Fast Train - The Race for Speed | Full Documentary

[@mohalim9015]

Let us not forget this: the world's first HST was the Japanese Shinkansen, NOT the French TGV.

[@c-1770]

YES! YES! YES! a big YEEEEES! After two atomic drop after a ww2 JAPAN is the first HST BULLET train. such a country that after WW2 can develop and RISE like a sun in a morning DICIPLINE,RESPECT AND ANTI CORRUPTION.

[@DavidJohnson-jp4mw]

Got to look at all records and timing

[@hasanakman6227]

Noooo , noooo , no.! France : 1955. 331 km/h.....Japan shınkansen 1964. Speed➡️210 km/h......France = Number one.

[@NatPavasant]

@@hasanakman6227And that 331km/h run broke both the rail and the pantograph. I think you are confused between "test run" and "commercial service". Japan bagan commercial service of the Shinkansen in 1964 at 210km/h (raised to 220km/h the following years). France high-speed service TGV bagan commercial service in 1981, 17 years after Shinkansen, at 270km/h.

[@t_2756]

Oh boy. The producer of this doc does not even know the difference between Shinkansen and Maglev. They show shinkansen when talking about Maglev.

[@jayasuriyas2604]

Yeah

[@Js0896]

It is Chūō Shinkansen, so technically, the name is not wrong; they show the wrong train

[@PahatRout]

Well, they think it is their rights to distort truth, indeed any time convenient to them.

[@yesyesnono6969]

This is so europe-french based, the japanese's innovation is only mentioned for like a minute 😂

[@nissanownsyou]

Should call this the history of French trains because other faster trains are a footnote in the narrative.

[@anmolagrawal5358]

yeah lol, shinkansen is only briefly mentioned even though it blew any of its contemporaries out of the water

[@Greenman5582]

They also seemingly imply that France was the first to mainline electrification, which is completely false.

[@thetechnocrat4979]

​@@Greenman5582 France was the first for 25 kV AC electrification.

[@rayshowsay1749]

I've made it to 9:00, and I think I've had enough of navel-gazing and self-indulgence when the impression is given of sand being 'discovered' as a way to increase traction during the developmet of French high-speed rail. It's use dates back to not long after the birth of the steam railway! Puffery at its best.

[@TheExileFox]

Hyperloop is will never work. Getting the low pressure in the loop takes 45 minutes at best for the test track, and that's when it's not even down to optimal level. Ontop of that, it's an instant deathtrap in case a seal or something fails because the air from the cabin will escape immediately

Elon Musk is a huckster. It is his method of doing business and it is too unserious to be considered safe, honest or reliable. Best to ignore every claim he makes.

[@umbrobose1503]

The most commercially successful high-speed rail is the Shinkansen. The Shinkansen runs at a high frequency of every 5 minutes, runs accurately in seconds, and is safe and accident-free.

[@irmtouch]

The Shinkansen is a separate double track just like the subway, without the concept of a railway network

[@nakagawarem5729]

​@@irmtouchbecause if you look at the Japanese railroad majority of it are Using narrow gauge thats its seperated from the network unlike France which they using Standard Gauge

[@cobrellie]

What a great documentary … thank you

[@ce1834]

Sped up TGV trains on intro 🙄, record was with a different modified/shortened set

[@charlie44266]

Since this is a "science" stream -- "500 volt current" is a non-sense phrase. According to SI, current is measured in ampere, not volts or watts. What volts measure are electric potential. A value in volts or in ampere does not measure the power of a locomotive,

[@Forti42]

You can measure a current voltage and get Volts while Ampere refers to the current current, hehe.

[@charlie44266]

@@Forti42 In a circuit, at a single point you measure only a single voltage Between two points you measure a voltage drop. At any single place you measure only one current. Between any two places there is not current drop. All places in circuit experience the same current. Voltage tells you how strongly the battery is pushing. Current tells you how much it pushes. Neither tell you how powerful the electricity. To measure that you need the product of voltage and current. Power is measured in watts. If you find a train on a 2000 volt line with no current flowing, it will go nowhere. If its on a zero volt line with no current it goes nowhere. It is only when both current and voltage are not zero that it has the power to create movement.

