    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westinghouse_Atom_Smasher

    The Westinghouse Atom Smasher was intended to make measurements of nuclear reactions for research in nuclear power. [8] It was the first industrial Van de Graaff generator in the world, [9] and marked the beginning of nuclear research for civilian applications. [10] [11] Built in 1937, it was a 65-foot-tall (20 m) pear-shaped tower.

    Diagram of an RTG used on the Cassini probe. 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.
