with why they dont fly off, trains are heavy. And they do not have wings. Furthermore, the shape of the front of high speed train, in addition to reducing aerodynamic drag, actually produces downward lift like the spoiler on a car
The reason they don't fly off the rails is the countries like France have railways purpose built for high speed trains. Their tracks are mostly straight lines or very wide curves.
Thomas the Tank Engine is based on an actual class of locomotive , so they have used the speed that that class is capable of. All of the vehicles in The Railway Series were based on prototypical engines; Thomas's basis is the LB&SCR E2 class
Locomotive is easy to understand. Loco - locale, motive - motion, for the steam ones, it's got the boiler and for the diesel ones, it's got the engine. You can also do it electric, but with electric you can basically put the electric engines on any axle and driving it from the front one isn't the most efficient. As for the Eurostar, it's from Europe ... it's the train that goes from London under the Channel to either Paris or Brussels. It's the one that goes under the sea. I wouldn't consider a MagLev a train. Doesn't run on track. It's magnetic levitation. The easy way to understand that one: you know magnets... opposite poles attract and the same poles repel? Now there are also electro-magnets. Magnets that are only active if you apply an electric current to them. If you place magnets on the vehicle and then use electricity to power magnets in the "rails" you can repel the train above it, so it floats. That's the levitation. Now if you then turn off the magnet at the front of the train it will start to fall forwards. Of course, as the train moves, you need to turn the electromagnet back on, so you keep pushing the train upwards and forwards. The whole benefit of the train not touching a set of rails is that that eliminates the friction between the train wheels and the rails. Less friction means less force to work against... of course there's still all the air that has to be pushed aside, huge friction there. It does allow a maglev to go real fast. Of course, the downside is you have to have electromagnets in the rails and those have to have a lot of power. So it's not very economical. Also when it comes to train services, the more stations you want to connect to, to make it more viable, the harder it becomes to get much speed, because you need to stop the train in order to let the passengers board. Accelerating and decelerating takes more time and energy. High speed rails only tends to connect the really big cities. Typical intercity trains go a bit slower. Then again we just have huge double-deckers, so we can move a lot of people around. The Schienenzeppelin is a really special one. It is driven by a propeller at the back. Like propeller planes and big ships.
More precisely: The word locomotive originates from the Latin loco 'from a place', ablative of locus 'place', and the Medieval Latin motivus 'causing motion', and is a shortened form of the term locomotive engine, which was first used in 1814 to distinguish between self-propelled and stationary steam engines. -wikipedia So locomotive engine means an engine that moves as opposed to one that stays where it is. Steam Traction Engines are also known as road Locomotives
Should watch this document about the TGV speed records of 574.8 Km/H in 2007 on railways. The document is in french but contains original subtitles in english for non french speakers. ruclips.net/video/fNrg11GHIik/видео.html
Please note that he Russian Velaro is a German/french (bombardier owned by Alstom)train from Siemens that also run in turkey, spain ... it is nothing of russian tech. The 3 beast in train are France, germany and Japan. The italian train is made by France/japan (Alstom and Hitachi)
@@benedekhalda-kiss9737 Sadly, Train, tram and most of publi transport except planes are a sector abandon by the US. There where somme attempt to revolutionaze it with project like hyperloop but the gap is just too high to recover
the flags are where those trains are running and not where they're built and the speed is the max operating speed, not the max possible speed. and a lot of the high speed trains are built by a few companies, like bombardier, alstom, hitachi and siemens

The FR1000 is made in italy by ansaldobreda and bombardier partnership. Don't talk without knowing
@@inwedavid6919and It left the Pistoia plant in 2013 which is located in Italy. ETR400 is an entirely Italian product

Great Video!
El record español son 403.7 km/h. Velaro de Siemens serie 103
04:59 at London to Rome and at Berlin to Madrid = more then 2000 miles /3200 km range one train line.
the flags are where those trains are running and not where they're built and the speed is the max operating speed, not the max possible speed.

Make me realize how much we accomplished and as we see yhe train's get better makes me realize how advanced we really are
Most of the European trains you see here run internationally to try to compete with air travel
Tgv should be number one
CHINA and RUSSIA use the GERMAN VELARO TRAIN, ICE TRAIN base , and ICE never break a record at all .........
Mention to the uk HST 125 , DIESEL world fastest train , a DIESEL BEAST on my opinion like FRENCH CC72000 or EURO 4000
German ICE is the same speed than tgv and the eurostar

Not a train neither the maglev......
Trains ARE ON TRACKS.......
