How are hydraulics used in a roller coaster?
For the medium capacity roller coasters, electro-magnetic launchers are used to launch roller coaster trains. Such a launch draws high peak powers up to 2 MW. For larger capacity roller coaster, with larger and heavier trains, an electro-magnetic launcher would draw too much power. For these high apacity coaster, Bosch Rexroth developed a hydraulic launch system which is capable of accumulating required power in between the launches. This allows for heavy (high capacity) train launches within the limitations of the power net.
How do the roles of potential and kinetic energy differ between the newer catapult launched coasters and the older style of roller coaster?
In some newer coaster designs, a catapult launch sets the train in motion. There are several sorts of catapult launches, but they all basically do the same thing. Instead of dragging the train up a hill to build up potential energy, these systems start the train off by building up a good amount of kinetic energy in a short amount of time.
