A photon power cell has at least one photo-electric cell (10), one or more layers of filter glass (15) and a radioactive-energised fluorescent material (20) which produces photons that are converted into electrical energy by the photo-electric cell (10). The photo-electric cell (10) may be a standard solar cell silicon wafer (14) with coatings (12) of phosphorus applied to the surface of the wafer (10). The layer of filter glass (15) contains lead, gold and/or graphite to protect the PN junction of the solar cell (10) from unwanted radioactive particles from the radioactive-energised fluorescent material (20), while being transparent to photons within a required frequency spectrum to produce a photo-electric effect. A plurality of solar cells (10) may be arranged in a stack interposed between layers or coatings of the radioactive-energised fluorescent material (20) to provide power cells which can power electric devices such as from mobile telephones to electric vehicles for several years.
A photon power cell comprising at least one photo electrical cell and a radioactive-energised fluorescent material, wherein photons from the radioactive-energised material are converted into electrical energy by the photo-electric cell, wherein the photo-electric cell includes at least one layer of filter material which is substantially transparent to photons within a required frequency spectrum to produce a photo-electric effect, but which absorbs radioactive particles from the radioactive-energised fluorescent material.
A photon power cell comprising at least one photo-electric cell and a radioactive-energised fluorescent material, wherein photons from the radioactive-energised fluorescent material are converted into electrical energy by the photon-electric cell, and the radioactive fluorescent material comprises a chemical-radioactive fluorescent material which is uranium-fluoride based.
A photon power cell comprising at least one photo-electric cell and a radioactive-energised fluorescent material, wherein photons from the radioactive-energised fluorescent material are converted into electrical energy by the photo-electric cell, and wherein the radioactive-energised fluorescent material comprises a light fluorescent in fluid form which is pumped into the power cell when power is required and pumped out of the power cell when the cell is not in use.
