This goes way off on a tangent, but depending on which timeline from the movies and which model of the Terminator it was either fueled by a nuclear power cell (about the size of a couple D sized batteries) or a hydrogen fuel cell the size of a computer chip. And remember this is suppose to be in the future year of 2029 that this things were made.I had assumed the Terminators were powered by a small atomic power plant, or nuclear fusion since it's the future.
If since the 1960's the US Navy has been able to power massive aircraft carriers for up to 20 years of continuous service without refueling thanks to their onboard nuclear power stations, I would assume a future robot bad guy would have a miniature version of that to give him at least a decade or so of bad guy fighting power.
Here's my latest AI Disneyland creation...
Welp, I think I broke the AI machine. Bing has been stuck on "creating" my latest picture for over 5 minutes and keeps sending me alerts that my request is taking them longer than usual. This is just like the end of that movie War Games, where the kid finally outsmarted the computer and averted World War III. I just broke AI and freed humanity from its clutches!
Both technologies while possible aren't unlimited power so require some type of refueling, and would have to be miniaturized tremendously before even getting to that point. The main issue with miniaturization with those fuel sources means lower capacity requiring more frequent refueling. Even SMRs, the current smallest nuclear reactors that are about the size of a standard SUV, only last 3-7 years before needing to be replaced/refueled. And to miniaturization that even further to get it into the size of a robot "heart" like a Terminator would require a loss of even more capacity.
So yeah they'd be more worried about trying to find a place to recharge than chasing after us.
