Nice video. I came to know first time that diesel locomotive engine driven trains have actually diesel electric engine which equipped with electric traction motor rather than complex mechanical gear & clutch system. Thank you sir.
Not all diesel locomotives are exclusively 2-stroke, In fact only GM products were 2-stroke. Alco, General Electric, English Electric, Sulzer, Ruston, were four-stroke. Also they many produce DC power not AC as explained in video.
Indeed! The engine filmed in the video is clearly a V-16 with overhead valves. This is a four-stroke design. In a two-stroke engine, the ports or valves are at the crankshaft end of the cylinders, because there's no other possible way to combine intake with compression, power with exhaust.
@@starfishsystems nope its a detroit diesel thats exactly how it works, thats why it comes with a blower intake to push intake air into the cylinders, the crankshaft is immersed in engine oil like 4 stroke design....this is not a puny 2 stroke bike engine
Very interesting. Diesel electric locomotives have been in existence for very long. We should learn a lot from these engines. The world and India are very determined to have electric automobiles, but the problem is the the battery. We do not have a charging network and charging takes time. If super capacitors become cheap it will be a very big help. For the time being we can do with hybrids. This is where the experience of diesel electric locomotives will be a great help.
Well the main reason of why were transferring into electricity powered vehicles is so we reduce carbon emissions and reduce the effect of climate change and etc. you know this stuff if you werent locked up in a cave for the past 20 years. i dont think transforming mechanical energy into electrical would really lower them honestly i think itd have the adverse effect. I mean its logical beacuse no energy transformation is lossless. Reason why trains have this technology is beacuse dc current motors have maximum torgue at any given rpm and also dont require a transmission so that leads to lower need for maintenance, more reliability and better control.
@@rock_star_boy8967 Electric vehicles will not reduce the net pollution. The only difference will be pollution will be transferred from cities to the coal thermal power stations. 75 percent of the electricity in India is produced by coal thermal power plants. DC motors have their own problems. Since variable speed drives have become cheap, shift is towards AC motors.
Well youre right in this point of view thats why climate change is a much broader problem that requires major changes in the whole infrastructures of nations. My argument was solely based on your claim that this type of train technology would be a substitute to electric cars or hybrid cars but thats not true since it would lead to no improvement at all.
@@rock_star_boy8967 Innovation is a continuous affair. It cannot happen overnight. Many improvements and good things keep happening. Earlier we were satisfied with Fiat and Ambassador. Now so many good cars have come. Tatas have come out with eTigor and Nexon ev. The only problem is charging. Andhra Pradesh is having upper reservoir and lower reservoir. When surplus solar power is there, they will pump to upper reservoir. When they need power they will use the hydro power.
Ayn Rand would say that this technological achievement is worthy of admiration....for the men who envisioned it, for those who did the actual construction, for the mechanics who maintain it, for anyone with a mind to technological beauty. I totally agree!
I worked on a US Army program a few years back that was tasked with developing a new class of manned ground vehicles. The basic chassis for these vehicles utilized a diesel/electric propulsion similar to the way a diesel/electric locomotive works. The program never made it through initial development not because the propulsion system wouldn't work, but because the Army would never stop changing requirements.
I was reluctant to watch this video at first. Because of the page title " Let's grow up " I found it rather insulting at first. Should be changed to " Let's Learn Together " Or something. But i did enjoy the video. Thank you for sharing.
2:06 Actually the graph of output current does not look like that and looks different for a half wave and a full wave rectifier. A full wave rectifier will give pretty much the same shape as the AC input, but the lower portions of the graph are reflected up. Sort of like a |sinx| graph.
EMD made the first North America diesel electric locomotive in 1937. The majority of locomotive engines in North America were made by Detroit Diesel and Fairbanks Morse. The engines shown were made by Detroit Diesel which made two stroke engines. Fairbanks Morse made both two stroke and four stroke. Fairbbanks also made a vertically opposed cylinder arrangement. Small yard switchers would typically use Detroit Diesel, Cummins, or Caterpiller engines. Modern diesel engines are four stroke. The largest fuel tanks are about 21,000 litres.
Great information working about diesel Locomotive.
Thanks 👍

Okay. Good information about locomotive.
Not all diesel locomotives are exclusively 2-stroke, In fact only GM products were 2-stroke. Alco, General Electric, English Electric, Sulzer, Ruston, were four-stroke. Also they many produce DC power not AC as explained in video.
so these are dc brushed motors running the show?
Indeed! The engine filmed in the video is clearly a V-16 with overhead valves. This is a four-stroke design. In a two-stroke engine, the ports or valves are at the crankshaft end of the cylinders, because there's no other possible way to combine intake with compression, power with exhaust.

EMD has a 4 stroke engine in their S(T/D)70AC(E)T4
@Stephen Miller Yes u are exactly correct

Very Clear Idea Sir, Thank You Sir 🙏🏻
Helped my little kid how trains work! Awesome video!
Very nice video 👌👌👌
Understanding Simply 🙏
How these sorts of things are invented in the first place is amazing ! There some very clever people in the world that's for sure.
It wasn’t just invented. It’s a mix of a lot of different inventions.

Yes, there are some very clever people in the world, I wish that I was one of them.

Aereaux this vehicle would have been massively heavy most likely. Would have been very expensive to operate as it would not be very fuel efficient.
Cool, now Biden can give it to the Taliban.

Bhai capacitor se filter karenge to aisa hi graph hoga
Capacitive filters are added to remove variation
Really good explanation
Thanks good video guys ,and that real video also helped to understand well. Keep up the good work
This helpful for me

Super and God bless you bro ❤️❤️❤️
I don't know abc about this function. Now i understand this
Like the video very much.
Usefull
Many thanks! Very useful video.
Very nicely explained
My grandson got me interested in trains. I take him to the yards once a month. The employees there are great
That's awesome
Good knowledge!
Not all diesel locomotives have big V12 or V16 engines. The shunting or switching locos usually have smaller inline 6 or inline 8 cylinder engines.
Thank you for this video 🙏🙏
Thanks for your explanation... நன்றி
Thank you
Very Useful Keep Doing These Videos
Very concise and informative.
