Radioactive cars? What could possibly go wrong?
Joking aside, it's a neat idea, but from the article it sounds like the kicker is this:
"Stevens admits that his biggest hurdle isn’t the thorium and laser aspects of the system, but the mini turbines which have to be made small enough to fit inside a vehicle while generating enough electricity"
- clavalle 15y agoMini turbines are going to be expensive. High rpm turbines have to be pretty damn close to perfect not to fly apart. Not only that, they are very noisy. I hope they can engineer their way out of the hurdles they are going to come across. If they can put these in cars, maybe they can be put in homes too.
