Hello,
After watching the video from Lidmotor using a glow stick in front of a solar panel to blink a LED, I wondered if anyone had news about the Litroenergy company ?
Glow paint + solar panel for long lasting power, imgage
The last news were from 2011 Directory:MPK Co's Litroenergy - PESWiki
The patent is here Espacenet - Bibliographic data
Anyone tried their paint ? Does it glow for a long time ? Home Page -

Tritium illumination
Those key-rings last for more than 10 years Tritium - in glow key-rings - YouTube (see radioactive test of these devices in the video)
Tritium illumination details Tritium illumination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Tritium illumination is the use of gaseous tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, to create visible light. Tritium emits electrons through beta decay, and when they interact with a phosphor material, fluorescent light is created, a process called radioluminescence. As tritium illumination requires no electrical energy, it found wide use in applications such as emergency exit signs and illumination of wristwatches. More recently, many applications using radioactive materials have been replaced with photoluminescent materials."
"While these devices contain a radioactive substance, it is currently believed that self-powered lighting does not pose a significant health concern. A 2007 report by the UK government's Health Protection Agency Advisory Group on Ionizing Radiation declared the health risks of tritium exposure to be double that previously set by the International Commission on Radiological Protection,[1] but encapsulated tritium lighting devices, typically taking the form of a luminous glass tube embedded in a thick block of clear plastic, prevent the user from being exposed to the tritium at all unless the device is broken apart." -

Tritium illumination used in Switzerland
This company sells few devices using the tritium illumination mb-microtec - production
It's also called "Beta light".
But there is a lot of restriction on tritium gas, due to nuke bomb manufacturing, that might be why we didn't hear anymore about Litroenergy company ... -

Glow time; how long? answer
If you click on the "Purchase" page, and scroll down, you'll find this;
These Paints are Off White in the light and Glow-In-The-Dark as pictured below
The glow times are based on hours and listed next to the colors below.
1-oz Tubes <-and-> 1-Quart Containers
GREEN 12, WHITE 4, BLUE 8, AQUA 8, PURPLE 2, ORANGE 2
So, How long they glow is quite variable, depending on the color. Wonder what color yields the most electric current from a solar cell, or does it matter?? Jim -

Thanks Jim for the details.
So they are not selling their "special" product that lasts for 12 years !
They just sell standard glow paint, and their invention of encapsulated tritium micro-balls has been taken by the government, to protect people from "free" energy.
Because it seems they were dealing with NASA. They had a NASA tech brief, then the tech is GONE ! as usual ...
"Grand Prize Winner in NASA Tech Brief's contest for Litroenergy New Light Source Technology - Requires No electricity with 12 1/2 year half-life."
from Vator - MPK, CO. (LITROENERGY) company profile
Of course this webpage is gone from their website...
Good collection of data here Michael Kohnen: Litrosphere paint
Next !
cheers,
JT
