Litroenergy glows for 12 years with no energy source

litro-energy.jpgLitroenergy is a new material capable of glowing in the dark for at least 12 continuous years. You don’t even have to expose it to a light source. It’s made up of millions of micro spheres (creatively titled Litrospheres), glass polymer globes that contain a beta ray–emitting, radioactive gas. Don’t head for the fallout shelter quite yet. The radiation can’t penetrate the glass it’s contained in.
>The material is unaffected by heat or cold and can resist a crush load
of 5,000lbs. Capable of being injection molded into plastic or added to
paint, Litroenergy’s applications are virtually limitless. It glows
with the power of a 20watt incandescent bulb and can emit almost any
color of light.

We foresee it being used on helmets and other
safety gear, or even in bike paint. Imagine how visible you’d be at
night if, in addition to your headlights, your entire body and bike
were aglow. It would also make an excellent material for road markings,
increasing visibility in bad weather. MPK, the company that developed
Litroenergy, is currently seeking sufficient investment to bring the
technology to market.

    Update on the technology:
    20+ Year New Electrical Power Source – Litroenergy Power Cells

    The 2007 NASA Tech Brief’s award winning light source from MPK CO. was just disclosed in this years contest to create electricity when applied to solar cells. Versatile, abundant and low cost electrical energy – this can power micro devices, electric car, homes, etc. Green Tech the world needs today!

    The technology aims to replace batteries, generating low-cost electricity for everything from micro devices to utility applications has groundbreaking implications and has potential to turn the battery business upside down.

    Litroenergy is made from litrospheres, which are self-illuminating micro particles that, when they are placed on or sandwiched between solar cells, generate electricity. The light-emitting microparticles are not affected by heat or cold and can be used in sheet form for easy application on solar cells.

    “The many novel, versatile and far reaching applications/benefits for low cost on-going durable, solid state power generation without using any additional resources and being extremely environmentally friendly has ground breaking implications for our energy consuming world.”
