<p>A nuclear battery, (B<SUB>N</SUB>), including a radioactive capacitor, (C<SUB>N</SUB>) , having a first electrode and second electrode. The first electrode and second electrodes are parallel to each other and define a gap, (d<SUB>g</SUB>), therebetween. A tritium loaded thin film (3) is disposed on the first electrode, thereby extending into said gap, (d<SUB>g</SUB>). The second electrode is a counter metal electrode. The radioactive tritium decays on the first electrode causing the radioactive capacitor, (C<SUB>N</SUB>), to charge quickly to a high voltage. The radioactive material provides extended battery life because of the 12.3 year half-life of tritium.</p> |
