elon musk just launched a game changer battery in partnership with ndb car batteries revolutionized
forever hi guys welcome to elon musk evolution today we will take a look at the new nuclear
battery being developed for tesla cars make sure to stick till the end of this video as we have
a lot to cover also don't forget to subscribe to our channel and like today's video it helps
us a long way how tesla helped usher in a new era in the global automobile industry
a new era for the global auto industry may have begun with tesla inc tslao meteoric rise
to the top spot as the most valuable car maker in the world this era will be characterized by
a silicon valley style software approach that will replace traditional manufacturing know-how
tesla's uprise has amazed many competitors but executives at daimler ag the parent company of
mercedes-benz were closely monitoring how tesla and its chief executive elon musk were adopting
a new approach to manufacturing vehicles that challenged the established system analysts began
to compare tesla to apple after it developed innovative manufacturing techniques software
designs and electronic architecture that allow it to introduce innovations faster than competitors
elon musk has been walking on the edge of a razor blade in terms of the aggression with which he
pushes some technologies said a former mercedes engineer conventional batteries versus ndb
batteries present a number of issues throughout the lifespan of our electronics as is the
refinement of these rare materials mining lithium and other components of the batteries we currently
use is a destructive filthy business these effects will spread to more of our untamed landscapes
as demand rises potentially having disastrous results when our batteries run out of power they
frequently rot in landfills along with the devices they powered our electronic waste is occasionally
shipped abroad where it is crudely salvaged or burned before ending up in the air and water
our old electronics are only partially recycled responsibly batteries would produce far less waste
if they didn't deteriorate so quickly is ndb safe for the environment i guess a logical question you
might well ask is whether or not these batteries are safe there's a stigma around anything to do
with nuclear power which is a potential roadblock to the adoption of this technology dr gol sharifi
thinks that this fear can be dealt with through education not many people know that most smoke
detectors contain radioactive material still they have them at home without any problem ndb has done
a lot of research to make sure that its batteries are secure enough to be used in items like phones
and automobiles ndb batteries don't emit any pollutants or dangerous radiation in numerous ways
diamond based nuclear batteries which are nearly unbreakable are probably safer than lithium-ion
batteries which have been known to catch fire and explode why investors favor tesla no points for
guessing the answer is very simple investors favor the tesla model in an industry experiencing fast
and revolutionizing change even though the us car maker will face an onslaught of competition
for electric vehicles from established automakers during the next few years
today tesla is worth about 304.6 billion dollars it is more than six times daimler's 41.5 billion
euro market capitalization you see tesla has proved to be a florence griffith joiner in the
race to build the greenest and most fun to drive electric vehicles all appreciation and respect for
the sight and continuous efforts of elon musk how elon musk modernized tesla under his supervision
tesla is one of the most significant automakers on the planet but getting there wasn't an easy
feat for the company engineers martin eberhard and mark tarpenning founded tesla in 2003.
elon musk the company's ceo is unquestionably its face but he wasn't one of its original founders a
revolution in the automobile industry ndb is a game changer is it the california-based startup
ndb has introduced a battery that uses nuclear waste and lasts up to 28 000 years the power of
the nanodiamond battery comes from radioactive isotopes utilized in nuclear reactors multiple
layers on synthetic diamonds one of the hardest materials to damage or break surround the
radioactive core to keep it safe through inelastic scattering the energy is taken up by the diamond
and used to create electricity it powered a power output of one uw for a power density of 10 uw per
centimeters cubed at these values its energy density would be approximately 3.3 wh per g
over its 100 year half-life about 10 times that of conventional electrochemical batteries
nano diamond batteries do not need to be recharged they last longer than the devices they would power
they are completely secure for use in consumer products these batteries will be manufactured
by using nuclear waste which costs almost nothing the radioactive decay-related energetic radiation
scatter and impart energy to the transducing materials together with the host the isotope can
produce electricity on its own a stack arrangement is made by attaching several single units
in the same way as a typical battery system these create a positive and negative contact surface
dear viewers hope you visualize future cars being so eco-friendly minimal dependent on fossil fuels
and with excellent battery optimization nema gol sharifi ceo and co-founder of ndb stated
as members of society we are extremely concerned about the welfare of the planet and are focused on
lowering climate change to protect our planet for future generations with the ndb battery we have
achieved a massive groundbreaking proprietary technological breakthrough of a battery that is
emission-free lasts thousands of years and only requires access to natural air in order to power
devices the company says the manufacturing of the first commercial prototype battery is presently
underway and will be available in the markets later this year is elon musk developing a tesla
car powered by nuclear energy elon musk enjoys making exciting claims and igniting and kindling
our interest in the cutting edge technologies he is developing online rumors currently suggest
that he will soon reveal electric vehicles powered by nuclear energy according to a number of youtube
channels including future unity and spacex live tesla is allegedly working on incorporating
batteries created by the california-based nano-diamond battery into its cars the fact
that these batteries are powered by radioactive waste makes them especially noteworthy because
they are said to be able to power a spaceship or hospital for a whopping 28 000 years without ever
needing to be recharged or replaced the company in 2021 claimed that it intends to start marketing
the battery to commercial associates within the following two years this comprises a consumer
version that could power a smartphone or an electric vehicle for nearly 10 years but friends
a query pops into my mind is elon musk actually working on a nuclear-powered tesla vehicle
well viewers musk is a visionary entrepreneur and he decides what is best for his business
he is well aware of the modern trends and his approach to a safer future is worth appreciation
tesla's decision to make a change may persuade other businesses to favor lfp batteries as well
particularly given that ukraine and russia a major producer of nickel are still at war over the next
three years reuters claims that more than a dozen businesses plan to establish factories
for lfp batteries in both the u.s and europe long popular in china lfp batteries are now making
their way to western markets musk commented that unless places are at threat of natural disasters
using nuclear power is a pretty good energy solution he affirmed i'm actually pro-nuclear as
well he addressed the most controversial question by saying i'm not saying we should go build a
whole bunch of nuclear plants but i don't think we should shut down ones that are operating safely
despite his support for nuclear power musk mentioned that meeting this increased demand
would rely on large sustainable power generation developments specifically wind and solar power
lines also have a limited capacity to distribute electricity to homes and businesses so utilities
will need to increase their production capacity he further said this is why i think
it is actually very important that a necessary part of the solution is local power generation
the tesla ceo urged european companies to generate more nuclear power to offset any shortages he even
went so far as to criticize the idea of creating fusion reactors which would use atoms being
combined rather than broken up to produce energy many believe that fusion energy has the potential
to be the ultimate renewable energy source free from the risk of a nuclear meltdown i'm talking
about fission he added you don't need fusion you've got that big fusion reactor in the sky
called the sun it comes up every day so evidently ndbtech believes that they will be able to create
a radio isotope powered battery that is capable of yielding sufficient electricity to power an ev
continuously for years without ever needing to be recharged we may be confident about one thing
tesla will eventually employ this technology if it is actually useful we'll eventually hear
from tesla if it's true it's unlikely that we will learn anything about it on tuesday but if
it turns out to be accurate it will quickly and drastically alter the transportation environment
there has always been fierce competition between tesla and its opponents and elon musk has always
been at the forefront of that battery war friends musk is aware of the situation luckily he has the
full support of investors eyeing the market trends the futuristic approach of tesla has ignited the
spirits of many tesla owners who are dreaming to drive evs driven by ndb please leave a comment
