 Radioisotope piezoelectric generator

A Radioisotope Piezoelectric Generator (RPEG) is a type of power generation device that combines principles from both radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) and piezoelectric technology. The main components and their functions can be outlined as follows: 1. **Radioisotope Source**: The generator uses a radioisotope, commonly radioactive isotopes like cesium-137 or strontium-90, which emits radiation as it decays. This radioactive decay generates heat.
