New Battery Tech - Nuclear Diamonds!

[C5tor]

Well, this looks completely speculative, but nonetheless intriguing.

Anyone up for batteries made out of nuclear waste and turned into diamonds? Sounds a little bit far fetched, but I can see some possibilities in the theory.

Feel free to talk amongst yourselves.

Nano-diamond self-charging batteries could disrupt energy as we know it

while battery technology needs to, and will, advance, I believe that this is only the first baby step and not a giant leap forward. they are talking about low output batteries not electric bikes and/or cars. but still a good start. I only read this because my Alta sm is refusing to charge right now so I got excited.

To me this reads like some star trek geek trying to explain sci-fi tech. Yup that gravity drive works using radioactive diamonds.
Btw, I'm a star wars geek, we call those radioactive diamonds Kyber crystals.

These diamonds are probably the equivalent of what us Star Trek geeks would call Dilithium Crystals. Seems like a logical bridge from Lithium batteries to Dilithium Crystals/nuclear diamonds to me. Although clearly, having Kyber/Dilithium crystals in the bike should enable both light sabers and phasers on my Alta (to eliminate trail obstacles and track rivals), along with Map 5 (Warp drive)!
