Real atomic batteries using Nickle-63:

Russian work, nice development and a lot of room for improvement, right now generating 3300 milliwatt hours per gram, lot more than chemical units.

Sorry, mis spelled nickel. Nickel-63 cells.

The hard part it looks like is the diamond cells.

Half-life of 100 years it can power pacemakers right now, microwatts out for now but that will get much better in the future.

Also accidentally put it here in general, probably not much interest in this development here.

So you admire a battery of nickel
Or is it really The Hammer and Sickle
We know your views are on the left
And that all Capitalism is theft
But this might get you in a pickle

Don't quit your day job....

A battery made of nickel 63
Is it enough to set us free
Not only will it keep our heart beating
But it can control our central heating
It might even fix my dodgy knee



Is this any better ?

A bit better but you have to realize limericks have to flow,

There was a young lady from Britain
who wanted a pudgy young kitten

See the dif? Try completing it.

There was a young lady from Britain
Who wanted a pudgy young kitten
She cried its so cute
I will feed her on fruit
I am completely smitten

Hmmmm!!! I have, in my collection about 10, '63 nickles. I may have a goldmine here. I'll call the North Korean government to see if we can come to some kind of agreement. Hey do me a favour, will ya, don't tell Donald or any of his lackeys please.🙄😲😉

So GBS wants to meet Kim
I don't envy him
He will have to eat dog
There is no roast hog
But he will come back very slim.

that's better. I will feed her on fruit should be I'll feed her on fruit.

Last line should have 9 syllables maybe like this:

Cause I am so wonderfully smitten.

That isn't quite right either, it needs a 3 syllable word and I think technically wonderfully has 4 so it needs to be pronounced 'wonderflee'. Am trying to thing of another word that flows.

Maybe

Cause I am so thoroughly smitten.

So

She cried 'it's so cute'
I'll feed her on fruit
cause I am so thoroughly smitten.

See the difference in the flow?

So I think the convention is 9, 9, 5, 5, 9 syllables per line.

I saw Captain Strange in a whorehouse
whose girlfriend was eating a dormouse.
I think it had mange
she said to old Strange
but ate one more down by her townhouse.

I think that one flows at least🙂

Hickory dickery dock,
Stees ran out the clock.
His nickles were rare,
the prices were fair...
but Un does nothing but talk.

Talk is cheap but so am I
if he gets his way
he'll blow us high
but I'm not afraid
we all have to die...eventually.

Did you watch my 52 Vincent video? Richard Thompson solo, great guitar.

Was very skillful guitar work. But the subcript translator was a bit off.
