Its a betavoltaic battery. nothing new, over 15 years old in fact.
Note this wonder is 100 MICRO watts. from something about the volume of an AAA battery
Which is much more powerful

It'll last for 5000+ years of course.
Really useful....

An ordinary battery has a potential. When you put a load on it, electrons move from electrode to electrode. Until you connect something, no power is dissipated.
As I read it, this is a radioactive material decaying and emitting electrons. It will presumably do this all the time (for 28,000 years?). I saw the bit about caps for storage but they will fill up, what happens then? Is heat created?
This may be a stupid question but I only do Newtonian physics!
