Are electric trains bad for the environment?
Electric trains are generally considered more environmentally friendly than diesel trains because they produce lower greenhouse gas emissions. However, the overall environmental impact of electric trains depends on factors such as the source of electricity generation for powering the trains. Using renewable energy sources to generate electricity can further reduce their environmental impact.
What noise does a train make?
It depends on the type of train and if they are approaching a crossing. Electric trains are much quieter than diesel trains which are quieter than steam trains. Also freight trains and passenger trains sound different. It really does depend on many factors.
What do bullet trains run on Diesel?
They don't ... they're electric locomotives.
How can an acoustic guitar generally sounds louder than an electric guitar without an electronic amplifier?
An acoustic guitar is hollow, with a sound hole, allowing it the reverberate the sound, and making it louder. An acoustic guitar is always louder than an electric. (When the electric has no amp.) Acoustic is hollow allowing the sound to reflect off the inside and echo producing louder sound waves. (Like an auditorium.) whereas the electric is hard below the strings preventing any echo.
What are the problems of steam engine trains?
Lower efficiency than diesel, and much higher maintenance .
Do trains have a differential unit?
Most diesel-electric locomotives use electrical transmission and each wheel is driven individually by a electrical motor, rather than drive shafts. So there is no differential unit on these locomotives.
An electric train is moving north at 100kph and a wind is blowing to the west at 10kph Which way does the smoke blow?
No smoke on an electric train (unless its on fire).
What is the difference between a steam train and other trains?
Steam trains are powered by steam and relies upon the presure from the steam in the boiler. Diesel trains work the same way a normal car does with a motor and a lot of fuel. Electric trains rely upon the motor, but also a constant power connection either through a third rail or overheard wires. Diesel and electrical trains are normally faster and cleaner than steam. +++ Actually the motive power unit is a "locomotive" or (if steam) "engine"; NOT a 'train'. The "train" is the set of rolling-stock it tows.
Are electric guitars louder than any other guitars?
Depends on how many watts your amp puts out
Why is diesel electric used on locomotives?
Diesel electric is used on locomotives because the diesel electric system is much cleaner and quieter and more efficient than the old steam locomotives. The diesel fuel is used to run a generator which produces electric power which is used to power the electromagnetic drive motors mounted on the locomotives axles!
Where do trains refuel?
Electric trains (and electrically powered locomotives) do not need to refuel. Or you could say they are constantly fuelling themselves from the electric supply.Diesel trains and diesel locomotives are refuelled either at depots at the start or end of the working day, or at fuelling points at stations as necessary.Steam locomotives (which these days are only used on tourist nostalgia services) are fuelled with coal, and re-supplied with water, at depots and stations. This has to be done a lot more frequently than with diesels.
What type of fuel does the bullet train takes?
Bullet trains, particularly in Japan, primarily run on electricity rather than traditional fuel sources like diesel or gasoline. They utilize overhead electric lines to draw power, allowing for efficient and high-speed travel. This electric system contributes to lower emissions compared to fossil fuel-powered trains, making it a more environmentally friendly option for transportation.
