The generator contains the strontium-90 radioisotope, with a heating power of 250W and 1,480 TBq of radioactivity – equivalent to some 280 grams (9.9 oz) of Sr-90. [4] Mass-scale production of RTGs in the Soviet Union was the responsibility of a plant called Baltiyets, in Narva , Estonia .

English: Diagram of revolving-field single phase generator with four poles. As the rotor turns, the lines of force at fours poles are cut by the coils inducing current. The output from four coils are "in pha
Van de Graaff generator diagram. A simple Van de Graaff generator consists of a belt of rubber (or a similar flexible dielectric material) moving over two rollers of differing material, one of which is surrounded by a hollow metal sphere. A comb-shaped metal electrode with sharp points (2 and 7 in the diagram), is positioned near each roller ...

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.
