this is a continuing of rtg nuclear vechile
Starting with the rtg fuel (heating cell) to get 150-250 degrees celcius each cell will nead 20,000 curies being less than 150 grams a gram cost $20.00the fuel would cost a litte less than $3000 x2 $6000.
The sr90 will be about 1 cm in diameter and 2.5 cm tall cyndrical shape each weighing about 2000 curies each.
Each rod will be incased a sythetic diamond made from 10 ct of sythetic diamond costing about $60 x10 $600 x2 $1200 this brings cost total $7,200 on the on fuel and casing only.
The heat cell the configuration will look like two flanges with pipes conecting the two the distance between the two flanges will be 10 cm
the the nine sr90 rods wil be arranged around the rim with one in the center there will also be colunms to keep it from collapsing under high pressure. the size of the cell will be 10cm in diameter and 15cm tall the cell will also be a cylinder. the cell will have four motorized (solar powered) doors made from titanium (and have high heat inslating ability and impact resistance) that would only open when helium is being heated and closes when all the gas leaves making a cool enviroment when filling the tanks or in an emergency such as an accident.
the cost to manufacture this this cell will be around $1,000 each x10 10,00 x2 $20,000.
This whole cell will be in the center of a carbon fiber tank and the gas input will only be 1000psig 80 cu. ft heating will be to only 3200psi far below eruption level of carbon tanks.
The cost for two of these cells would be around $30,000 then you also have to take into account the cost of the following: car, compressor, wind turbines, solar panels, electric motor, batteries, and the generator (engine) at a max it would be around $90,000
$30,000 for the cell and fuel
$30,000 for a car that will be safe enough to use nuclear fuel and not scare anyone
$30,000 for the generator and drivetrain
and the only question is it actually worth it since the average driver only would spend $110,000.oo in 30yrs plus the vechile cost $30,000.oo 30mpg.
a hybrid would get cost $50,000 in gas over 30yr plus car cost $25,000 45mpg
a tesla would cost around $30,000 on electricity in 30yr plus the 100k $3per charge
compared to the one time in 30 yr cost of $7,200 in nuclear fuel
casium could be used as anlternative its 4x cheaper and 6x as much is produced in fallout and has a more convient halflife of 18.1 yrs but in reality the nuclear fuel isnt the cost issue but the other components and car safe enough for the hysterical masses
so if you want a solution tell someone
