How much fuel does a locomotive hold?
Locomotive trains typically run off of either electricity or diesel fuel. A locomotive has a large compartmental container under it that holds roughly 2,200 gallons.
How much fuel does a diesel locomotive use?
Depending on the type of locomotive and what engine notch it is in, anywhere from 3.5 gal/hr at idle to 188 gal/hr at max engine output
How much diesel fuel needed to generate 1 ton of steam?

Are steam train engines better than diesel train engines?
The word "train" is superfluous there. Not sure what you mean by "better", but from a purely engineering perspective the diesel is much more efficient, i.e. it uses a lot less fuel to generate a given power output. Although the steam locomotive has very different torque characteristics it is not as powerful as an equivalent-service diesel locomotive. The diesel can also be turned off at the end of the run. A steam locomotive burns coal or oil all the time it is ready for service, and needs two "fuels": the fuel itself and prodigious amounts of clean water. Operationally, the steam locomotive is labour-intensive and however much we may romanticise the machine, much of that labour is heavy, grubby and unpleasant. It takes two skilled men to operate it, plus a team of shed-men on preparation, disposal, cleaning & maintenance. The diesel loco needs only one man (or woman) in the cab - a nice, comfy, clean cab at that - and far fewer "support staff". Both types are polluting, though that from a well-maintained steam locomotive in the hands of a good fireman and driver, and running properly on good-quality coal, is fairly low. It can present a fire hazard in some situations though. The bigger problem is when a steam locomotive is fired up from cold, since the natural draught in its chimney is too low to allow proper combustion so it emits a lot of mucky, sulphurous smoke. Where the steam locomotive does score over the diesel or electric is its comparative simplicity that means if it breaks down in service, it may be possible to nurse it to the nearest suitable station whereas the diesel loco is stuck. There is also a political point that the steam locomotive's fuel comes from potentially problematical sources whereas coal is more widely available.
How much does a train locomotive cost?
I saw a very small Witcomb locomotive refurbished for a narrow gauge selling for $550,000.00. I would say a full size locomotive would go for about anywhere from 1 to 3 million dollars. A brand new GE ES44AC would go for 2-3 million bucks
How much does a diesel locomotive locomotive?
Modern hood unit weight around 75 tonnes for 2000 HP passenger unit up to 250 tonnes for 6000+ HP freight units like the dual engined EMD DDA40X.
How does a Chinese diesel generator work?
A chinese diesel generator is the combination of a diesel engine with an electrical generator (often called an alternator) to generate electric energy. Diesel generating sets are used in places without connection to the power grid or as emergency power-supply if the grid fails. A Chinese generator is pretty much the same as a regular generator. Besides the fact that it is made in China there isn't a big difference in how they function.
How much diesel fuel is needed to generate 1 kw of electricity?
The amount of diesel fuel needed to generate 1 kW of electricity varies depending on the efficiency of the generator. On average, a diesel generator may consume about 0.25 to 0.4 liters of diesel fuel per kWh produced. Therefore, to generate 1 kW of electricity for one hour, approximately 0.25 to 0.4 liters of diesel fuel would be required, depending on the generator's efficiency and load conditions.
Is there enough wind in Florida to generate wind power?
I imagine that there is much wind in Florida to generate electricity through wind power apparatus.
