Hum,
my favourite is candles,
(er, though not recommended for looking for gas-leaks), but handy in post nuclear apocalypse eventuality.

@ X-ray
Hum,
not too impressed...

But
if they had it mounted on a head-band Pretzl style> then i would definitely get one ...



BTW, i once had russian ex-military radioactive tritium night lights for my bike once ...they were always on, you just removed the cap to see...

Hum,
what is flat output?

A steady flow of electrons, er, as opposed to wave-like output?

BTW, has anyone actually made a battery here?

Hum,
So kenny could have all the bits he needs to make a battery in a kitchen cupboard....pre-prepared in advance so he just need to `insert the cathode` type thing for it to work...

i found this handy table for him to experiment with

-------------------------
So is that, what a flat output is?

Hum,
i suppose that
If kennys ancestors had evolved on different planet orbiting a different coloured star then his eyes may more sensitive in other wavelengths,
But for humans i recon it's red, blue and yellow.



@Kenny
Ever considered keeping your batteries in a fridge? (In sealed bags of course)

Hum,
Interesting,
Though i suspect that T bone is also correct in that it`s  a  yellow-green colour that we are most sensitive to (er, cos the yellow `band` is very narrow).
but, er, i`ve never bothered to look, in depth, into the mechanics of  the human eye.
