Hi All,
have you heard yet of Litroenergy ?
Have a look at this :
http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:MPK_Co's_Litroenergy
and
http://www.glopaint.com
And listen to the radio interview that Sterling D. Allan did with with.
They said that they are already at 40 Watts light output
in light power range.
Does anybody know, what material they are using for the Beta-Emitter ?
Maybe it could also be used in a P-N- Semiconductor cell to generate
electricity on this scale ?
I hope they will soon sell these powders so we can try it on our own
designs.
I think this invention is much too important to patent it.
It must be open sourced so all peoples can benefit from it
and will not just be used by military or other industrial complexes.
Regards, Stefan.
Here are already some ready to buy products:

Many thanks to Koen for finding this product.
I think I am going to order one and test them out.
Regards, Stefan.

Also good to know: UnitedNuclear does not ship outside of the USA.
Few brief factoids about "Litroenergy":
- recently received Nasa prize for best durable and energy saving product
- the basic technology is not new, Tritium-based phosphorescent units
have been around for at least 30 years already. The innovation is that
they have managed to make them into tiny microspheres which are
of average powder size, and can now use that powder in plastics, paints, etc.
- though it is Tritium powered, it is claimed the radioactivity is blocked by
the container material and it is therefore safe to handle. Despite these assurances
from the producers, independant individuals have poked their Geiger-counters
into tritium-powered light sources and some of these still do appear to give
off radiation above the "negligible" limit. Still not terribly dangerous of course,
as there are trace amounts of radioactive materals all around us...
While the application of this technology for illumination is quite interesting in its own right, I can't help but to consider the "hackability" of the material. Heating or crushing the microspheres under vacuum would liberate the H3 and allow it to be collected. Although the quantity of gas yielded would be no doubt quite small, this represents a potential source of "over-the-counter" tritium. What to do with it? I don't know, but it warms my heart to know that I could lay my hands on some if i needed it.
no external power is good,10 years is good but y not in white

Yet another lighting of the future:

Super light is something way bigger than Litroenergy. I doubt we'll see any super light tech anytime soon. Not in this corrupt world and time at least.
Sure. And superhero abilities are way better than normal
human abilities.
But unlike "superlight" and superhero abilities,
Litroenergy is real and not just an interesting theoretical possibility.
Nothing theoretical about Tritium photoemitters, they are
in production right now.
Show me a working "superlight" light source and I may jump
on that bandwagon, but as long as it's only theoretical
and there's no working devices to prove superlight exists,
I'll stick with existing technology that works. ;)
By the way, Litroenergy is still not selling the paint,
probably still talking to Nasa about using it in power
souce applictions.
But Titium "tracers", "glow rods", and even mini torches
are available on the commercial market.
