Unfortunately, at least semiconductor-based betavoltaic battery efficiencies are pretty low-- a tritium-silicon battery has an efficiency of about 7-8%, but can realistically be improved to ~10% or better. Nickel-63 throws those electrons a lot harder than tritium does, as well-- hard enough to damage semiconductors. Another technique is to use a conventional lithium-ion battery charged by a lower-powered betavoltaic battery, to work around the relatively low power density of betavoltaics (~1 milliwatt per cubic centimeter) while taking advantage of their high energy density (100 watt-hours per cubic centimeter-- wowza!).

What fraud?

You people act like everyone is just trying to get funding for impossible things. Some scientists are upstanding, you know.

The work that Betavoltaic is doing might be a solution to this problem. They seem to be making batteries that will last almost forever.

Betavoltaic

This guy freaks out if you link to his site and say anything bad about his "technology" at all. Just watch, he will be here in 10 minutes ranting and raving and looking for people to sue.

This is almost as cool as the reasearch being done at Betavoltaic. I hear the betavolt people are getting NASA funding too. I really hope we see some of the results of all this great research.

And, if you don't believe them ask Alex Ignatiev who is on the Technical Team.

Michael McDonnough has demonstrated once again that we do indeed have the technological advancement to go into space with field dependent drive systems that are clean, efficient, and fast. By fast where talking about 29,900kps. with up to 1,440,000lbs. of thrust available using power systems and superconductors that exist right now.

All we have to do is exploit the systems described in his book and in the disclosed patents to be on par with other advanced space fairing worlds. The fact is you will not look at spacecraft development in the same way after reading his book. He leaves little doubt that our government has, and is developing these types of systems in secret, up till know at least.

After reading this book you may be wondering how we could have been so deceived so completely for so many years. After reading the patents and the authors investigative reasoning you will know more about how human engineered UFO's might operate than you may have ever expected possible without very high level security clearance.

You may, or may not believe in outer space alien craft but at least after reading this book you will understand the technology and the probable reasoning behind the cover-up of mankind's venture into the technical area of Field Drive Spacecraft Systems.

This guy isn't the only one running a venture capital scam promising high tech payoffs.

Check out Betavoltaic This guy that is the CEO has a long history of pseudoscience, and some of his officers worked on "perpetual motion machines", all of which needed a DC power source to run.

Posting anonymously to avoid the wrath of that asshole that runs the place. He likes to sue people to quiet them down about his scam.

Speaking of perpetual motion idiots, check out betavoltaic

The people that are on the board of directors have a long history of pseudoscience. They are seeking funding in nevada. Spread the word so no one falls for this scam.
