2. Radioisotope thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

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

   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.

3. Black start - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_start

   A black start is the process of restoring an electric power station, a part of an electric grid or an industrial plant, to operation without relying on the external electric power transmission network to recover from a total or partial shutdown. [1] Power to restart a generating station or plant may come from an on-site black start standby ...

4. Remote starter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_starter

   A remote starter is a radio controlled device, which is installed in a vehicle by the factory or an aftermarket installer to preheat or cool the vehicle before the owner gets into it. [1] Once activated, by pushing a button on a special key chain remote, it starts the vehicle automatically for a predetermined time.

5. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   A homopolar generator is a DC electrical generator comprising an electrically conductive disc or cylinder rotating in a plane perpendicular to a uniform static magnetic field. A potential difference is created between the center of the disc and the rim (or ends of the cylinder), the electrical polarity depending on the direction of rotation and ...

7. Droop speed control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droop_speed_control

   Droop speed control is a control mode used for AC electrical power generators, whereby the power output of a generator reduces as the line frequency increases. It is commonly used as the speed control mode of the governor of a prime mover driving a synchronous generator connected to an electrical grid. It works by controlling the rate of power ...
