The concept of such a long-lasting battery was created by Russian scientists Rosatom state corporation, and specifically its units of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Mining and Chemical Combine”. As the head of his Peter assured Gavrilov, by 2017 such a battery will be ready, at least least, its first sample will appear, perhaps even somewhat earlier.
The source in this mini-battery will enter “nickel-63” – a radioactive isotope of nickel that will allow the battery to work, at least fifty years old. Moreover, unlike modern The new battery will not only be much more long-playing – and in its dimensions it will set a real record in miniature. And do not be afraid that this battery works on atomic energy, the principle of its operation is similar photoelectric effect with a small difference in the replacement of photons by beta particles. Beta radiation is so weak that it doesn’t goes outside, and is absorbed by the process itself inside mini battery.

Scientists promise to make nuclear battery available to everyone
It seems that what’s the matter, such a cool battery, about which you can only dream! However, the cost of such a mini-battery in the same 2017, approximately four to five million rubles. Therefore, use a nuclear battery at first it will be possible only in the space or medical industry, in high-tech and energy-intensive areas. But when similar batteries will be available in everyday life, what millions are dreaming of users of mobile gadgets, and desktop computers, for now Hard to say.
At least the creators of this unique battery claim that will work on this issue to contribute to changing the world for the better. And as you know, human capabilities inventiveness is endless. It is possible that in the near future time in Russia will appear not only similar, cheap, besides more compact, longer-lasting battery – affordable to every man in the street. At least – everything goes to that …
