Video: The difference between winter tires and summer tires

In certain countries are not accustomed to the use of winter tires, you must admit. In my time working in a workshop, more than once had tried to convince business that winter tires mounted on their cars, given that by 60,000 or 70,000 kilometers a year, can justify the amount of such covered the months between November and March. Another option, if you have space in the garage or storage room, is having two sets of tires, and switching according to the month of the year you play.

More than a "snow textile fabrics, and if the snow is dry, not frozen, can be much more efficient than chains. Do not you think?

Ariel Atom - a concept car with a nuclear reactor

Whatever was said, but nuclear energy - the future of mankind. And after several decades of atomic can be not only plants and submarines, but also, for example, cars.

But it turns out - these are all temporary measures. Indeed, in the not too distant future, this is not required, and each car will be equipped with its own small nuclear reactor, from which it will work.
