Piezonuclear battery
Abstract
This patent describes a piezonuclear battery. It comprises: a radioactive material forming an emitting surface for particle emissions; acoustic wave generating means adjacent the emitting surface for receiving the emitted particles and interacting with the emitted particles to generate an acoustic wave; and piezoelectric means operably placed for receiving the acoustic wave and producing an output voltage with a predetermined polarity.
