Power-Cells
The
betavoltaic cell is a concept power-supply currently under
development by Betavoltaic, Inc. While a betavoltaic cell
is not the only option for advanced Lifter power-supplies,
if offers the incredible potential benefits of safe, clean
electricity with an extraordinarily high power to weight
ratio. click

Information
Betavoltaic,
Inc. - The concept for
the betavoltaic power-cell grew out of the research into
the high voltage requirements of electro-gravitational devices
by Michael McDonnough.
McDonnough
has expanded his vision of the betavoltaic cell as an inexpensive,
high-output power-supply for many different kinds of electronics
devices -- not just those requiring high-voltages.
Betavoltaic.com
is dedicated to researching this technology and providing
energy solutions that are long-term and environmentally
friendly. Click

Environmental
- The betavoltaic cell
was designed from the start to be environmentally friendly,
and because the isotopes it uses are electronically pumped
for efficiency, they are inert when the cell runs out of
power. This eliminates the possibility of toxic or radioactive
waste.
A
thick epoxy shield also doubly prevents the chemical components
of these cells from entering groundwater or poisoning wildlife.
Additionally,
the long life-span of these devices means that fewer of
them need to be sold than regular batteries -- thereby eliminating
needless waste due to inefficiency.

The Betavoltaic Benefits
The
Betavoltaic cell was initially desgined to meet the high-voltage,
high-current draw requirements of electric-spacecraft --
especially those that use the Biefeld-Brown effect. One
of the intrinsic advantages of the Betavoltaic design is
that the standard operating voltage is between 100kV and
1.5 million kV in potential -- which offers a much easier
way to power a commercial lifter than having to convert
up from a lower voltage.
The
Betavoltaic cell offers not only the optional advantage
of high-voltage power, but it also lasts for a prolonged
period of time. Because of a revolutionary method of electronically
pumping the isotopic components, the betavoltaic cell is
capable of producing peak power for anywhere from 10 to
30 years of continuous use.
Betavoltaic
cells are also capable of being produced to offer lower-voltages
in order to more easily integrate into existing electronic
devices, which offers the possibility of using smaller cells
to provide indefinite on-board power. To learn more, visit
