i bet duracell are bricking themselves

[Tumble]

bout time too really... the question you got to ask is how long has this sort of thing been able to be done...

[poindextermatic]

I guess they have had the theory for a long time...
Same thing with electric V's fuel powered car...could happen, but no one has really bothered trying to make a proper go of it. Why not?

They like us to consume!

I'm guessing these will be expensive for a long time too.

Ive seen them before, ages ago. The changes of seeing them soon are unlikely, IMO.

they have batteries that last for thousands of years, and light bulbs, but cheaper and to make ones that break, and they make more money from them

Thats amazing! I study nuclear physics, and I'm surprised it took them 50years to figure it out! lol. As long as they keep using Tritium Isotopes and not Uranium Isotopes, else we'll all mutate.

They look good... Won't see them here for years though.

Would these be powerful enough for mobile devices e.g laptops?

It'd be amazing if they were.. Such an improvement.

[Timmy!!!]

Yea until you have to buy replacements that is, my gosh that would be expensive. Laptops would become disposable lol.

Well, according to that article, they're only suitable for low power devices such as sensors etc..

[Swafe]

No reason why they cant be made bigger... or into a battery as opposed to a cell, surely?
