Nuclear powered Vehicles, fiction or reality?

[@davmac6148]

The technology is not taking off because there is not good enough profits to be made with it. It goes back money, it is scarcity that drives prices up thus abundance that drives them down.

This thorium car would be based, if it was massively produced.

[@oren1neu1dag]

Based on what?

[@ETBONIFACIO]

@@oren1neu1dag The person said the word based as a slang. A slang meaning being true to yourself despite what others think.

I never think of those accidents involved at nuclear power plants. When I think of nuclear I think of clean, renewable infinite energy.

Great information

[@seogabonotjah6555]

the maintanance and safety is the issue

[@leducphu2310]

Yeah, if there was a car crash, the nuclear reactors could create massive consequences

[@Aaro4ify]

@@leducphu2310 Well it's a Fusion reactor if the reactor broke it would stop working and it wont melt done like a fission reactor does.

What about the power of engine when they use nuclear power is good or not

[@mortiarty7842]

Also depends on how people drive, lots of people get multimillion miles on their car, and what really helps on waste is to keep your old car maintained and alive which would be impossible for evs cause the batteries are indefinitely going to die and or less efficient within a decade, and replacing it would not be cost efficient to a lot of people when a new replacement battery is 10-20k alone, which will create more waste and pollution cause mining materials for those batteries are far from eco friendly, and I mind you we have a limited supply of those materials, just imagine replacing the billions of vehicles today with evs then the extra materials needed to maintain those vehicles, the worlds power grid will most likely go to shit way before we run out of materials to make batteries. Just imagine black outs 2times a day for an entire year, and building more green energy powerplants won’t help much since they are far less inefficient than nuclear power which we would need a couple thousand plants to stay afloat

Lekka video sir! Love it. I lis to build a thorium car now😂. Honestly I feel like developing it. I think there is a future for nuclear powered cars, legal or illegal. I want to do it

[@donovandelaney3171]

The answer is NDB chips, actually.

[@LilCasinoMusic]

? What that

[@Gian-ni]

what car is in the thmbnail?

[@meowzic]

Could a nuclear reactor in a vehicle create hydrogen to fuel the car?

[@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk]

An EV plugged into the grid to charge that is partially composed of nuclear energy. Does that answer your question?

[@ChrisVSCars]

I said that in the video

[@imraanjacobs3670]

Can one aquire thorium?, that's the first thing

[@dianapennepacker6854]

Screw using turbines. Thermalphotovoltaics. Or TPV cells is the way to go! Think solar cells, but for heat. They just made ones that can run at 40-60% effiency. Or as good as turbines with no moving parts. This was pubilished by MIT by the way. Problem is you need 1,900‐2400 celius to get it to work. So we need a nuclear technology that can produce that much heat, and materials that can withstand it. Then we would be golden.

[@lucidrebuilds6129]

I believe this or what tesla had in mind with the energy flowing all over the place can power almost everything if harnessed.

[@Formula1-Dave]

Lol trunk? We're in South Africa boet 😂

[@NICOLAS25478]

Yeah well funny you end up with Thorium cos i knew about this for power plants but as you say the technology is not taking off and i dont understand why. I know about people in France, Norway and the US who studied that topic for power plants.

[@benbraceletspurple9108]

Bypass the electricity. Just use analog and steam power itself.

[@deleteduser8652]

Ok but, what about the car lights, turn signals, radio etc.

[@EtherealMarksman]

imagine Tony Stark's Reactor, a Tritium Duterium reactor inside of your car. one that can use the neutron particals to coat a new catalyst converter which will be a chamber of lithium collecting thr bombardment of neutrons to create tritium or helium 3 that can be put bwck into the engine to further perpetuate fusion reactions
