How are computers involved in solar powered train?
There is no such thing as a solar powered train in existence today, and most likely never will be due to the electrical demands on a train. There are plans to use solar power to power an electric train, but it is simply an electric train and the plan to use solar panels for generating the electric power has no impact on the electric train which could be powered by conventional ppwer sources as well.
What provides power for a train?
Most often electricity, but there are diesel and steam trains powered by coal.
How fast can a solar powered train go?
the average solar powered train can go atleast 35-60 mph
What is solar power powered by?
Solar Power is powered by the sun
Will the maglev train pollute your atmosphere?
yes. in running the train, some power is still needed to propel the train forwards. Although some of this can be regained by regenerative braking, there will inevitably be some loss. Unless the train is fully powered on renewables, there will still be pollution as a result of running the train. Even if the train is powered on renewablesand generates no pollution in running, the energy and resources to build the train (not to mention tracks etc) have to come from somewhere, most likely with resultant atmospheric pollution.
What is the name of a train that is powered by opposing magnets?
Bullet train, developed in Japan.
Is there any difference between a locomotive and a steam train?
A locomotive (also called an engine) is a vehicle that provides the power to pull (or push) a train. As well as the locomotive, the train consist of the vehicles which actually contain what is being transported. These can be either freight wagons, or passenger carriages. Locomotives are classified depending on how they are powered. The first locomotives were steam powered (a 'steam engine'), modern locomotives are either powered by electricity or by a diesel engine (an 'electric locomotive' or a 'diesel locomotive'). A steam train is a train which is being powered by a steam engine. Some passenger trains have diesel or electric motors under the carriages and do not need a separate locomotive.
How is a train moved?
Methods of train locomotion differ widely depending on the use of the train. Inter-city trains like subways and some commuter rails are powered by electricity delivered through an third rail or overhead power line. Trains with larger loads and longer hauls will usually provide their own power by usually burning fuel. Regardless of power source, the train's engines reside on the train so that it is moving itself.
Who invented the seam powered train?
Aflred Vail
How is the DBAG Class 612 train powered?
The DBAG Class 612 train is a two car diesel German train with a diesel motor in service from 1998-2003. It's transmission is powered by hydraulic means.
How are destroyers powered?
* destroyers are powered by solar power and they have to be used by the solar powered
What is used to pull a train?
The locomotive pull a string of cars that make up a train. The locomotive was first powered by steam, but now they are mostly powered by diesel electric motors.
