Abstract

A manufacturing process of a nuclear cored battery having steps of processing a nuclear core, and creating a ceramic phosphor slurry material and combining them to form a homogenous mixture. The homogeneous mixture is then placed into a spray dryer in order to create a nuclear core surrounded by a temporary bound layer of mixed ceramics and then undergoes a high temperature manufacturing process wherein structural defects are added to create a light dissipating material. The light dissipating material is then coated with a photovoltaic material to create a spherical energy source that is in the form of a powder. This powder is then introduced into a P and N layer.

Claims (19)

1. A method of creating an energy source for a nuclear cored battery comprising the steps of:

providing a homogenous mixture comprised of a nuclear core, and a ceramic phosphor slurry;

subjecting the homogenous mixture to a thermal plasma process to create a layered light dissipating material; and

applying a photovoltaic layer to the light dissipating material.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of placing the layered light dissipating material between P and N layers.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising the step of connecting leads to the P and N layers.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein a homogenous mixture further comprises a temporary binder material.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein during the thermal plasma process a structural defect is added to the homogenous mixture.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the thermal plasma process includes the step of subjecting the homogenous mixture to a plasma spray of at least 2,000 centigrade for a period of time.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the photovoltaic layer is spray dried onto the light dissipating material.

8. A method of creating a nuclear cored battery comprising the steps of:

taking a homogenous mixture comprised of a nuclear core and a ceramic phosphor slurry,

heating the homogenous mixture to create a nuclear core surrounded by a layer of ceramics having an alumina structure;

subjecting the nuclear core surrounded by a layer of ceramics having an alumina structure to a thermal plasma process to create a layered light dissipating material;

applying a photovoltaic layer to the layered light dissipating material; and

placing the layered light dissipating material between P and N layers.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein a structural defect is added to the alumina structure during the thermal plasma process.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the defect is a carbon defect.

11. The method of claim 9 wherein the defect is a lanthide defect.
