A car that can operate without recharging for 100 years...The first concept car has appeared that runs on virtually waste-free and environmentally friendly nuclear fuel. According to the creators, the materials used and the technical content of the car will allow the owner not to worry about repairing his “pet” for 100 years, and this is with daily use!
The development team used the weakly radioactive metal thorium (Thorium (Th)) as fuel. The idea of using this element was first expressed by the American inventor Lawrence Kulesus in 2009 at the Chicago Auto Show. Well, the engineers of Laser Power Systems, led by inventor Charles Stevenson, were able not only to develop the concept of a nuclear engine, but also to successfully bring it to life. The new concept was called Cadillac World Thorium Fuel (Cadillac WTF).
Thorium was first used during the Second World War, because it is considered the safest substance among other radioactive elements. According to the calculations of the development scientists, a gram of thorium will successfully replace about 30 thousand liters of conventional fuel. Well, 8 grams is enough for a car owner to last a lifetime. In addition, the excess energy released during the reaction is enough to recharge both the battery and other devices.
Cadillac WTF is capable of turning today's perception of cars upside down. The task of non-standard solutions, which found a place in the development of the concept car, is to combat environmental pollution. Modern cars not only have a short service life, but also have a negative impact on the environment during production, operation and disposal. While the new product from Cadillac is designed to operate without refueling or repair for a whole century. Author: GEximius
