Can I continue the RTG/Kilopower discussion from the last thread? I’m a geologyanon so I don’t know much about the physics/engineering of power production...
Someone said a Sterling engine would produce way more power than an RTG. Why is this- do thermocouples just intrinsically suck?
Assuming we are on the surface of Mars with shitty sunlight, what would be best for power generation: RTG, Solar, or Kilopower?
