Patent ID: 7488889

Claim:
A layered battery comprising: a housing having a first end and a second end; a nuclear core energy source sheet comprising a P layer and an N layer sandwiching a plurality of nuclear-cored energy producing spheres in the form of a powder disposed within the housing; a first conductive lead that connects the sheet to the first end of the housing to form an anode; and a second conductive lead that connects the sheet to the second end of the housing to form an electrode, wherein each of said nuclear-cored energy producing spheres comprises: a spherical core of nuclear material; a ceramic phosphor layer surrounding the spherical core, said ceramic phosphor layer serving to shield radiation emitted from the core by absorbing said radiation and converting said radiation to photons; a photovoltaic layer surrounding said ceramic phosphor layer for converting said photons into a spherical flow of electrons; and a conductive material surrounding said photovoltaic layer.
