You may no longer need to charge your smartphone thrice a day, err, years!

NDB, a company based in California has developed a self-charging battery which could last for an eternity, or at least 28,000 years on a single charge.

They did it by ‘trapping’ carbon-14 nuclear waste in an artificial diamond-case.

NDB claims that the battery can be used to power an array of things: electric vehicles, cellular devices, tablets, watches, laptops, camera, monitors, sensors, etc. The utility of this battery is vast.

The company claims the battery is totally safe, for it is coated with a non-radioactive diamond which prevents leakage.

How does it work?

The battery generates electricity within itself. This is achieved due to the electrons which are formed due to radioactive elements in the diamond case.

According to media reports, the company is aiming to make the battery even last longer than 28,000 years, to enable its usage in computer chips and very small devices.

By further using an even purer estimation of carbon-14, the company may be able to achieve this.

According to the company, it would cost $100 billion to dispose of 33 million cubic metres of nuclear waste generated around the world. Radioactive waste is not economical to store and process at all.

Over time, NBD intends to use the battery to power homes, with plans to sell extra electricity to the grid.

Additionally, it may bring relief in healthcare as well. For instance, pacemakers and implants may run on this battery, eliminating the need for regular changing of the battery.

The question here is, are you ready to live a recharge free life?

Batteries and flashlights maker Eveready Industries Thursday reported a multi-fold decline in standalone net profit to Rs 19.71 lakh in the third quarter ended December 31, hit by the cost of separation workers at Chennai plant.

The company had posted a standalone net profit of Rs 20.94 crore in the same quarter last fiscal, Eveready Industries said in a regulatory filing.

Total income during the period under review stood at Rs 387.81 crore as against Rs 373.8 crore in the year-ago quarter, it added.

Eveready Industries said it incurred Rs 23.21 crore in the voluntary retirement scheme for workmen (VRS) at its manufacturing facility at Tiruvottiyur, in Chennai.

The VRS was completed during the quarter and after its completion, the company had in December agreed to sell the land to Alwarpet Properties Pvt Ltd for Rs 100 crore.

The company said it has received Rs 25 crore during the quarter, as per payment terms of the sale agreement.

The recurring annualised savings following the VRS is around Rs 15 crore, it added.

During the third quarter, the company said its battery volume grew by 6.2 per cent.

"This growth seems to be a heartening turnaround in context of some signs of slow-down in dumped imports from China...," it said.

The turnover for lighting segment for the quarter stood at Rs 88.1 crore, down around 11 per cent, partially due to supply constraints as well as unit price decrease in bulbs, it said.
