content: HiI know some Youtube Video who some people stuck some Tritium Tubes on a Solar Cell and the got some small Voltage out of it. The use just one Colour and 2 Solar Cells. So does anyone (here) try different colour and different Solar Cell Types?Maybe there is a better setup?Thanks

content: Yes, knowing what wavelength, your solar panel would adsorb the best, would help aid I choosing the color.But why would you...it's practically, just nothing more than an experiment. Batteries are miles better, thus no one is wasting time on what's a "kid's grade time-pass".

content: I would say Tritium are one.How does the one work on Space Probes, Vehickel? Are the "just" one with Peltier Elements?

content: Just google "10 year battery". You'll get hundreds of results, most of them for smoke alarms.

content: Sorry to bring up a zombie thread but 'diamond nuclear batteries'area thing. Broadly, they usenuclear decay (from nuclear waste) encapsulated in a man-made diamondto run abetavoltaic converterand produce electricity. They are small and the power output is feeble but it lasts a loooong time - the specs talk about an energy output of 31MJ "over the first 5,700 years", which I take as implying it'll last longer than that.Imagine opening up a forgotten chamber in an ancient pyramid and finding the lights still on...Original source here.Wikipedia has a good articleand there are manyother sources.

That you can't charge a phone with one?(Sorry, if he would just cut to the chase at the start andthendo his takedown rant... he's supposed to be a scientist and all their papers open with an executive summary so you don't waste half your life imprisoned by someone's ego just to get the money shot.)

Like you say, twenty minutes of him telling us how clever he is, how he's 'totally owned' X, Y and Z, and then finally the meat, with a 50% chance that there's a huge gaping hole in his logic or he attacks a strawman use case that is not the one that is being proposed/claimed.
