My attempt at a radio-isotope thermo-electric generator. They all make sparks at varying rates. The advanced needed a pulse regulator. Copy with credit. Essentially small, long lasting nuclear reactors. The cooling only works with ambient heat on.

    With the spark regulator, you can probably reduce its size significantly (Not saying you have to, of course, as it works great as is and I used to use water based spark regulating devices, myself) by utilising DLAY with a temp of about 24, give or take a few. You could also store up the SPRK in a LITH battery with the DLAY, ensuring a relatively consistent pulse.

    @Ohm-nyxxIt is pretty much based around the design of the mmrtg. Not identical of course for various reasons. @Shneumer That pump shouldn't be off- Some nscn or something probably turned it off and then it stayed like that.

    Based off Nasa's MMRTG? Multi mission radio-isotope thermoelectric generator.

    How come the pump only on the sides are on. What's the point of the off pump?
