Teledyne has produced hundreds of radioisotope thermoelectric generators for both space and terrestrial applications.
Teledyne’s Radioisotope Thermoelectric generator (RTG) is very popular for space and terrestrial applications due to its high specific energy, high reliability, and maintenance free design. The generator uses a radioisotope heat source to provide a steady, long lasting temperature differential. This heat source in combined with our solid state thermoelectric modules to convert heat to electricity.