[@childObliterator]

i don't know about this one, i mean the SC Maglev seems pretty fast to me..

[@Homeschoolsw6]

I like slow trains. Is that weird?

[@davids6533]

If it is weird, then I'm weird too. If I wanted speed, I'd fly. I'd like to get on a train that rolled along at about 20 - 30 mph and just enjoy the ride and the view.

[@Homeschoolsw6]

@@davids6533 Once you get over the sound of the wheels impacting the rails, by train is the only way to travel. Cars are dangerous and so are planes. Likewise by sea. But as long as the path the rails follow is secure, your good. Rail in war time is bad because the enemy only needs to destroy one rail. if they do that ahead and behind the train, you're trapped.

[@grahamstevenson1740]

There was nothing incredible about the aerotrain. It was impractical. How many passengers could it transport ? 60 maybe ? Real trains have no trouble with 600 passengers.

[@bjorn1583]

the japanese maglev does have rails (just not steel) and it even has wheels so therefore japan holds the record of a train on rails and not the tgv

[@Ven100]

It'll be interesting to see if the new TGV M will be allowed to operate faster than 320 KMH.

[@NikanDragosysSerpenDra]

i find it weird, as new trains will be allowed operate at 380km/h like the CRH380 whilst they barely reached 500km/h> in all fairness tp run faster maybe a 185km/h - 220km/h margin constant margin could be efficient until we decide to run train beyond 420km/h then a margin of 245km/h and 270km/h seems fair enough maybe a constant margin, increasing constant and/or step constant margins, and what needs to be taken into consideration between 185km/h and 220km/h is the type of train, train catenairy, bogeys, aerodynamics, track geometry, track wear and tear, train wear and tear, FOD Strikes at the train or cabin and other douzens of cafety regulated matetters like with current catery 420... no it'll need to be redesigned instead of swining right and left at every tower, you slightly reduce the distance and swipe the catenary left to right every two towers, also what needs to be considered is the train type is it rigid or a tilting train, does it have central articulated between two carriages or are they more like the ICE... i find this documentary fascinating at the start but it's old news into the second half really.

[@NikanDragosysSerpenDra]

nvm the CRH380 is a siemens velaro train with and aerodynamic kit and bigger wheels. 350? god i've seen videos of chinese velaro's as ppassanger and cab view: LOUD, vibrations, oscillation, and general poor performance. no... Chinese are cheap and they know it. no wonder South Korea got the TGV technology, what is the UK doing though?

[@railwaymechanicalengineer4587]

@@NikanDragosysSerpenDra The British network is busily degenerating back into the third World. Thanks to the idiotic Political interference which abolished British Railways (run by professional railway engineers qualified in all railway departments) & replacing it with a "Micky Mouse" Franchise network. This allows train builders and others not responsible for the actual operation of the network, to add every technical gimmick they desire, charge higher costs for the products, and as a result reduce the efficiency of the railways trains from a staggering 300,000 miles between faults in 1990, to a current efficiency of roughly 80,000-100,000 miles between faults. A similar scenario applies to much of the rest of the system, including signalling & track maintenance !! And GUESS WHO PAYS - The tax payer !!!! Indeed even the main freight train operator in Britain is "Deutsch Bundesbahn (DB)" who are busily creaming all its profits back into the German State Railway Network, at the expense of the British public, and to the benefit of the German taxpayer !!! No wonder train fares in Britain are higher than most of the rest of the World !

How can one enjoy the sceneries of the country side if train moves so fast. What is the market? Tourists, commuters, businesmen, cargo? These should be carefully evaluated and optimally balanced.

The British invented the Railways during the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837-1901 and Prince Albert until his death in 1861 during the Victorian age and the Industrial Revolution - its a real shame that so many historical lines were closed and made unviable yet new lines are having to to be built and rebuilt, for example in Ireland - in the U.K. aside from the ECML & WCML high speed rail never really took off and the highest speed ever achieved was only 125 mph, the only other exception being the Eurotunnel to France
