How a Nuclear Battery Works in Space⚡ Thermoelectric Gernerator

In this video, we will see how the Voyager keeps working after 40 years from what is seems infinite energy. this is thanks to a nuclear battery or more specifically a radioisotope thermoelectric generator.

wonderful video, but to be precise, the name of the rtg installed inside the voyager 1 and 2 was called Multihundred-Watt radioisotope thermoelectric generator (MHW RTG), not gphs

The Company I work for, we forge spheres that hold nuclear fuel for satellites. Titanium, high strength alloy, ranging between 7' - 2.5' width. Forged on a 150,000lb Counterblow from 4" thick then machined to 1/8" thick the strength is incredible. In the last 20yrs with technology their size has greatly reduced but still it is something to see when forging. Great video

it deserves more views!!!

[@tutuc10]

Keep the great work guys!

[@lorriecarrel9962]

That was an amazing breakdown of how that works

[@VirtualBrainENG]

Thanks!

[@NebulaTornado]

The best explanation ever, thanks pro...

[@shahinmirzaei4555]

hello , I have a question , why RTG in the voyager is outside of it

[@bobo11112222]

EV can have smaller, lighter but powerful enough lithium ion battery to run power train and voyager style nuke battery that slowly trickle charge and maintain it at 80%. EV that don’t need to be plugged in at home. I would definitely buy that EV. Can use that for home power wall too. No more electric bill. Just water bill or may be rain catcher for that too.

You know If we used pulse technology, we could get more electricity out of coil and capacitor

Limitless energy 40 years ago but they still charging us for everything the earth provides us .

[@savagesarethebest7251]

Even if you could have a couple of these generators by your home, I bet that it is not as cold as space so you would at least need to have coolant pumps, and those cost money to operate and needs to be replaced when they eventually fails.

Nuclear energy cheap to produce, but not cheap to maintain.

[@dredgewalker]

Limitless? The uranium lasts for 80 years, and also are you willing to have a radioactive power source inside your home just so you can save money on paying electric bills? These things are used in areas where there are no inhabitants nearby or in machines in space where it won't matter if it's spreading radiation. How wtupid can you be?

hmmmm.. so pyro,ferro,piezo,photo, magnetic, electric effects says other wise. mankind has much to wake tf up too.

> generating 0.568 watts per second
Please, help yourself out of popular science.

[@testbrave6314]

hard to understand for a common people...too much scientific topic discussed
