I remember the excitement 17 years ago when the first images from Titan were released. It followed the mission since it launched from earth. It was an incredible technological achievement, but I had trouble making sense of the few surface images. They weren't as clear and sharp as the pictures taken by NASA's Martian probes, but more importantly, there were no scaling references to gauge size and distance. They may have improved some of the images now, but it had been nearly impossible to distinguish whether the landscape images were the size of the Sahara Desert, a small beach, or a playground sandbox.

The seebeck effect, thermal and electrical conductivity, chemical composition, Reynolds's number, man this video is revision for half my first year of engineering

I think this video has the smoothest transition to affiliate info, that I've ever seen, nicely done on that! Great info as well :)

5:17: You were not wrong about RTGs being fission devices. All of the radioactive decay that heats those materials are in fact nuclear fission events. It is not stimulated fission, but it is fission, and you get the same total energy from the fuel whether the fission is stimulated or not, just at a lower power. The Seebeck effect has nothing to do with the nuclear side of an RTG. Any temperature gradient, regardless of source, can be used to power a Seebeck effect gnererator. In an RTG, nuclear is how you are converting fuel to heat and a Seebeck effect generator is how you are converting heat to electricity (in essentially a single step). In higher power situation it is more cost effective to use phase transition, turbines, and magnets to convert the heat to electricity (in a lot more steps). If you are going to call yourself wrong about something, please actually be wrong.

No he was really wrong. If you count it by the number of particles then what becomes of Pu 238 is supposed to be 72% alpha decay and 28% spontaneous fission. It is mostly alpha decay. That isn't fission.

Honestly it'd make sense to send up a relay satellite with Dragonfly so they wouldn't have to waste energy on the probe itself.

Out at Saturn there is not enough sun light for solar power, meaning that this relay satellite would also need a RTG, however, plutonium 238 is in short supply, and is reserved for only the most necessary circumstances.

@@philb5593 Well, despite the fact that a solar panel would receive 1/100th the energy at saturn, that wouldn't exclude it from possibilities. They could use light weight mirrors (like a solar sail) to reflect light into a solar panel. Making it easier to fill the few hundred square meters of sunlight needed to power the relay satellite. Of course this is all speculation, and odds are they won't end up using a relay satellite unless it has some other use. For example, a satellite meant for scanning the surface of titan. But in that scenario, they'd most likely warrant giving it an RTG or two.

@@philb5593 I imagine it would take some fairly detailed calculations to decide whether to use a relay satellite near Titan or just go direct from Titan surface to Earth. I guess Titan should be easier to land on than Mars (where the stupid atmosphere is too thick to ignore and too thin to supply ALL the braking you need), so if Titan's atmosphere is reasonably transparent to the radio frequencies they want to use, landing the main antenna makes more sense on Titan than on Mars. Relay communications satellites anywhere in the outer solar system except in orbit around the right planet are not much help because they will be further from Earth and/or from your mission vehicle than the Earth to mission vehicle distance most of the time. On average over time, which is the closest planet to Earth?

Kilograms represent mass, the mass stays the same no matter what so it still is going to be 450Kg on titan. The difference is that its weight here is 4420N (g=9.81m/s^2) while on titan it would be around 620N (g=1.37m/s^2), around 7 times less as you said. Therefore the force in N needed to lift it up there is indeed way less.

Stand on the scale in your bathroom and pull up on the counter to push yourself down on the scale. The reading will go up. Why? Your mass never changed, right? That’s because scales actually read the force you’re putting on it, and the readout is showing you how much mass should cause that much force under earth’s gravity.

A bit correction if you don't mind. The Radioisotope reactor also base on nuclear fission. Every radioactive material will decay, or "fissilized", for lack of better word, If left by themselves. The nuclear reactor enhance this process by either slowing down the neutron or enrich the fuel to a higher level or both. Now radioisotope reactor on the other hand, tapped into the natural decay process of the radioactive material. Also, Rather than using coolant for heat transfer, the reactor use seebeck effect to generate power.
