"California company NDB says its nano-diamond batteries will absolutely upend the energy equation,

acting like tiny nuclear generators.

They will blow any energy density comparison out of the water,

lasting anywhere from a decade to 28,000 years without ever needing a charge.

They will offer higher power density than lithium-ion.

They will be nigh-on indestructible and totally safe in an electric car crash.

And in some applications, like electric cars,

they stand to be considerably cheaper than current lithium-ion packs despite their huge advantages."

Did you order one George? Too good to be true? Or game breaker?

My thoughts exactly Don.

If it's fake news it's a real good believable story.

and yes this would be a real game changer....not to mention a source to get rid of

spent radio active material. I'm surprised the media hasn't picked up on this story.

There is testing being done,so who knows where this will go.

If real,what a place to throw a few dollars in investment...

Pleasanton-based green energy startup NDB, Inc. has reached a key milestone today

with the completion of two proof of concept tests of its nano diamond battery (NDB) .

One of these tests took place at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory,

and the other at the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University,

and both saw NDBs battery tech manage a 40% charge,

which is a big improvement over the 15% charge collection efficiency

(effectively energy lossiness relative to maximum total possible charge)

of standard commercial diamond.
