"...Them": Its maximum speed was around 249 km/h (around 180 mph). And it had engines from Yak-40 passenger jet plane. It was shown at the Great Siberian Railway main terminus..but being too cold to go outside so no-one saw it and therefore its actual excistance was denied for many years,..even by its own crew..."FAS ha scritto:uau dove l'hai presa,
qualche notizia in piú???
"This jet-enhanced train car was tested (successfully) in the summer of 1966. This was the time when rail-road usage declined in America, as the interstate highway system completed its major routes and airlines drew increasing numbers of travelers. New York Central research team, led by Don Wetzel, was assigned a task to collect data on possible high-speed rail service and whether the tracks could handle high-speed passenger traffic.
Wetzel and his crew adapted two General Electric J-47-19 jet engines, which had been designed as boosters for the Convair B-36 intercontinental bomber. These were mounted just above the engineer’s station at the front of the car. Wetzel’s original design had the jet engines at the rear, but this changed after his wife, making her point with some sketches on a dinner napkin, suggested that the locomotive would look better with them mounted up front. This switch also helped keep the nose of the locomotive on the tracks. The Cleveland shop fashioned a black streamlined cowling for the front of the Budd car, which was designated M-497. Workers called it the Black Beetle."
..... non meno "inquietante" .....It was a glorious never-to-be vision of the future. Just imagine it dear reader: Local trains blowing through the sleepy local suburban stations at 180 MPH sucking wayward luggage and small children off the platforms, geeky life-hating trainspotters being inhaled by the screaming of the General Electric J-47-19 jet engines sadly even before they could even take its number and the dull, sooty, and painfully traditional blue and white pillow ticking of the engine drivers uniforms being replaced by the bright silver of Chuck Yeagers hand-me-Downs.

Perchè proprio anteriori?
In quel modo tutti i passeggeri verrebbero assordati da un boato allucinante.
Pensate cosa sentite se mettete in motori di un MD80 ai lati del muso anzichè dietro! (l'esempio calza).
Mica tanto.Almost Blue ha scritto: Facciamo subito.In un treno davanti e di dietro sono relativi, dipende da dove vogliamo girarlo.
Ci hanno già pensatoAldus ha scritto:Piuttosto... ma un treno a turbina a gas è mai stato inventato?
Se le turbine a gas li usano gli elicotteri per trasferire potenza al rotore magari si potrebbe usare per trasferire potenza direttamente alle ruote.
Vabbè è un'idea scema, lo so () ma almeno l'ho buttata lì.
This is one of the few remaining Chrysler Turbine cars that actually runs. It sounds like a jet airplane!
Capito? ..... tequila .....Jay Leno's shows off his rare 1963 powered by gasTurbine engine The car sounds like a giant vacuum cleaner at the Friday Classic car night at Bob's Big Boy in Toluca Lake
The fourth-generation Chrysler turbine engine ran at up to 60,000 rpm and could use diesel fuel, unleaded gasoline, kerosene, JP-4 jet fuel, and even vegetable oil. The engine would run on virtually anything and the president of Mexico tested this theory by running one of the first cars--successfully--on tequila. Air/fuel adjustments were required to switch from one to another.
only 50 were made
This was shot at Supercar Sunday. Below is some material on this magnificent Chrysler.
Chrysler Turbine Cars were automobiles powered by gas turbine engines that the Chrysler Corporation assembled in a small plant in Detroit, Michigan, USA in 1963, for use in the only consumer test of gas turbine-powered cars. It was the high point of Chrysler's decades-long project to build a practical turbine-powered car.
E meno male che è stato un flop .....L_P ha scritto:
