Piezonucleic Power Armor

The Piezonucleic power armor chest is a piece of legendary armor in Fallout 4 found in the Cambridge Polymer Labs.

Background
Developed at the Cambridge Polymer Labs for the United States Armed Forces as part of the Nucleostrictive Lining Project, the Piezonucleic power armor incorporates a polymer of gold and lithium hydride applied to lead zirconium titanite, capable of converting ionizing radiation to electrical energy. However, the entire research staff of the project was killed just prior to its completion. When the Sole Survivor discovered the lab, 210 years later, they were given the option to finish the manufacturing process of the power armor.

Characteristics
The Piezonucleic power armor's stats depend on whether it has spawned as a T-45 chest plate or a T-51 chest plate. It increases the regeneration rate of Action Points when the wearer is exposed to radiation.

Location
The Piezonucleic power armor can be found in Cambridge Polymer Labs. It can be crafted by the Sole Survivor during the quest Cambridge Polymer Labs.

Behind the scenes
Piezoelectricity, among other things, triggers the strengthening of the human skeleton in response to slight deformations in the bones under extreme loads. Piezo means push, not electrical. In reality, RTG and betavoltaic devices already exist, but use a by-product of radioactive decay and are properly thermolelectric, not radioelectric. In 2008, there was research being done to develop tiles using sandwiched layers of carbon nanotubules, gold and lithium hydride that was expected to be 20x more efficient than nuclear-driven thermoelectic generation. Since any of these methods depend on the electricity being generated inside a shielded device containing a sizeable chunk of decaying isotope, photovoltaic cells are probably still a much better way to get electricity from ambient levels of electromagnetic radiation.
