The challenge with the electric charging infrastructure is not the number of endpoints, but rather the amount of energy being transported. The underground cables for streetlights have been dimensioned for the power draw of light bulbs (~100

Actually, several American car manufactured experimented with this idea in the 50's. Most notably Ford with the Nucleon [0], but also other brands such as Packard and (I believe) Cadillac were also designing nuclear powered cars. Event

I don't know about the thermal efficiency of a small nuclear reactor, but I imagine you could probably make that a closed loop system. Just as you would on an internal combustion engine, with a radiator to cool/condense the heated

Yes, you still need an ignition source. The OP is confusing the distributor with individual coils found on modern engines. A distributor is only there to distribute the spark to the cylinders. On modern engines the distributor has been repl

This is nothing new, really. Crappy SOHO routers have been proven to be vulnerable over and over again. The thing though is that in most countries you don't actually own the modem, it stays property of the ISP. And because of that you
