Concept Cadillac Designed to Run for a 100 Years (without Refueling)

By Dan Gould on January 14, 2009

Designer Loren Kulesus has created an audacious Cadillac concept car with the (theoretical) ability to run for 100 years without refueling or maintenance. Powered by a thorium based nuclear battery system, the car would actually generate enough surplus energy that it could be used to power a small neighborhood or recharge lots of other devices. This Batmobile looking car also has several systems in place that allow very precise handling including 24 automatically adjusted micro-wheels and a flexible, muscle-like body. Though we don’t know how feasible (or safe) the technology is behind this fantastic car, it looks like a great idea.
