Unlike traditional batteries, the BV100 uses Nickel-63 radioactive isotope, which gradually becomes stable copper and releases energy. Since the radiation is completely protected in the device, the process is safe for humans.
The battery produces 100 microvatts – a little, but enough to strengthen small vehicles such as sensors or medical implants. Secret in technology: The energy obtained from the disintegration of the particles is converted to electricity using diamond semiconductors. This makes the BV100 resistant to extreme temperatures between -60 and 120 ° C, which opens expectations in use in space or in harsh conditions.
Betavolt claims that vehicles can change the sector by riding the device because the batteries should be replaced frequently. Production has already begun and the first parties are preparing to enter the market.
