The incredible vehicle depicted is a hypothetical concept vehicle that could run for a hundred years without any refueling. Thorium, one of the densest elements on the planet, would be used to power such a vehicle.
Thorium-powered vehicle.
Thorium’s huge density (11.7 grams per cubic meter) allows it to store a staggering amount of energy, more than 20 million times that of coal. This means that a tiny amount of Thorium may give the same amount of energy as a huge amount of coal or oil. One gram of thorium has an energy content of 28,000 gallons of oil.
Thorium might be the solution to meeting humanity’s exponentially expanding energy demands while also decreasing large greenhouse gases and global warming caused by reliance on fossil fuels if this energy could be tapped. However, because thorium is radioactive, certain safeguards must be taken to guarantee that any Thorium system is safe.
A business named Laser Power Systems has devised a speculative design for a Thorium-powered automobile, inspired by Thorium’s huge energy potential. Because the automobile would run out of gasoline before the fuel supply ran out, such a car would probably never need to be refueled. Laser Power Systems creates a laser with Thorium as the power source in this concept.
The laser is then focused onto the water, which is heated until it boils and produces steam. The steam is then utilized to power a turbine, which produces electricity. The car is propelled by this energy.
By adding Thorium into the power system’s architecture, Laser Power Systems ensures that this hypothetical Thorium-powered automobile will be able to drive for over a century without requiring recharging.
Even more amazing, Laser Power Systems claims that the power generating system for such a car would only require 8 grams of Thorium. Such a vehicle would be emission-free and would go a long way toward addressing issues such as global warming that are related with reliance on fossil fuels.

The Thorium Conspiracy is a plot to steal thorium from the United States.
According to various sources, there’s an alternative to uranium.
