We have so many electronic devices that run on a battery. It requires recharging at least once a day when in constant use. What if a battery that doesn’t require charging were invented? That would sound too good to be true, but it might be possible. That is the claim made by NDB about a new battery technology that utilizes nuclear waste material to generate electrons for thousands of years.
我们有很多依靠电池运行的电子设备。 经常使用时，每天至少需要充电一次。 如果发明了不需要充电的电池怎么办？ 这听起来太好了，难以置信，但这是可能的。 那是NDB的主张 关于一种利用核废料产生电子的新电池技术已有数千年的历史 。
The company has not yet invented the product, in fact the battery they describe does not yet exist in 2020. They are going to develop it using their own proof-of-concept after raising the funds. Their goal is to build a universal life-long self-charging green battery, for use with electric cars and other electronic devices. This could be disruptive, but it is best to look further into how such a battery is even possible or not possible at all.
该公司尚未发明该产品，实际上他们所描述的电池在2020年尚不存在。他们将在筹集资金后使用自己的概念验证来开发该产品。 他们的目标是制造一种通用的终身自充电绿色电池，用于电动汽车和其他电子设备。 这可能会造成破坏，但是最好进一步研究这种电池是什至不可能甚至根本不可能的。
According to a report, the proof-of-concept design was evaluated by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory which reported a 40% charge improvement in efficiency over diamond. The diamond is made from recycled carbon graphite from nuclear waste. The carbon is finished into a diamond that has become radioactive from nuclear energy production. This eventually, according to theory, creates a miniature power generator. It was not indicated how Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory tested the proof-of-concept, so it would be nice to see the official publication to corroborate the report.
根据一份报告 ，劳伦斯·利弗莫尔国家实验室(Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory)对概念验证设计进行了评估，该实验室的电荷效率比钻石高40％。 钻石是由核废料中回收的碳石墨制成的。 碳被加工成钻石，该钻石已从核能生产中变为放射性。 最终，根据理论，这将产生一个微型发电机。 没有显示劳伦斯·利弗莫尔国家实验室是如何测试概念验证的，所以很高兴看到官方出版物证实了该报告。
The question here is how does a tiny battery become self-charging?
这里的问题是微小的电池如何变成自充电的？
The main attraction to this battery is that it can last up to 28,000 years, no charging required. This is because of the material the battery is made from, Carbon-14 nuclear waste. It is a hazardous material to begin with, so it requires a careful process to create the Carbon-14 diamond for safe use. Once built, the battery would not emit any carbon emissions which makes it a source of green energy.
这种电池的主要吸引力在于它可以使用长达28,000年，无需充电。 这是因为电池是用Carbon-14核废料制成的。 首先，它是一种有害材料，因此需要仔细的过程来制造Carbon-14钻石才能安全使用。 一旦建成，电池将不会排放任何碳排放，这使其成为绿色能源。
The battery design is called DNV (Diamond Nuclear Voltaic). It uses a multi-layer stack arrangement to maximize efficiency for high energy output. While the diamond itself stores the charge, it uses a supercapacitor for high power output. This is the device that distributes the electricity to power a load connected to the circuit. To contain the nuclear radiation from the diamond, it is encased in another diamond layer made from non-radioactive, lab-created Carbon-12.
电池设计被称为DNV(钻石核伏特) 。 它使用多层堆栈结构来最大化效率以实现高能量输出。 钻石本身存储电荷时，它使用超级电容器实现高功率输出。 这是一种将电力分配给与电路相连的负载供电的设备。 为了抑制钻石产生的核辐射，将钻石包裹在另一个由实验室创造的非放射性Carbon-12制成的钻石层中。
The charge is from electrons that radiate from the nuclear material. As the carbon in the material decays, it emits electrons. By encasing it for safety, the material must be controlled to emit a charge. It must be fabricated with your usual anode and cathode to conduct electricity when a voltage is applied. It also uses a semiconductor for charge collection emitting from the diamond. The idea here is that the diamond will generate continuous electrons until it is expended. According to theory, that can take thousands of years to expend so it provides a source of non-rechargeable energy for consumers.
电荷来自核材料辐射的电子。 随着材料中碳的衰减，它会发射电子。 为了安全起见，必须对其进行控制以释放电荷。 它必须由通常的阳极和阴极制成，以在施加电压时导电。 它还使用半导体来收集钻石发出的电荷。 这里的想法是，钻石将产生连续的电子，直到被消耗为止。 根据理论，这可能需要花费数千年的时间，因此它为消费者提供了不可充电的能源。
Most of the claims have no hard evidence or proof yet, other than what NDB has reported. The NewAtlas website which published an article about the battery had to issue an August 27, 2020 update to report that these are still claims and not supported by scientific facts at the moment. NewAtlas then attempts an explanation of what the NDB might be capable of, but that is another story.
