Compact Nuclid Battery Acquired.VANCOUVER, B.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 26, 1998--Rhombic Corp., (OTC/BB:NUKE To erase. nuke - /n[y]ook/ 1. To intentionally delete the entire contents of a given directory or storage volume. "On Unix, "rm -r /usr" will nuke everything in the usr file system." Never used for accidental deletion. Opposite: blow away. 2. ), a U.S. company, with its office in British Columbia British Columbia, province (2001 pop. 3,907,738), 366,255 sq mi (948,600 sq km), including 6,976 sq mi (18,068 sq km) of water surface, W Canada. Geography , Canada, announces the addition of a lightweight low pressure super compact nuclid battery to the company's projects to be manufactured and marketed. This advanced nuclid battery technology, developed in Russia and recently tested in March of this year on the Mir space station, is a compatible extension to the company's Krypton-85 battery. The battery, developed at the High Energy Density Research Center in Russia, and titled "The Compact Radio Nuclide nuclide or nuclear species Species of atom as characterized by the number of protons, neutrons, and the energy state of the nucleus. A nuclide is characterized by its mass number and its atomic number. Battery with Dust Plasma", has an electric power to weight efficiency ratio of 10 to 15 times that of current nuclear batteries. It operates on the decay of a number of very low cost radio nuclides that produce little or no gamma rays Gamma rays Electromagnetic radiation emitted from excited atomic nuclei as an integral part of the process whereby the nucleus rearranges itself into a state of lower excitation (that is, energy content). . The nuclide battery is being developed to supply electrical energy for both the long term operation of earth satellites, and as an energy support system for space travelto the other reaches of the solar system solar system, the sun and the surrounding planets, natural satellites, dwarf planets, asteroids, meteoroids, and comets that are bound by its gravity. The sun is by far the most massive part of the solar system, containing almost 99.9% of the system's total mass. and beyond. Rhombic rhom·bic adj. 1. Relating to the rhombencephalon. 2. Rhomboid. Corp. will actively pursue a joint venture partner in the aerospace industry to assist in the manufacture and marketing of its new nuclear project.
