Since actual Tokamak reactors are huge, this wouldn't happen. Further, fusion materials are not actually explosive, so would actually happen (if somebody miniaturized a Tokamak and stuck it in a car) would be the car melting as the heat escapes.

You need to watch more Hollywood movies, everybody knows that cars explode violently half a second before impact innocent.gif


BEFORE impact? skeptical.gif

Of course, they are impatient buggers. They also like blowing up from collisions bigger than rabid rabbit strikes on bumpers. innocent.gif

There's no limit to what humanity can do when they put their mind to it. Me and a guy at work had a theory that God is just humanity from the future that had advanced its technology to the point where they could travel time and manipulate matter with their mind, etc.

So, the next time someone tells you how nerdy they are, ask them this question: with what weapon did Megatron kill Optimus Prime? If they have no answer, punch them in the face and say "You're no nerd, just a **** with a broken nose."

Nuclear bombs are also fission reactions, not fusion.

Do you think if a team of nuclear scientists came up with cold fusion they'd get super rich, like be the Bill Gates story of the 21st century?
