From the wiki: "It is a betavoltaic technology, using a radioactive gas, whose "soft" emission of electrons from the beta emitting gas cannot penetrate the glass or polymer wall of the microspheres."
Great! Paint your bike with this stuff and become Dr. Bruce Banner. I can just see the next run in with a PO'd motorist. PO'd Motorist: Get off the $%#!@ road! Bicyclist: Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. |

it's from the same inventor I'm guessing it's the genII material, it's referrenced in the R&D section of the glopaint site

don't hold your breath
this stuff catches fire, it releases radioactive particles which if inhaled will definitely cause cancer. alpha emitters will cause cancer when inhaled, this stuff emits beta so don't get your hopes up. cool invention but there are a lot of regulatory hurdles. completely harmless product, until it gets in a fire. then it is a toxic zone. no one can even ship the stuff, no one can store it. so how can you get some ? |
I wonder if they can make a version that emits heat rather than light? Imagine the applications in the winter-apparel industry!
