if it costs a fortune to manufacture that would not be true. Dave -Original Message- From: Chris Zell To: vortex-l

Much depends upon the terminal voltage that you must convert into a useful value. My suspicion is that the open circuited voltage is very high, making it difficult to use in simple applications. Dave -Original Message- From: Jed Rothwell To: vortex-l

Actually, the output voltage is the voltage of the semiconductor junction. The beta particle stimulates multiple hole-electron pairs across this junction. This type of beta voltaic battery is extremely inefficient in converting the energy in the beta particles into output electrical energy. On

The most clever scheme for powering pacemakers I have heard of is to power them with oxygen and carbon from the bloodstream. Like small, artificial organs. I do not know where that project is but it seems like a neat idea. The power lasts as long as the person does. There are some other schemes

I know how industrial diamond and DLC are made and the rates that are reasonable. I don't know where the 4mW/g electrical came from for 14C (perhaps that is the energy output of the 14C), but I believe you would be doing well to achieve about 40 microwatts per gram. Keep in mind that a gram of

I did not see a reference to the open circuit voltage or short circuit current obtained during these tests. Has anyone found a reference? Also, where are the electrical terminals? Dave -Original Message- From: Jack Cole To: vortex-l
