Suggestion: Nuclear Mod

This is a great Idea but it would have to be in a different catagory for the FDA. As a quit smoking device and it has to be in a bigger proportion. Of course wepons grade uranium, or is it plutonium, is kind of hard to come by and once we get rid of that heavy protective lead housing. You could have a perfect stop smoking device ... After three weeks your hair starts to fall out then your wife complains that she can't sleep with you glowing all the time then you stop smoking. Then they can plant you...LMAO I'm sure ASH would take credit for that...

ISTRONG: Just kidding but I would imagine that the batteries are kinda costly and probably would not hold up to the use. But if you can come up with some more information it might be worth a look at

As I understand it, the current is pitiful for the size, but the longevity and total power output is insane. Like, you start with a cell the size of a soda can, it only puts out 250mW or so, but 500 years from now it will still be putting out 125mW, whether you've been using it or not, and generated close to 1MWh (Mega Watt hour) worth of electricity in the meantime.

It's not really a battery as much as it's a nuclear fuel cell extracting power directly from radioactive decay. Efficiency is crap (fraction of 1%), but there's so much effective energy in radioactive decay you can still do something useful with it.
