But they use highly inefficient thermocouples
And a bit larger
they dont scale well
USSR built a lot of RTGs and just let them sit around
Quick question, if radioactive waste is dangerous because it emits energy disruptive and toxic to life, why aren't there facilities that recycle and convert said energy into a useable form?
@Data Pagan and alot went missing...
tfw Sellafield
Curiosity has one
So a lot of them are just sitting in a dirt lot leaking radiation
like p much all rovers/satellites have an rtg
A group of hikers found one and sat around it for warmth
They promptly suffered severe radiation burns
Rtgs seem like something outta fallout
sounds pretty shaky, also deserts have their own eco systems, add all the SAND and shit and it's not so ideal.
Why are we talking about radiation
@Doctor Fredric Bodhamn scroll up
got a link for that pagan ?
How dangerous are they to be around? Like could a guy just walk to one of those rovers? Or is it dangerous
Wow I'm good at grammar
How far could a puddle of radiation negatively affect unprotected people? Does it emit an aura of some sorts?
Most of them are sealed pretty well
How much is it for a rad suit
Merry Christmas from Australia - I wrote it upside down so you could read it easily
Deep space probes use RTGs to supplement the decreasing amount of sunlight they’re going to encounter in the outer solar system
It's expensive for a radiation suit.
And I can't give you love and affection
Cause I dont think I can love gingers
But RTG output gradually decreases overtime as well
Their power output is only as good as the half life of the material they’re powered on
they can last like 39 years tho
30*
Big brain hours
Ye khabli khan is weird
20 minutes to christmas
Well I mean after 15 years their power output has still decreased by half
RTG is what matt Damon sat with in the Martin innit?
ye
@Data Pagan well no...
theoretically yes
