Predicting the electrical performance and temperature field of radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) is crucial essential before they are used in space, a common application scenario. However, building laboratory to recreate space environment expensive time‐consuming. It also unrealistic deploy measurement probes various components RTG. This article aims establish an approach which combines finite element method (FEM) experimental measurements terrestrial solve problem more effectively: first, using FEM calculate distribution RTG operating space; second, realizing similar self‐assembly prototype (electrical [ETG]) by air cooling. The subsequent indicate that ETG exhibits maximum power output 43.41 W conversion efficiency 5.788% simulated environment, aligning well with values obtained from FEM. research has potential serve as for forecasting laboratory.
