Cadillac World Thorium Fuel Concept Car - Neatorama


Cadillac World Thorium Fuel Concept Car - Neatorama

The concept car, designed by Loren Kulesus, would be powered by thorium, giving a time between refueling of 100 years. If you look closely, you might notice that each "wheel" is really six wheels, each with its own induction motor. The designer expects you could go five years between tire changes, but then you'd be changing a LOT of tires.

Gadgets: The Napkin PC

This concept PC takes the idea of scribbling an idea on a napkin a step farther by making the "napkin" a touch-sensitive e-paper sheet RF-linked to a nearby receiver as shown in this image. The base station can then be linked to a regular computer so that multiple base stations can be linked. Multiple napkins can be linked to make a larger writing surface. The RF link is inductive so the napkin doesn't need a transmitter, and using e-paper means the display is passive, not active so requires minimal power.
