    The diesel pulls it's own weight and generates electricity for the facilities inside the coaches. The steam locomotive is doing all the work.

      @welsh_Witch Před 4 lety +21

      It's also there to pull it backwards cos no run around loops now and in case it breaks but other than that the steam engine does it all

      @davecrupel2817 Před 4 lety +17

      The diesel doesnt pull anything. The motors are disengaged. All the diesels are providing is power.
      Hell, it doesnt even have tom the steam engines have a dynamo (steam version of a gas generator) that produces some serious power.

      The diesel locomotive is ONLY for the train control system. Old cars can produce electrical energy themselves using a small generator. Either via a belt drive on an axis or with a cardanic drive.

      It could happen with coal mines being closed. Heritage Steam in uk is struggling to keep a local mine open. There is a lot of opposition by the lefties. HS may be forced to import from Russia after 2022 which may prove to be too costly.

    Go for steam without smoke, hot metal is an alloy where the small particles in each metal stimulates the movement of each other, that creates heat. The energy is from the Unified Field.
    The speed of the 3642 is 80km/h. With 10m2 40mm hotmetal it can be 90 km/h and add rebalance wheels it can go 180km/h. left front driver reduce 80g on the counterweight 5cm from the wheelrim.
    2nd wheel add 90g 3rd add 78g right side: power is in the Unified Field front wheel add 90g second wheel add 89g 3rd wheel reduce 90g.

    We left steam too soon. I believe, that with today's technology, steam can burn cleaner, and be more fuel efficient, than modern diesel-electric. Modifications to the lubrication systems could make steam less maintenance intensive, than diesel. I also like the fact that steam locomotives can burn ANYTHING as fuel. Any solid, liquid, or gas as fuel.(the ultimate "flex fuel" engines!)

      @vincentrobinette1507 Před 3 lety

      @@davidantoniocamposbarros7528 Much cleaner: First off, burning Bio-mass is carbon neutral. For wood to grow, it takes carbon dioxide out of the air. When burnt, it only releases EXACTLY what it took to grow it. It's merely a very indirect form of solar storage. As far as the steam locomotive boiler, a combined gasification combustion process can all but eliminate NOx and CO emissions. The engine itself, would be a positive displacement equivalent to the turbines used in existing power plants. Throttling the engine by varying the percentage of admittance makes a simple double action engine behave like a multi expansion engine, which yields better thermal efficiency than a turbine at part throttle. (Turbines are efficient, but only at or near full rated power)
