Did they found out something we don´t know or what? Or they´ll use micro nuclear reactor like the article´s author thinks? Any ideas?
Does anyone have data on what kind of power those generators generate as compared to the power requirements of a 500hp electric motor?But could they be looking at something like the radioisotope thermoelectric generators used in deep space satellites?
Well according to Wikipedia those used in spacecraft have generated up to 390W of electrical power, with 7.2KW of heat. So the electrical conversion is very inefficient - you'd want, if possible, to do something with the heat as well.pedaltometal wrote:I want my nuclear car damnit!
