Tiny Nuclear Batteries to Power Micro Devices

Have you ever seen a nuclear battery? Typical chemical batteries are the basic ones. In your remote is there a small nuclear battery with tritium. Believe it or not its here and has a semiconductor that harvests electrons.Although it won't power your laptop or ipod it is being developed by betavoltaics. This is actually a microwatt but it is one step closer to the future. A green world can help especially if we can figure out how to harness more energy. This actually happens to have an effect on the military. In theory betavoltaics is the main energy source and if we can expand it we will have a great future.
