Cadillac WTF - the first car with a nuclear engine (4 photos)
It appeared first kotsept car that runs on virtually waste-free and environmentally friendly nuclear fuel.
According to the creators, the materials used and technical filling the car owner will allow
not to worry about repairing his "favorite" for 100 years, and is in daily operation!
As fuel the development team used a weakly radioactive metal thorium (Thorium (Th)). For the first time the idea of using this element expressed American inventor Lawrence Kulesus in 2009 at a car show Chicago Auto Show. Well, the engineers at Laser Power Systems, headed by inventor Charles Stevenson could not only develop the concept of a nuclear engine, and successfully put it into practice. The new concept is called Cadillac World Thorium Fuel (Cadillac WTF).
For the first time began to use the thorium during the Second World War, because it is considered the safest among other radioactive material elements. According to scientists, developers gram of thorium can be replaced about 30 thousand. Liters of conventional fuel. Well, and 8 grams of wholly owner of the car is enough for a lifetime. Additionally, released by the reaction of the excess energy will be enough to recharge and battery, and other devices.
Cadillac WTF is able to turn on its head today to the vehicle. The objective of innovative solutions that have found a place in the development of kotsept car, is the fight against environmental damage. Modern cars not only have a short period of service, but also have a negative impact on the environment during production, operation and disposal. While the novelty of the Cadillac is designed to operate without refueling and repairs for a century.
All systems also differ from the concept of traditional counterparts. Thorium energy efficiently activates all of the internal program functioning akin to the human nervous system. The basic units of the car have the function of a safety net in case of unexpected failure to Cadillac WTF continued full operation without repair.
The concept car has 24 wheels, 6 on each side. Each of them is rather narrow and has a built-induction electric motor. These wheels need to be adjusted once every five years, without requiring a replacement.
Cadillac WTF design itself is very flexible, the car is able to transform itself like muscles, making intuitive control. For example, the angle of the wheels varies with road surface. The reactor of the car for safety reasons at the rear of the concept car.
If thorium positively show itself as an energy source, and the concept car will become a reality, the world leaders in the field of energy could become Australia and India.
On the territory of these countries are about 30% of deposits of this metal from all fields of the planet.
