What’s That In Your Pocket? Oh, Just My Nuclear Powered Cell Phone.

This week on “Techie Tuesday”, ManVBlog explores the world of Nuclear Batteries and the idea of harnessing nuclear energy for use in such devices as your cell phone, mp3 player, or that remote control stealth bomber with nuclear weapon add-on so you too can capture your own country. (Buy HERE … though no nuclear weapon add-on for sale yet.)

You’re probably asking, won’t I get radiation poisoning if I buy one of these nuclear batteries and use it in my cell phone? Don’t worry. If you have been using a cell phone, you’ve already been exposed to radiation, so you might as well make sure that your cell battery won’t die for at least 10-20 years as you slowly becoming radioactive with a slight hint of green glow.

But, fret not! They aren’t quite available yet, much to my dismay. I mean, who wouldn’t want a nuclear battery just ready to overheat in your pocket? At least it wouldn’t self-combust like those Dell laptops…

Unfortunately, and I say this with a VERY heavy heart, these batteries are being extensively worked on at the University of Missouri… (You don’t know how hard that was to type that “college”.) For the full article and more details about it, you can CLICK HERE or you can take my word on it.

I’m going to be checking eBay constantly for these things though, so when I get one (unless I find a nuclear physicist, an electrical engineer, and anyone else from the University of Kansas that wants to beat that “other” school first…), I’ll report back on just how much afterglow I have, and not in the good way, if you know what I mean.
