Re: Swannys Bar

Plutonium battery...wonder if we could use them.

Unfortunatly not.
A nuclear battery does only 1 usefull thing. Generating heat. And that for a long time.

The Curiosity Rover plutonium battery generates 2000W of heat, but the used system makes it into 125W electrical.
After 14 years, this drops to 100W due decay of the used isotope.

if we would have a fight that has a 14 year duration, it could be an option.

On the other hand, I don't want to be in the same room with 4.2 kg of plutonium. Not even with an arena around it.

Unless it's a lead arena....

Steam turbine robots though! Now that could be awesome, bring on the SteamPunk.
