  3. Radioisotope thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioisotope...

    A radioisotope thermoelectric generator ( RTG, RITEG ), sometimes referred to as a radioisotope power system (RPS), is a type of nuclear battery that uses an array of thermocouples to convert the heat released by the decay of a suitable radioactive material into electricity by the Seebeck effect. This type of generator has no moving parts and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium-68_generator

    The use of metal-free columns allows direct labeling of 68 Ga without prepurification, hence making production of gallium-68-radiolabeled compounds more convenient. The mobile phase is a solvent able to elute (wash out) gallium-68 (III) ( 68 Ga 3+ ) after it has been produced by electron capture decay from the immobilized (absorbed) germanium-68.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droop_speed_control

    Droop speed control is a control mode used for AC electrical power generators, whereby the power output of a generator reduces as the line frequency increases. It is commonly used as the speed control mode of the governor of a prime mover driving a synchronous generator connected to an electrical grid. It works by controlling the rate of power ...

    In 2003 these limits were set at a minimum of 20% and a maximum of 25%. [15] Since July 1, 2007, the mandatory blend is 25% of anhydrous ethanol and 75% gasoline or E25 blend. [16] The lower limit was reduced to 18% in April 2011 due to recurring ethanol supply shortages and high prices that take place between harvest seasons. [17]
