Beryllium Agitator

The Beryllium Agitator is a quest item in Fallout 4.

Background
A pre-War project that was being developed at the Mass Fusion facility in Boston. Although the Mass Fusion CEO Karl Oslow claimed that it was being developed "for the benefit of mankind", Oslow actually intended to have the agitator sent to Washington for military testing.

When the lead research scientist of the project, Doctor Noel Chandrich, discovered this he confronted Oslow about it, although Oslow stated that the agitator would be handed over to the military no matter what, which led to Chandrich being fired from the company.

Ultimately, the Great War occurred on October 23, 2077, and Boston was hit by a nuclear device. The agitator was left unscathed in the Mass Fusion building's main reactor. It was left untouched for over 200 years until, in 2287, proof of its existence was discovered by the Institute and the Brotherhood of Steel.

Characteristics
The Beryllium Agitator is able to generate a considerable amount of energy. For that reason, the Institute planned to acquire it in order to power up the Institute's main generator, whereas the Brotherhood of Steel needed it in order to power up Liberty Prime and get it ready to fight the Institute.
