The nuclear diamond battery is based on the fact that when a man-made diamond is exposed to radiation, it produces a small electric current. According to the researchers, this makes it possible to build a battery that has no moving parts, gives off no emissions, and is maintenance-free.

#DiamondBattery ideas

Use as personally identifiable jewellery. Like a key fob or something.

We could put them in devices that like to draw power when not in use. They could use these batteries to do that instead of drawing from the grid. We have a lot of nuclear waste, LET'S GO NUTS!

How about a diamond encrusted electric car, when it ran out of power the diamonds could give it just enough energy to get to the charging station!
