If it can power a space probe, it can power a car. If it is even a fraction of the power of an RTG but without the same issues with fuel, it could be civilization changing.
If it is not that compact but it can still be placed inside homes, ditto.
- s1artibartfast 6y ago>If it can power a space probe, it can power a car. How do you come to that conclusion? The RTGs that powered the voyager probes output 470 watts. That is about 7 lightbulbs. A Tesla Model S uses up to 345,000 watts (463 hp)
