Non-Nuclear Inertial-Thermal Energy System for Deep Space Missions
This technical paper presents a verified, non-nuclear energy generation system designed for long-duration, low-power deep space missions. It details an Inconel 718 flywheel architecture with integrated electromagnetic and thermoelectric energy recovery subsystems. All components are based on proven aerospace materials and methods. The system offers a regulatory-safe alternative to RTGs, with applications in outer solar system sensors, data relays, and CubeSat missions.
