1. Radioactive batteries
The problem of getting charged out while outdoors and the hassle of carrying the charger every time you move out will be sorted by this radioactive battery.This tiny cell is developed at the University of Missouri. The researchers say that it is the cheaper and long lasting alternative to conventional selenium batteries.These cells contain with certain amounts of sulfur 35. This element breaks down slowly into radioactive electrons. These electrons will then get converted to electricity by the selenium semiconductor that surrounds the sulfur at the center of these batteries. Although smaller quantities of power could be generated as of now, due to limited quantities of radioactive materials within the cell, it is sure to get sorted out with the introduction of liquid of higher density in the coming days.
