  2. Radioisotope piezoelectric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioisotope_piezoelectric...

    A radioisotope piezoelectric generator ( RPG) is a type of radioisotope generator that converts energy stored in radioactive materials into motion, which is used to generate electricity using the repeated deformation of a piezoelectric material. This approach creates a high-impedance source and, unlike chemical batteries, the devices will work ...

  3. Atomic battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_battery

    An atomic battery, nuclear battery, radioisotope battery or radioisotope generator uses energy from the decay of a radioactive isotope to generate electricity. Like a nuclear reactor, it generates electricity from nuclear energy, but it differs by not using a chain reaction. Although commonly called a batteries, atomic batteries are technically ...

  4. Radioisotope thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioisotope...

    A radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG, RITEG), sometimes referred to as a radioisotope power system (RPS), is a type of nuclear battery that uses an array of thermocouples to convert the heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material into electricity by the Seebeck effect. This type of generator has no moving parts and is ...

  5. Optoelectric nuclear battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optoelectric_nuclear_battery

    An optoelectric nuclear battery[citation needed] (also radiophotovoltaic device, radioluminescent nuclear battery[ 1] or radioisotope photovoltaic generator[ 2]) is a type of nuclear battery in which nuclear energy is converted into light, which is then used to generate electrical energy. This is accomplished by letting the ionizing radiation ...

  6. Thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_generator

    A thermoelectric generator (TEG), also called a Seebeck generator, is a solid state device that converts heat (driven by temperature differences) directly into electrical energy through a phenomenon called the Seebeck effect [1] (a form of thermoelectric effect). Thermoelectric generators function like heat engines, but are less bulky and have ...

  7. Multi-mission radioisotope thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-Mission_Radioisotope...

    The multi-mission radioisotope thermoelectric generator (MMRTG) is a type of radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) developed for NASA space missions [1] such as the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Energy's Office of Space and Defense Power Systems within the Office of Nuclear Energy ...

  8. MHW-RTG - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHW-RTG

    The Multihundred-watt radioisotope thermoelectric generator (MHW RTG) is a type of US radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) developed for the Voyager spacecraft, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. [ 1 ] Radioisotope thermoelectric generators for the Voyager program.

  9. Thermoacoustic heat engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoacoustic_heat_engine

    A schematic representation of a thermoacoustic hot-air engine. The hot side of the heat exchanger is connected to hot heat reservoir – and the cold side to cold heat reservoir. The electro-acoustic transducer, e.g. a loudspeaker, is not shown. Thermoacoustic engines (sometimes called "TA engines") are thermoacoustic devices which use high ...
