When will they ever permit diode reactor powered vehicles?

Question

I've seen a diode reactor with merely a sliver of nuclear fuel in it run a 100W bulb for hours! This reactor was only the size of an IPOD! Surely this can supply enough power for any electric car or even a truck with all the common accessories included! Why is this technology being supressed and hidden from the publics view? They could use all of the nuclear contaminate remains to supply the necessary fuel for each of these reactors! Can this be in production overseas since Americans refuse to do it?

Answer 1

Don't get too close to these things. They play havoc with your brain waves.

Answer 2

Are you kidding me!

Chemo for America whether we like it or not!

Do you know what havoc even a tiny bit of nuclear waste can cause?

Imagine a major accident where one cars fuel cell is breeched and a small amount of waste escapes and gets into the sewer system and then gets filtered and used as reclaimed water!

Now imagine if this were to happen even in a slightly larger scale over the course of a few years, we would completely poison our fresh water supply and cause ourselves to be constantly surrounded by a very horrible poison.

But, then again, you could make a lot of money doing it so what the h**l, money can make anything happen.

Answer 3

are you sure it was using nuclear reactions to provide power? i am very skeptical because they cant even get petrol engines to work on that scale.

Answer 4

It sounds like you are talking about a radioisotope thermoelectric generator of the kind that power space craft on missions to Saturn and Pluto and places too far from the Sun to use solar panels. They can produce 100 watts or so of power for years, but it takes many thousands of watts to power a car. They cost millions each and use plutonium as the fuel, although other radioactive elements would work. Do you really want millions of little packages of radioactive materials available to millions of people in the world, including terrorists?
