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.

Η αμερικανική εταιρεία κατασκευής ηλεκτρικών οχημάτων Tesla Motors παρουσίασε πρόσφατα τις νέες μπαταρίες που ανέπτυξε, οι οποίες παρέχουν τη δυνατότητα τροφοδοσίας ηλεκτρικού ρεύματος σε κατοικίες, σε μια προσπάθεια επέκτασης της επιχείρησης πέραν των αυτοκινήτων.
