The future not only occur as expected. While Saturday morning cartoons has promised us a world in which we are driving fancy cars fueled bubble would be easy origami can be easily transported in suitcases, the reality is a bit 'slower to reject the traditional model of internal combustion. But you can finally change. Scientists in research and development company Laser Power Systems is working on a new turbine generator powered by a laser based on thorium. If, like us, you spent most of my chemistry class, carefully examining the inside of the eyelids, you can not remember that thorium metal is a slightly radioactive atomic weight 90
CADILLAC THORIUM NUCLEAR CARS FUEL
It's true, kids. We are talking about a nuclear-powered car. Insert maniacal laugh track.The principle is quite simple. Thorium would be torn to generate heat, which would then produce steam in a closed circuit. The steam will then drive a generator to produce electricity. Since it takes only a thin layer of aluminum foil to protect the world against radiation low thorium and the object can not be militarized, it is supposed to be perfect for the mobile generation.
The researchers say that only eight grams of thorium can be enough to power a car somewhere around 300,000 miles of driving. If this all sounds a little 'far-fetched, it may pay to remember that the territory is already on the radar of car'. Cadillac introduced the thorium fuel-powered concept of thorium in the World 2009 Chicago Auto Show.
