How can regenerative braking be used to save energy in trains?
I was forgotten to put this with it: The train rides frictionless on the rails, because it uses an aquaplaning effect by his advantage. The train is riding on a thin sheet of water. A bit hard to explain everything but the point is the friction caused by wheels touching the rails can be...- trideon

How can regenerative braking be used to save energy in trains?
First thanks for responding. I haven't really thought about the energy storing. Maybe a lot of big battery's or give it back to the electricity net. And I'am thinking of the usage of multiple electric motors. I know that the net regenerated energy is Ek=1/2×m×v2 reduced with friction losses...- trideon

How can regenerative braking be used to save energy in trains?
Hello, I'am new to this forum and this is actually my first post. And I have some questions about regaining braking energy. We are thinking of using an electric motor to speed up and slow down a new and innovative train. The idea is to regain energy while the train is slowing down with the...- trideon
