tbh only way a nuclear tank would likely work would be if you took the german p 1000 ratte concept and basically built a land battleship with it but at that point you've just made a very big very slow very attractive target for bombers, tactical missiles, and artillery
it's arguably a way to commit war crimes by weird loopholes. Send in the poorly armored reactor on tracks to the frontline and when the enemy blows it up, it will contaminate the entire area, but you didn't nuke the enemy (which is illegal) , the enemy blew up a machine which was powered by a nuclear reactor. Otherwise it wouldn't have leaked.
What kind of tank design do you think could work out in the style of combat that goes on the Gundam series with hyper advance extremely agile and fast mechs that have speeds and ranges that would just be ridiculous to deal with by other sci fi verses? What kind of tank do you think you would design to fight and take out Gundam mechs? I would imagine it would be something able to out range and out last them, with the needed speed and point defense systems and protective shielding and armor hull to handle Gundams. Hyper ballistic missiles, long range plasma beams, autoguns and anti-aircraft guns would be needed with shielding properties against the Gundams. And something needed to power the tanks.
Even that was a pipe dream as they could never pack enough fuel rods into the size required to produce the power needed. Fun fact most non russian reactors are molten salt cooled. Its less prone to producing gaseous voids.
Good video. Nuclear tanks would very difficult to maintain and deal with all the factors and consequences in a real life setting due to nuclear reactors and the many consequences which would have to be dealt with properly. In a sci fi setting those can be reduced more significantly. You know there is a unexplored powering technology most people don't know about that Nikola Testla discovered before he quote on quote "passed away" he called it "Etheric Energy" which he was developing on which would a nearly unlimited powering resource. A subject which earned Nikola alot of heat and pressure by multiple powerful governing and elitists parties who were allied with each other and specifically focused on attacking anything related to what Nikola was testing and adapting. Because it threatened their authority and intended designs. I wonder what a Tank powered by Etheric Energy would look like. Something utilizing alot of electricity as a weapon I would imagine. Using arc emitters or plasma based weaponry. Energy based weaponry.

@@zahylon5993 I mean hey it's never a warcrime the first time as long as you win

Aliens franchise, Colonial Marines vehicals. Whats up with that folding turret?
Several frat houses would like to challenge your claims on them being inferior gas producers to nuclear rockets.
🤣🤣🤣
Only thing I can think that would be applicable for a nuclear tank engine would be the molten salt reactor planned to be used in the B36 bomber

Great video as always I but I was wondering your view of the starwars AT-TE
Twilight 2000 campaign? The ww3 rpg not the other one.
Was told to not comment... so here I am... not commenting.
Hey brother you doin ok?
Sure am. Thank you for asking
nuclear reactors are the real life Kojima power plants from armored Core for Answer don't mess with them
Sweet
hell yeah
Have you ever considered trying make the US nuclear tank work with your experience? At least on a hypothetical level.

Energy based weaponry.
Tesla was a genius but etheric energy is bogus. Someone else would have found about it in the last 100 years if it had any real basis
👍👍👍👍
Stay safe and healthy bro!
