TITLE

NEW GENERATION HIGH SPEED TRAIN

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention presents a new type of high speed train which can be extended to all passenger trains.

STATE OF THE ART

Remember the well-known formula of physics F = MA where the applied force is proportional to the mass and acceleration. Therefore, the energy used is also proportional to the mass. Assuming that a passenger with his luggage weighs 100 kilos, it turns out that most of the energy used is spent on carrying around iron and plastic. Referring to well-known Italian High Speed commercial trains, we have the following technical characteristics:

Carriage: length 26 meters

Carriage: unladen weight 40 tons

Carriage: 68 second class seats, 54 first class seats

In the case of class II, the total mass becomes 40 (68 x 100) = 46.8 tons

In the case of class II the total mass becomes 40 (54 x 100) = 45.4 tons By dividing the weight of the passengers by the total mass we have:

Class II mass transported as a percentage = 6.8 / 46.8 x 100 = 14.53%

I class mass transported in percentage = 5.4 / 45.4 x 100 = 11.01%

So in the case of class II, 85.47 percent of the energy expended is used to carry around iron and plastic.

Similarly, in the case of class I T88.99 percent of the energy expended is used to carry around iron and plastic.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The proposed system provides for the replacement of second-class carriages with coaches or city buses, some of which are listed below:

Commercial bus:

Length: 12.20 m

Mass: 10.94 tons

Seats: 40

In this case the total mass becomes 10.94 (40 x 100) = 14.94 tons

Mass transported as a percentage = 4.0 / 14.94 x 100 = 26.77%

So in this case only 73.23 percent of the energy expended is used to carry around iron and plastic.

Long commercial bus:

Length: 15.60 m

Mass: 24 tons

Seats: 58

In this case the total mass becomes 24 (58 x 100) = 29.80 tons

Mass transported as a percentage = 5.8 / 29.8 x 100 = 19.46%

So in this case only 80.54 percent of the energy expended is used to carry around iron and plastic.

Basically, an ETR coach can be replaced by two tourist coaches or city buses, increasing their capacity in places and significantly reducing energy costs.

THE TECHNICAL SOLUTION

Bus wheels are replaced with railway axles, i.e. with pairs of railway wheels rigidly connected to each other by an axle. Since the buses have a smaller width than the wheelbase of the tracks, the railway wheels are therefore out of shape with respect to the shape of the coach. Advantageously, the axles, given the lower weight weighing on them, can be made of light alloy. Advantageously, the wheels can be encircled externally with a steel ring. Advantageously, above the aforementioned wheels, an inverted wing profile aileron can be positioned, in which the air flow generated by the movement of the train generates a thrust on the wheel towards the track to increase the speed of the train. Advantageously, the buses are connected to the ETR engine with wiring or encrypted WI-FI transmission. Advantageously, the endothermic engines of buses or coaches to move the train in the event of a power failure and therefore the elimination of inconveniences and dangerous situations.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Fig. 1 shows a connection diagram between a high-speed ETR tractor and tourist coaches or city buses that replace carriages.

In Figure 1 we can distinguish:

Claims (1)

CLAIMS 1) Train in which, behind the engine, the towed carriages are replaced by tourist coaches or city buses 2) With reference to claim 1, the wheels of the coaches are replaced by pairs of railway wheels connected by an axle: since the center distance of the tracks is greater than the width of the coach, the wheels protrude externally from the shape of the coach 3) With reference to claims 1 and 2, the wheel-axle units are made of steel 4) With reference to claims 1 and 2, the wheel-axle units are made of light alloy 5) With reference to claims 1, 2 and 4, the light alloy wheels are encircled externally by a steel ring 6) With reference to claims 1 and 2, an aileron with an inverted wing profile is advantageously positioned above the wheels so that the flow of air generated by the movement generates a stabilizing thrust downwards on the wheel 7) With reference to claim 1, buses or coaches are connected to the tractor by cables for the transmission of commands 8) With reference to claims 1 and 7, the cables are replaced by wireless wi-fi wireless transmission 9) With reference to claim 8, the wi-fi transmission uses encrypted messages 10) With reference to the preceding claims, it is possible to activate all the gas or diesel endothermic engines of the coaches to move the train in conditions of power failure 11) Train as in claim 1 in which the first class carriages remain traditional 12) Train as in claim 1 extended, in addition to high-speed trains, also to regional transport trains
