Abstract:
Natural nuclear decay of radioactive elements forms the Earth’s background radiation, which envelopes all living things. In some places, concentrated deposits of radioactive decay elements forms what is called low level radiation. This is the case when extracting and processing rare earth elements. Of power sources of a high energy value for the creation of electrical power for the industrial economic benefit of ever larger populations of people. Only the nuclear fission branch of nuclear energy has been achieved for levels of electrical power generation sufficient for those levels of human economic growth. Yet all this power generated for massive, ever growing human wealth, has its origins in the natural properties of these tiny little, out of sight out of mind sub, atomic particles. The simplest low energy, nuclear battery, harnesses the products of the natural decay process of radioactive elements. Where these decay products are of opposing electrical charge, the manipulation of these opposing electrical charged sub atomic particles, allows a controlled electron flow sufficient to produce a working electrical current. With the electrical attractive force of the negative charged beta (electron) particle {x2}, to the opposite dual positive charged alpha particle, causing the two sub atomic particles to combine into the neutrally charged, stable, full outer, valance shell, noble gas Helium.
