Some impertinent individual demanded to know where I got my parts from. Most of the parts were salvaged. Below is a picture of a environmentally friendly radio in fact I had four of them. Note the solar panel. Three were used from the other radios to make the tritium power generator. Other components were used as well. Such as the crank handle power generator and lithium batteries. It's amazing what you can find in dustbins and no the housing of the apparatus is not a Pringle can.

Solar panels from radios CANNOT "make" Tritium which is a radioactive isotope from Hydrogen!

Solar panels simply convert light into electricity, that is their sole purpose

.
You could never even buy sufficient Tritium to power a bog standard radio, it costs about $25.000 per gram!!..and is never sold due to its Radio active content!!
There are Nano Tritium Batteries made especially for experimentation by the armed forces (Nano simply means extremely small, in measurement of one billionth.. e.g nanotechnology)...Iam certain your friend
@dh1 will be completely convinced of what you said about the "Tritium Generator" of yours, as he never does any simple Google searches for facts

...The crank handle you spoke of simply charges up an internal rechargeable battery in the radio...
I see once again that you have used a name that i brought up on another thread, that was the Lithium battery..Yep i use two types of Lithium-Ion batteries, one at 3.7volts and the other at 7.4volts the latter i use in my higher power handheld transceiver

.
Therefore in reality you could have used a cheap simple bog standard 9volt battery to put in your Pringles tube, oh im sorry, the Chronos Velocipede
