     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention relates to an energy pack and, more particularly, to a radium power pack for use as an alternate energy source. 
     Radium is an earth metal and all isotopes of radium are radioactive. It has a half-life of approximately 1600 years. Radium is known to be luminescent and was formerly used in self-luminous paints for watches and clocks. 
     Alternative energy sources for powering appliances and other electronics in and around the home are well-known, such as gas and solar generators. These alternative energy sources have become popular because they can be used for power in the event of power loss in the home or other emergency situation. These alternative energy sources, however, are dependent on gas (in the case of the gas generator) and sunlight (in the case of the solar generator), which causes these alternative energy sources to be severely time-limited in effectiveness. 
     It would therefore be desirable to develop a power pack for use as an alternative energy source that is capable of providing long-lasting energy. 
     BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention is comprised of a power pack comprising a solar cell panel; a first plate, wherein said first plate is comprised of radium; and a second plate, wherein said second plate is a carbon crystal plate; said solar cell panel, said first plate, and said second plate positioned in an encasement. 
     The present invention is also comprised of a system for generating power comprising a first plate comprised of radium, wherein light is emitted from said first plate; a second plate, wherein said second plate is a carbon crystal plate and wherein said light passes through said carbon crystal plate; and a solar cell panel, wherein said light is received by said solar cell panel and said solar cell panel converts the energy from said light to electrical energy. 
     These and other features, objects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood from a consideration of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments and appended claims in conjunction with the drawings as described following:

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     The power pack  10  is comprised of a solar cell panel  12 , a carbon crystal plate  14 , a radium plate  16 , and an encasement  18 . 
     The carbon crystal plate  14  is positioned between the solar cell panel  12  and radium plate  16 . Light can be transmitted through the carbon crystal plate  14 . Carbon crystal plate  14  preferably is a diamond carbon crystal plate. 
     The radium plate  16  is positioned adjacent to the carbon crystal plate  14 . The radium plate  16  is comprised of melted concentrated radium. As characteristic of radium, the radium plate emits light. 
     A cyclotron separator containing radium yields the concentrated radium that comprises the radium plate  16 . The greater the revolutions per minute (RPM) of the cyclotron separator, the greater the concentration of radium. The candlelight power of the radium is directly dependent on the concentration of radium. In other words, the greater the concentration of radium, the greater the candlelight power of the radium. 
     The solar cell panel  12 , also known as a photovoltaic cell, is positioned adjacent to the carbon crystal plate  14 . The solar cell panel  12 , which is of the type well-known to those skilled in the art, is an electric device that converts light energy into electricity based on the photovoltaic effect. 
     The encasement  18  is comprised of a top plate  20  and a bottom plate  22 . The top plate  20  and bottom plate  22  are comprised of ceramic material and beryllium. The beryllium comprises the outside surface of the top plate  20  and bottom plate  22 . The ceramic material is attached to the beryllium and comprises the inside surface of the top plate  20  and bottom plate  22 . Because of their composition, the inventor believes that top plate  20  and bottom plate  22  is effective to shield and absorb the radiation emitted from the radium plate  16 . The top plate  20  and bottom plate  22  fully encases the radium plate  16 , carbon crystal plate  14 , and solar cell panel  12 . 
     The light emitted from the radium plate  16  passes through the carbon crystal plate  14  and is received by the solar cell panel  12 . The solar cell panel  12  converts the light energy to electricity. The greater the light energy emitted from the radium plate  16 , the more electricity produced by the power pack  10 . 
     The power pack  10  is preferably six inches in length, six inches in height, and one inch in width. The relatively small size of the power pack  10  makes it easily transportable. In one embodiment, the power pack  10  supplies DC power. In that embodiment, the encasement  18  comprises a positive and negative terminal  24 , and accompanying lead wires for transferring power to an electric-powered device, such as a lighting device  26 . In another embodiment, the power pack  10  is capable of supplying AC power and the encasement  18  comprises one or more two- or three-prong electrical outlets for plugging in electric-powered devices to the radium power pack  10 . Though the connection between the radium power pack  10  and the electric-powered device, sufficient electricity is transferred from the radium power pack  10  to power the electric-powered device. 
     The present invention has been described with reference to certain preferred and alternative embodiments that are intended to be exemplary only and not limiting to the full scope of the present invention as set forth in the appended claims.
