Alpha emitters
As someone who has intrest in this feild, I would like to ask a question. Would an alpha emmiter (like plutonium 238) work instead of the beta emmiters (like strontium 90). Polonium 01:38, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It would work if the particles can be kept small enough, as alpha radiation is effectively shielded by a few micrometers of solid material. Icek 11:27, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Gaseous radionuclides
Is it possible to use an emitter such as Kr-85, which is a gas? Stirrer would be unnecessary, and it would be much safer in case of containment breach. It does emit 10% of its energy as gamma, but perhaps it could be shielded underground for stationary applications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.183.95.122 (talk) 23:31, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Modification to tritium GTLS battery
Hi, a while back I looked into this.

At the time it was evident that a modification might be to use the lenses from a Myvu display combined with a (coincidentally) identical sized chip from a phlatlight red LED out of a Casio projector. It turns out that the reason for this not working is due to anti-static mitigation. I subsequently determined by experiment that the older chips with fewer bond wires are better, and these can be identified by using a magnifier without removing the actual diode from its housing.

Unfortunately wasn't able to legally source the tritium vials needed as they had been recycled a long time earlier due to approaching the half life with the anticipation of getting more as and when needed. In principle it would be a viable option to use optical grease as an interconnect, as this would permit replacement of the sources when needed in 5 years.

I should probably write a paper on this as the theoretical principles can be used with ZnS:Cu as well, and make a viable optical battery charged up with either daylight or a dedicated tuned LED possible. Please be nice and if someone makes this work at least mention my contribution(s) in their patent application. 88.81.156.140 (talk) 07:26, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