除了NDB报告的内容外，大多数索赔还没有确凿的证据。 NewAtlas 网站发布了有关电池的文章，该网站必须发布2020年8月27日的更新，以报告这些内容仍然是主张，目前尚不受科学事实的支持。 然后，NewAtlas尝试对NDB的功能进行解释，但这是另一回事了。
No battery is 100% efficient due to the law of conservation of energy. You cannot create power from nothing, it must exist in one form or another. Most of the energy is not converted to work, since there is a byproduct of waste. That is usually in the form of heat when it comes to batteries. NDB doesn’t fully explain what happens to the heat it generates during energy conversion other than to describe thermal vents to dissipate heat.
根据能量守恒定律，没有电池是100％有效的。 您不能一无所有地创造力量，它必须以一种或另一种形式存在。 由于存在废物的副产品，因此大部分能量无法转化为功。 当涉及电池时，通常以热的形式。 NDB除了描述散热Kong散热以外，还没有完全解释能量转换过程中产生的热量会发生什么。
Powering electric cars requires plenty of energy, and that is something that NDB has yet to demonstrate. Perhaps their batteries can be stacked together to get to that level of energy density when it comes to powering heavy workloads. Once again the challenge there is efficiency and thermal management. How the heat is dissipated and how the system is cooled will determine overall performance. That data is also lacking from NDB at the moment (as of this posting). There is not much data to analyze about the claims.
为电动汽车提供动力需要大量能量，这是NDB尚未证明的。 在为繁重的工作负载供电时，也许可以将它们的电池堆叠在一起以达到该水平的能量密度。 效率和热量管理再次成为挑战。 热量如何散发以及系统如何冷却将决定整体性能。 目前，NDB也缺少该数据(截至本文发布时)。 没有太多数据可用于分析索赔。
Never having to charge a smartphone again … bliss. 无需再为智能手机充电……幸福。The idea of self-charging batteries should not be dismissed, but take it with a grain of salt. There needs to be more data and an actual working prototype to legitimize a proof-of-concept. Tiny micro-devices already exist today that can run perpetually with little voltage to operate, so this battery might make the case for that. Yet they claim to be able to do much more than this. On their website they talk about aerospace, automobile, medical, consumer, military and industrial applications. That is a broad range of applications, it makes it sound like a solution worthy of investment.
自充电电池的想法不应该被摒弃，而应该带着一粒盐。 需要更多的数据和一个实际可用的原型来使概念验证合法化。 如今，已经存在微小的微型设备，这些微型设备可以在几乎没有电压的情况下永久运行，因此这种电池可以满足要求。 然而，他们声称能够做的不只是此事。 他们在他们的网站上谈论航空航天，汽车，医疗，消费，军事和工业应用。 那是广泛的应用程序，这听起来像是值得投资的解决方案。
Battery technology is continuously evolving and the trend is for higher energy density and higher efficiency to power devices. The challenge is to balance the amount of energy a battery can store without overheating or depleting too quickly. Most battery applications are used in consumer electronic gadgets like smartphones, but now there is a demand in the automobile sector for building electric cars. A battery that never needs charging will truly be disruptive if NDB can make one. That will then lead to the next challenge which is to manufacture devices that can support the new battery. Current systems will probably not be able to support it.
电池技术在不断发展，趋势是功率器件具有更高的能量密度和效率。 挑战在于如何平衡电池可存储的能量而不至于过热或耗尽。 大多数电池应用都用于智能手机等消费电子产品，但现在汽车领域对制造电动汽车有需求。 如果NDB可以制造一个永远不需要充电的电池，那将确实具有破坏性。 这将导致下一个挑战，那就是制造可以支持新电池的设备。 当前的系统可能无法支持它。
It could all be hype to get funding. That is why it is best to evaluate the phases of this project to see how it is doing. When the data is available and the prototype is built, we can pass further judgements. I won’t say whether this is going to work or not, but this reminds me of SpaceX. What made the project believable was the saying “to see is to believe”. When we saw the Falcon X landing vertically, it made us believe it can work for real world use. We often want visuals when it comes to proof and until we see something that works, the concept will remain just that … still a concept.
获得资金可能全是炒作。 这就是为什么最好评估该项目的各个阶段以了解其运行情况的原因。 当数据可用并构建了原型时，我们可以通过进一步的判断。 我不会说这是否行得通，但这让我想起了SpaceX。 使该项目令人信服的是“看到就是相信”这句话。 当我们看到猎鹰X垂直降落时，它使我们相信它可以在现实世界中使用。 当涉及到证明时，我们经常需要视觉效果，直到我们看到有用的东西为止，这个概念将保持不变……仍然是一个概念。
