U.S. startup NDB, a company that says it has created the first and only universal, self-charging nano-diamond battery that provides thousands of years of charge, announced that two of its proofs of concept achieved a breakthrough 40% charge. This is a significant improvement over commercial diamonds, which have only a 15% charge collection efficiency.
The two proofs of concept were led by University of Cambridge physicist Sir Michael Pepper, and in both cases the 40% charge achieved was attributed to the batteries’ nanodiamond surface treatment that actively extracts the electric charge from the diamond, allowing the battery to make use of significantly more power than any other battery before it.
“Our team is bringing together leaders in the nanotechnology, nuclear science and diamond fields with military, academic and research backgrounds, and combining our unique mix of expertise has made it possible for us to crack the code in developing this groundbreaking, life-changing solution,” Nima Golsharifi, CEO and co-founder of NDB, said in a media statement.

“We are extremely concerned about the welfare of the planet and are focused on lowering climate change to protect our planet for future generations. With the NDB battery, we have achieved a massive, groundbreaking, proprietary technological breakthrough of a battery that is emission-free, lasts thousands of years, and only requires access to natural air in order to power devices.”

When he says thousands of years, Golsharifi means approximately 28,000 years of battery life for cell phones, aircraft, rockets, electric vehicles, sensors, and other devices and machinery.

According to the executive, the company has already secured two beta customers for its solution, including a leader in nuclear fuel cycle products and services and a leading global aerospace, defense and security manufacturing company.
Golsharifi said that the development of the first NDB commercial prototype battery is currently underway and will be available later this year.

How it works
The battery is known as Diamond Nuclear Voltaic (DNV), where a combination of a semiconductor, metal, and ceramic has two contact surfaces to facilitate charge collection. Several single units are attached together to create a stack arrangement, which is fabricated to create a positive and negative contact surface similar to a common battery system. Every layer of the DNV stack consists of a high-energy output source.
Within the DNV, radioisotopes are placed in a way that facilitates inelastic scattering originated due to the presence of a single crystalline diamond in the unit. At the same time, stacks along with the source are coated with a layer of polycrystalline diamond, which is known for being the most thermally conductive and hardest material and also has the ability to contain the radiation within the device.

Very interesting article and development, if we can see something like this in the next decade or so we/our next generations will see a different world.

Finally something useful..

There was another type of diamond battery in news last year. I think the difference was that battery having diamond only as a shield to safely enclose decaying nuclear material to directly extract electricity in a method called RTG ( Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator ). But the one you have posted seems different.

and only requires access to natural air in order to power devices.”

I wonder what specific gases are required because will this battery be usable in space and on other planets.

Incredible.

Any info about form factor and current drive it is capable of?

Space travel here we come. wonder how much that would cost in an Iphone?

its a very interesting product which was in POC stage, but now they are doing two commercial projects and expected to deliver it by EOY21.

As for gases lets see when we find more publications on the subject. As for form factor since right now two applications are very important Automobile and Space vehicles both have weight constraints so I would guess within the parameters as required by both applications.

The world may find solution to nuclear waste material.

On a lighter note believing in human ingenuity the power generation problem in my opinion will be solved in the next two decades, what will happen to our sand nigger brothers.

If this is true, then expect a hostile or otherwise takeover by big corporates. As with everything else, this too would be first taken over by and then used by zionist-west to dominate the world. I am not amused nor surprised by how gullible and easily fooled the people of the world can be made into thinking that this would be used for the good of humanity. It won't be and if this technology is converted to real world applications, then expect it to be used as a means by the zionist-west stamp down its hegemony over the rest of mankind.

For anyone who aptly utilizes their intellect, knows how the west has used engine technology to dominate. In particular, britain has shared it's engine technology with america, to extend western hegemony. All that babble about standing up to communism, is just an excuse.

The Emiratis at least have some research into energy :

Research centers

• TwinLab3 Dimensional StackedChips Research Center
• Sustainable Bio-energy Research Center (SBRC)
• Smart Grid and Smart Building Center of Excellence
• Renewable Energy Resource Mapping and Assessment Center

But I don't know what kind of energy research is that and whether that source's energy ( like SolarPower Tower ) can be exported.

 

[jamahir]

If this is true, then expect a hostile or otherwise takeover by big corporates.

Maybe Tesla or SpaceX as such an energy source would be most useful to them.

True, but you've gotta look at the bigger picture here. This decade has been focal point of change in the balance of power and a depreciation in western hegemony. Countries have emerged to declare their independence from western hegemony. Countries such as Russia, China, Venezuela, Iran and Yemen, have openly and successfully challenged and to a good extent neutralized western financial, military and political assaults on them.

As during the Cold War, the west has hedged itself, banking on technological superiority to wrest claim to throne, in turn dominating the planet financially, militarily and politically. We see this in the shape of IMF/WB/Fed-Resrv, American Air Power, International Payment System, Petrodollar, UNSC having it's HQ in NYC and the list goes on and on and on.

Space-X looks as innocent and cute as Google or Amazon used to, not two decades ago. Today these behemoths are lock 'n' step with the commands of Washington DC. Wall Street was suppose to be the beacon of Capitalism, yet for the last 100 years it has been primarily instrumental in sourcing and financing the military build-up of the Nazi Regime, the Bolshevik-Soviet Regime.

If you doubt me, DM me and I would be happy to provide a list of books and authors to read and verify yourself. I have done my homework, I have read, researched and conclusively verified all the works of analysts, former state dept officials and economists, to be 80%/90% true.

 

[LeGenD]

Members are advised to not politicize technology-related themes.

1. Powerful tend to suppress and dominate the weak - human problem. Not Zionist-exclusive problem.
2. Misutilization of technologies - human problem. Not Zionist-exclusive problem.

Let us concentrate on potential benefits and commercial applications of this technology. Thank you,

Delighted to see you back in action, let me take a moment to introduce you to our good friend @jamahir who is an Indian Muslim by birth, a socialist by choice and what the sanghis call is a liberal, did i miss something and oh yes and someone to watch-out for if he succeeds in his project we might see his name in many publications.

I have spent two decades of my life in the western society actually the main beacons of the west the brits and the yankees. While I agree with many of your assertions but problem is that we the asian societies in general and Muslim in particular have failed to produce/present any alternate, how could we when we are stuck in useless matters, the world is exploring the universe, solving the mysteries of "God Particle" the Higgs boson and we are debating which sect is infidel, what is the sharee length of miswaak, or how to cut a darned cucumber in sharee way.

I mean doesn't it excite us that this mysterious particle is what makes matter matter, isn't it what the Quran has challenged to explore.

But as always I am absolutely sure that whatever future Muslims have Pakistan is going to play a major role in it and not the camel niggers, we have already climbed out of the sh*t hole. Its only a matter of time, just look at the company at helm of affairs in RISCV based processor development, it is based out of silicon valley but by a Pakistani.
