Seminar presentation on nuclear batteriesPratik Patil
This seminar presentation discusses nuclear batteries as a portable energy source. It covers why nuclear batteries are needed due to limitations of chemical batteries and other power sources. The presentation provides a brief history of nuclear batteries and defines key terms. It describes the energy production mechanisms of betavoltaics and direct charging generators. The presentation discusses considerations for nuclear fuel selection and applications of nuclear batteries in space, medical, mobile and underwater uses. It outlines advantages such as long lifespan and reduced waste, as well as challenges including high production costs and regulatory issues.
Nuclear batteries offer a compact, lightweight, and self-contained power source that can last for decades without needing replacement like chemical batteries. They generate electricity through the emissions from radioactive isotopes without relying on nuclear reactions, avoiding radioactive waste. Betavoltaics uses the energy from beta particles emitted by a radioactive gas to generate electron-hole pairs in silicon, producing an electric current. Direct charging generators sustain oscillations in an LC circuit through energy absorbed from alpha particles decaying in the circuit's core, delivering excess energy to a load. While nuclear batteries have applications in space, medical devices, mobile electronics, and sensors, their high initial cost and need to meet radiation safety standards must first be addressed.
Space-based solar power (SBSP) is the concept of collecting solar power in space (using an "SPS", that is, a "solar-power satellite" or a "satellite power system") for use on Earth.It has been in research since the early 1970s. SBSP would differ from current solar collection methods in that the means used to collect energy would reside on an orbiting satellite instead of on Earth's surface.

It provides an overview of the history of wireless power transmission dating back to Nikola Tesla's experiments in the late 1890s. It then discusses key concepts such as how solar power satellites would collect solar energy in space via photovoltaic cells and transmit it to rectennas on Earth via microwave beams to be converted back to electricity. While the technology faces challenges including potential health effects and interference issues, the document concludes that with further development and support, solar power satellites could become a viable new source of clean energy by harvesting the sun's power in space.
The terms atomic battery, nuclear battery, tritium battery and radioisotope generator are used to describe a device which uses energy from the decay of a radioactive isotope to generate electricity. Like nuclear reactors they generate electricity from atomic energy, but differ in that they do not use a chain reaction.
wireless power transmission via solar power satellitechingaro
Wireless energy transfer uses magnetic fields or microwaves to transmit electricity between two objects over short or long distances without wires. Nikola Tesla pioneered this concept in the late 1890s by transmitting energy wirelessly over 40 km. While promising for reducing transmission losses, challenges remain for large-scale adoption including high costs and potential health effects. Space-based solar power satellites aim to overcome some issues by collecting solar energy in space for wireless transmission to Earth.

HOW THE GOVERNMENT OF BRAZIL CAN MAKE THE ENERGY SECTOR SUSTAINABLE.pdfFaga1939
This article aims to demonstrate how the government of Brazil can make the energy sector sustainable in order to collaborate in the fight against global warming and to bequeath the existing energy resources in the country to future generations. According to the International Energy Agency, oil, natural gas and coal are the energy sources most responsible for the emission of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In the world, the use and production of energy are responsible for 57% of the emission of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In Brazil, the energy sector is responsible for 21% of greenhouse gas emissions. The electricity sector in Brazil has 19.7% of energy sources based on fossil fuels (natural gas, petroleum derivatives and coal and derivatives) and 2.2% of energy sources based on nuclear power plants. In turn, Brazil's energy matrix as a whole has 53.3% of energy sources based on fossil fuels (oil and derivatives, natural gas and mineral coal) and 1.3% are energy sources based on nuclear power plants. For Brazil's energy sector to be sustainable, all these energy sources based on fossil fuels and nuclear power plants must be replaced by renewable energy sources (hydro, solar, wind, tidal, wave, biomass and hydrogen).
The document discusses Brazil's energy sector and the need for a sustainable energy policy. It analyzes the electric, petroleum, and natural gas sectors in Brazil. The results point to adopting a new energy policy heavily based on renewable energy like wind and solar to replace plans for large hydroelectric dams, fossil fuels, nuclear power, and other non-renewable sources. The policy would help avoid environmental and social problems while promoting sustainable development.
Canada's energy policies have been increasingly shaped by environmental considerations. Laws like the Renewable Fuels Strategy and Energy Efficiency Act have promoted renewable energy and reduced emissions. However, the document suggests Canada's primary motivations may have been energy security and economic factors rather than just environmental protection. While partnerships with the US have improved efficiency and supported emission targets, they also helped secure Canada's economic relationship and growth. Overall, while environmental issues have contributed to Canada's energy strategies, concerns over trade, security and economic impacts may have been equally or more influential drivers of policy changes.
