Nuclear Powered Car (1958)

in #life10 years ago (edited)

The Ford Nucleon was a scale model concept car developed by Ford in 1958 as a design on how a nuclear-powered car might look. The design did not include an internal-combustion engine; rather, the vehicle was to be powered by a small nuclear reactor in the rear of the vehicle, based on the assumption that this would one day be possible by reducing sizes. The car was to use a steam engine powered by uranium fission similar to how nuclear submarines work.

crashing with that car would have been fun (somehow...)

Checking yourself out in the rearview mirror and you notice a big clump of hair in your hand.
