Re: Plutonium Powered Pacemaker
What a lovely battery in post #20. I would have really liked to have built a small transistor low power AM radio with these. The chance of getting a working battery like this now, would be zero.

Re: Plutonium Powered Pacemaker
A lot of good things have come out of the Nuclear Industry, the batteries that run the two Voyagers for instance.
Interestingly one of the treatments for enlarged Prostate/Prostate cancer is grain of rice sized radioactive isotopes inserted direct into the prostate gland. An idea I quite like As long as they are not U235/8 variants as I really don't want people digging me up in 700 million/4.5 billion years saying "ere did you know this guy had prostate cancer in 2019" John Last edited by John Caswell; 21st Feb 2019 at 10:04 am.
