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.
