Portable Power
As opposed to potable power (moonshine)? This runs the gamut from firewood and grain to mini-blackholes, but pretty much skips fossil fuels.



3:30 One ton of TNT has a trillion food calories

12:38 betavoltaic battery

17:40 Quantum Plug Uncertainty

19:50 Biogammavoltaics — fungi that eat radiation!

...then on to anti-matter and black holes. My interests falls off at that point, but Isaac Arthur is a completist.

I have been trying to find beta voltaics, but I think all I got was put on more government watch lists.

At 6:40 he is discussing injecting helium into the exhaust of stealth aircraft, and his editorial comment has the volume cut and the CC drop out for 6 seconds.
