Is there any car out there like some of the cars from fallout like pic related? I dont mean nuclear powered, i mean sedans with 3 rows of seats

Old taxis and extended wheelbase limos usually had fold up backup seats for cramming more people. Funeral limos are 3 rows long with normal seats. Otherwise station wagons had a third row facing the opposite direction.

Not the 3 rows of seats thing but they did legitimately experiment with nuclear powered cars.
Idk if one was ever actually built though.
>>
>>14120643

To be honest, theryre just extreme steam cars
>>
>>14120654
Pretty much. Nuclear powered steam cars if we are honest, thats all a nuclear reactor is lol, nuclear fission gets the boiler hot instead of burning coal.
>>
>>14120643
No there wasn't any real nuclear powered cars. Nuclear power plants are currently the smallest nuclear reactors that exist. Lockheed Martin is currently working on a compact reactor and when finished in the near future, it will be the size of a shed.

RTG on Curiosity, the other operating one is solar powered.

You may want to look up what a radioisotope thermoelectric generator is.
>>
>>14120849
RTGs won't power an Earth car unless you're ok with going 3 mph.
>>
>>14121023
>>14121035
This.

An RTG is like the energy equivalent of a few D-size batteries, except it can last decades longer. Perfect for use on space probes and landers, not so much on earth-bound vehicles.

IIRC the Curiosity rover only covers like .15 miles per day, and thats not when its gathering data or performing experiments.

Maybe some time in the distant future we'll have vehicles powered by miniaturized fusion reactors, but I think battery technology will be so good by then we'll have cars that can run thousands of miles before needing to be charged again, which can be done in minutes.

Commercial plants are fucking huge. Submarine and some research reactors have already been made fairly smallish, there were prototype heavy truck based reactor designs.

US Department of Energy made/is making a suitcase sized reactor that can power up to 8 houses.

yes they literally just have a lump of plutonium on board which is warm, and they harvest energy from that warmth. they're really low powered but last for decades.

But thats wrong. My University has a SLOWPOKE 2 research reactor that is only a few feet wide.

yeah, it's called the 50's.
fallout cars are just 50's cars if 50's cars ran on nuclear fusion.

Ford Nucleon.

>>14120761
But that's wrong anon.

Nuclear engines for submarines and aircraft carriers exist.

Suitcase sized reactors and bombs exist, US DOE has made both. They can power up to 8 houses per suitcase.

Suitcase nukes are a myth. The critical mass for a fission device is too high to lug around in a suitcase.

Oh, and you still need regular explosives to make the critical mass happen in one place when you want it, rather than during assembly of the bomb. So, you'd be found out by a sniffer dog pretty quick.

The only real way to do a suitcase nuke is to do a multiple-suitcase nuke. Meet up with a load of friends, all with suitcases full of plutonium. You meet on a train, let's say, and put the cases together in a luggage rack. Then after you get enough together, you get criticality. Assuming you didn't die of cancer on the way there due to the radioactivity.

>Then after you get enough together, you get criticality.
Plus you still need to compact them really fucking hard or get a neutron collimator, otherwise you just get neutron scattering and very quickly get to a subcritical state. Basically melt everything for a quick sec, instead of a mushroom cloud nuke.
