The new Thorium car, created by a company called Laser Power
Systems, is completely emission-free, turbine-free, and is electricity
generated. It’s one of the new sustainable-powered engines to show just how
unnecessary modern day propulsion engines are and also offer an exciting
alternative.

Fueled by nuclear thorium lasers, this engine only needs 8
grams of fuels every 100 years. Charles Stevens, the CEO and chairman of the
Connecticut-based company, claims that one gram of thorium yields the energy of
7,500 gallons of gasoline. Harnessed by
heating the energy from an external source, the energy becomes so dense the
molecules produce heat. A vehicle that needs refilling once a lifetime.
It seems many countries and military agencies have been
experimenting with this type of energy to power vehicles for a number of years.
And now with designs to create a car for the public, those who find their
gasoline budget a sensitive topic may find relief in this model.
The car will be released into the open market by 2018
