@chorianopoulos2002 Actually if we could switch to next generation thorium based nuclear reactors, it would be inherently a lot safer than the current uranium/plutonium based reactors. Good luck trying to convince the lobbyists though..

Holy shit that thing looks like a sperm cell....

Is a helicopter powered by rotor tip rockets inherently more stable than a helicopter with rotors driven by a motor in the fuselage?
-
@GoldenChantarelle Nuclear power is inherently dangerous and can never be fully safe with any known technologies.
-
so whats the flight time and range?

This is great for countries which are mostly nuclear or water powered or have a lot of geothermal resources. For countries still using coal this isn't better in anyway.
I don't understand why the US doesn't replace their coal plants with nuclear plants.
Here in Europe only France and Finland are building new nuclear plants, France practically runs on nuclear. And here in sweden nuclear+hydropower+biogas covers almost all the electricity, so I think it would be truly no-carbon-releaser here.

@999bofh I think it's also important to remember that every step that we reduce our dependance on traditional fuels is a good thing. Similar steps can be made in other parts of the energy chain as technology allows.

Ooooooo KAY. I see a helicopter flying. What am I to make of that? You've made a perpetual motion machine? Uhhhh.... NO!

@999bofh indeed.
You can get non-carbon emitting electricity, e.g. wind, solar, wave, and nuclear power. It *could* be powered by a zero carbon emissions process.
H2O2 is nasty stuff though.

updat42 are you on drugs????? water vapor and oxygen byproduct "is"being powered by a zero emmissions engine
