A full hour of gameplay for a mere… 2 months of charging? Wait, that can’t be right, can it? It might not be efficient, but it’s pretty cool, and just safe enough to not get a visit from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission!
Watch the video or read the Instructable to learn how to build your own Tritium-based DIY Nuclear Generator.
It seemed wise at the time for me to build a DIY Nuclear Generator and slap it to the back of a portable video game system. What could go wrong?!
After the video for this project went live, the Nuclear Powered “Gameboy” was raffled off to support children living near the Chernobyl disaster.
The Nuclear Powered “Gameboy” project can be found on Gizmodo, Hackaday, Vice, Gamespot, Hackster, India Times, The Gamer, Screen Rant, Nintendo Wire, Gigazine, and Gaming Bible
