High efficiency
Up to 40% TPV conversion with state-of-the-art BSR (back surface reflector) photon recovery.
Product
Technology & product
Radioisotope generators for data center power—from single modules to multi-engine systems.
Architecture
How it works
We use Co-60 for its energy density and commercial availability in standard capsules. Heat converts to electricity through thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cells—semiconductor manufacturing at scale, with recent efficiency gains.
Isotope power delivers continuous baseload in a self-contained module, placed adjacent to or outside the data hall—without grid-only or intermittent renewable constraints.
Conceptual layout — replace with RTG brief imagery when available.
Specifications
Product advantages
No moving parts
Semiconductor generation—no turbines, steam cycles, or mechanical failure modes.
15-year life
Aligned with five half-lives of Co-60 for predictable long-term output planning.
Modular scale
Engines deploy side by side with standard electrical interfaces—no custom plant build.
Integrated cooling
Outdoor placement at 85°C surface temperature without added data hall cooling.
Silent & clean
0 dB at generation, 0 g CO₂/kWh on site—no fuel trucks or combustion exhaust.
Use cases
Why isotope power for compute
- Baseload: 99.9999% availability class performance—not intermittent like solar or wind.
- Compact: Under 10 W/sq-ft footprint class versus sprawling renewable siting.
- Zero site emissions: High energy density without combustion at the point of use.
- Incremental growth: Power 10% of your facility today; add modules as demand scales.
