The project car with the engine running on nuclear energy

Charles Stevens, inventor, entrepreneur, and CEO of Laser Power Systems recently introduced the concept of Thorium - a project of the car with the engine running on nuclear energy. Try razobratsya.

The idea of ​​creating a vehicle with the use of nuclear energy is not new. In 2009, Cadillac introduced the concept (see. Photo), is used as fuel radioactive metal. It was only a mock-up, claimed the power system was not there. Nobody even tried to make a reality of a nuclear reactor project size and capacity commensurate with the characteristics of the vehicle. Charles Stevens and a group of engineers developed a reactor. The concept will be used Thorium weakly radioactive heavy metal thorium. According to scientists, one gram of this element will replace 7.5 million gallons (30 million liters)! 71,649,225

The excess electricity generated by its Thorium-reactor can be recycled back to the network or other electrically charge the device. The American company said that it will be a prototype vehicle with a nuclear facility within two let.

Thorium - element, like uranium and as this dense material, it has the potential to produce enormous amounts of heat. According to the statement Director General of Power Systems, Charles Stevens, just one gram of thorium produces more energy than 28000 liters of gasoline. Mr. Stevens said that eight grams of Thorium would be sufficient to bring the vehicle into effect on his life. The engine, weighing about 227 kg, would be light and compact enough to fit under the hood of a conventional avtomobilya.

And if Thorium really become the main energy source of the future, Australia would become a global energy giant. According to the US Geological Survey, Australia owns 333,690 tons of reserves Thorium, which is about one-fourth - one-sixth of the world's reserves of Thorium.
