Diamond Batteries Made of Nuclear Waste Can Generate Power For Thousands of Years
“Scientists from the University of Bristol Cabot Institute are hitting two birds with one stone, thanks to their lab-made diamond that can generate electricity and is made from upcycled radioactive waste.
In nuclear power plants, radioactive uranium is split in a process called nuclear fission. When the atoms are split, heat is generated, and that heat then vaporizes water into steam that turns electricity-generating turbines.
A severe downside of this process is the creation of dangerous radioactive waste, which ultimately deposits in the graphite core that it is housed in. Today, this nuclear contamination is safely stored away until it stops being radioactive…and with a half-life of 5,730 years, that takes quite a while.
The scientists found a way to heat the radioactive graphite to release most of the radioactivity in a gaseous form. The gas is subjected to high temperature and low pressures that turn it into a man-made diamond…”

A couple of years ago Researchers at the North Carolina state university found an unprecedented phase of carbon, diamond, they call Q-carbon which is harder than diamond and glows more than diamond even at the presence of the smallest amount of energy.
Why is diamond still so expensive? Because the diamond district is lobbying to keep it secret.
Hi
Along with the process of making Man made Diamonds…. The nuclear waste from the graphite is quite considerably reduced, right?…. So…. If the Man made Diamond even still has a radio active element to it?, by virtue of it being made from radio active waste?, it is still by far better to use the radio active waste in this way, so as to contain it safely in the Diamond format, so to speak…. Rather than just throwing the nuclear waste in to the sea in rustable containers like times of old?….
Anyone at the Physics Society?….
I was going to ask as well?, just how safe would these Diamonds actually be?, as well?, if they are actually made from radio active material? And how would anyone know the difference between these Diamonds and normal Diamonds?, if they haven’t got a Geiger counter handy?….
Michael Cammock no machinary has been able to differentiate them. There is no difference between them except for a certificate of authenticity you get from the dealer. They both come from the same versatile chemical element, carbon. Don’t let any one tell you otherwise.
Check Q-carbon on Wikipedia.
miguel agramonte so the Diamonds made from radio active material are not radio active themselves?, is that right?…. And is their energy output different to Diamonds from the ground making them an energy source or are both types of Diamond capable of storing / expending the same amount of energy?….
Michael Cammock Although you sound intelligent enough to do your own research, why don’t you visit my page and look for those glossy shining pebbles. They’re not hard to find.
There you may find a few links that might interest you.
miguel agramonte thank You so much, Sir…. I really appreciate Your well thought out reply ?…. And yes I will look at what You have on Your Profile as soon as I can and thanks for the kind invitation….
Africans started trying to punch, break and kill in this street the moment this news reached them because if true then they are worth nuthin
Synoptic 1 I will not ask you again, we’ve been through this before, remove your bigotry from this collection. There are plenty other places, collections, groups, whatever, where that is welcome. Go there with that nonsense. My collection is not one of them.
interesting
Wasim Muklashy it is the age of video and pictures, not my word alone, and the bottle could be for me. I already told you, I am not reviewing only, you can make your own experiment in person: batteries lasting 5000 years so you cannot turn off the cameras and security; or you can contribute erasing people like me with these ideas. I proposed these batteries years ago, research looks very promising. Publisher is not supposed to censor attendants, only erase noise and unwanted commercial advertisement if at all.
Synoptic 1 I don’t give a shit about whatever batteries and that talk you want to spew about, it’s the Africans comment you left two comments up from here that I’m referring to. Publisher can do whatever he damn well pleases and in this case, I will absolutely not allow any bigotry to step into my collection. Anymore of it and you will be blocked.
