And what was the story on Paul Brown? He claimed huge currents, not just microamps from his devices.
Do we call him a fraud and move on? Or was he onto something big?

The niche has been around for many years as it is almost obvious... remember Paul Brown and before?... Several of those betavoltaic proponents used to post here (Brown passed away in 2001). The tech was always just out of reach in terms of cost and energy density. Nano-diamond changes everything. Its low work function means high efficiency and cold cathodes. The problem will always be cost but mass production of the material for micro-electronics could change that. Intel needs a new breakthrough. Where are you Intel? We need you.

If it works, it will be as good as cold fusion for small scale devices such as hearing aids. I wonder if it can be powerful enough for a cell phone? - Jed
