Atomic Battery

-

Look at the Tesla car and thinking the only thing holding it back is the battery power.

What if a car had a small radio active reactor. This replaces the battery weakness of holding a limited charge. 

The heating elements in the car need to be efficient, that is where aerodynamics and radiator checks in. 

Getting in a little bit more deep. If a personal vehicle of 300kgs had to move at day 40 KMPH. 

Precondition:  In even terrain the car consumes more than 3kW to maintain 40km/h.

In an ideal place, it take 4X times more force to move a body from constant. So that amount of power needed to a body of 300 kgs at 40 KMPL should be equal to moving 1200 kgs. Which will need a motor close to 1200W. 

Based on what I was able to find a small atomic battery will be the size if a penny and can last for 5,730 years to reach 50 per cent power, if it is a Carbon-14 one.

Process of growing a cell from a source cell. By the process of ... 1) Mitosis - the process your body cells use to make exact replicas of themselves 2) Meiosis - creates sperm or egg cells 3) Binary fission - how single-celled organisms like bacteria copy themselves for reproduction So, if the cost of growing birds or animals caught a massive carbon foot print, consider the above cell culture method. Also, since it lacks the assasination of an animal, it might also be veg. Food in a form. https://youtu.be/S78YRBqZFik

What did Tesla, The car company do? 1- For a long time the auto industry creative giants were Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Audi, GM and Ford. That got replaced by Tesla in less than 10 years. 2- Fire, is a cave man technology, that is used in a fossil fuel car. In a commercial succesful car, Tesla was to first to move out of cave man technology. 3- If any one were to buy a stock today. One of a factors to consider is rate of innovation. Why does it matter? Ask your self where was Amazon 10 years back. Today, it might not be the #1 shopping option for many products, at the same time helps us plan. If we find a better deal, also changes our  shopping behavior. Tesla has done a similar thing with sourcing to manufacturing, sales and after sales of a car.

http://www.sunmobility.co.in/ The biggest challenge for a EV is, battery. This firm, Sun Mobility offer a low cost option to EV vehicles. A charge of 8 hours is done in 2 hours. Currently, this addresses the issue for a 2 & a 3 wheeler. Already bangalore electric buses to grow in number, 150 charging stations coming up in karnataka, that contributes to a lot of pollution in developing countries.
