#news #video: apparently the #Dead-Scientists-Mystery has claimed an 11th person
#video on #manufacturing a copy of NurdRage’s tritium-vial-powered power source with two amorphous solar cells from Digi-Key (11-AM-1456CA-DGK-E-ND), a pocket nuclear power plant. He measures the current by charging up an 11μF electrolytic, getting about 2.2V after about 10 minutes, which works out to about 40nA and on the order of 40-50nW. Open-circuit voltage seems to be about 2.8V when it’s cold in the morning.
The amorphous Panasonic solar cells that guy used for his pocket nuclear power plant cost US$2.4075 in quantity 40. #electronics #pricing
