I wonder if the OP meant WTF or World Thorium Fuel...

    Prior to this link, I thought "WTF" was OP's label of it. Interesting.

    Ah, so it's to be as large as a city block.

    That explains the 24 wheels.

    And the need for an arch.

        In other news, Soviet Russia has been re-established and is now the leading manufacturer of Mercedez automobiles.

        Edit: Sorry for my mistake, I meant Mercedez automobiles are now the leading manufacturers of Soviet Russians.

                Actually, it's a concept of the Mercedes Benz company in America. Germans would never design such shit.

                They are like some kind of "übermensch" when it comes to designing things.

                                      That's because the population of Detroit has dwindled from something like 1.8 million to more like 900,000...basically half the city is just abandoned.

                                      700,000 in the last census.

                                      That sort of thing happens when the cities population drops over 1 million in 50 years.

                                      Detroit (1950)- 1,849,568
                                      Detroit (2010)- 713,777

                                        I think it would happen in the split second of the flash going off, picture gets taken, flash goes off, car is gone.

                                        They would actually steal it moments before the photons were burned onto the film but allowing enough time for the film to receive just enough light. Which means that there will be a brief period where the car no longer exists and the film has yet to have an imaged burned onto it, since the photons will have yet to hit the film.

                                                                                      The thing about why the Nucleon was a horrible idea and why this could actually work is that the Nucleon was using regular fuel-grade radioactive materials for the time, like Uranium.

                                                                                      Thorium is markedly less radioactive than fuel-grade Uranium or Plutonium,, to the point where it takes frequent long-term exposure to give you anything even resembling radiation sickness. This is due to its extremely low neutron output during decay and such emissions are relatively very easy to shield against. Reacting temperatures for Thorium usually reach a standard temperature of around 1,000o C, and it's melting point is around 1,800o C, which makes the danger of a meltdown negligible.

                                                                                      Plus, it's abundant. As hell. When mining for rare-earth metals, so much Thorium is dug up in the process it is considered a nuisance. Junk material.

                                                                                      In theory, using a system like the Cadillac WTF would have, in which a small Thorium reactor provides power to charge batteries which then power the wheels, combined with inertia-recycling systems like we see already in use by modern Hybrid cars, and highly efficient aerodynamics, it is entirely possible that, if produced, the Cadillac WTF could have an infinite range. If not infinite, most definitely high-range to the point where you could take it road tripping and never have to worry about running out of juice.

How do you radiate that off a car? If it were ever exposed, it could melt through the concrete of a road. Also, would the reactor be on contiuously?

I don’t have a lot of details on the how’s and why’s of its creation….it just sort of appeared. We’re pleased that our Art & Science design was inspirational…..but outside of that, we don’t really have a view on it.
