TGV Speed Record 

yeah ,same

A tip : watch movies on InstaFlixxer. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

@Brayden Cason Definitely, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for since november myself =)

@Brayden Cason Yup, I have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :D

@Brayden Cason yea, been using instaflixxer for years myself =)

I always remember this record every April 3rd.

This record still stands!

It still stands partially due to being on the upper limit of what overhead wires can take. (much faster and they would start to boune around, damaging themselves and the pantograph; this's one reason the train was shorter than in regular service, and lowered one of its pantographs) A train running off internal batteries for the run or a different power source (like gas turbines) could go faster, but has yet to be attempted.

@@jimtaylor294 Imagine spooling up the gas turbines at 570 km/h, after the initial electric motor acceleration. :D I'd like to see a TGV go 700 km/h. That would be even more insane.

@@jimtaylor294 Just a minor correction to an otherwise great comment: You're right about the overhead wires bouncing were they to go much faster, however, TGV sets actually normally run with the front pantograph lowered when on the LGV, nothing unusual about that. (they have HV lines going through the length of the train to make sure both power cars still get full power) I'm pretty sure the shortened length of the train was mostly for power to weight concerns, since they wouldn't need to lug around 8 heavy duplex cars for such a speed test. As an aside, this particular set was actually demoing the powered bogies for the AGV, which means unlike a normal TGV, this set had drive on all of its axles!

@@PopFizzelz My thanks for the additional context and information, especially on the topic of power distribution.

I know. The TGV is my favorite high speed train

Imagine the heat!

@@Rammstein45 u can see the pain of that poor pantograph dragging with the catenary .. they said 29kv & 800amps at the end .. so at full load the train had clamped the overhead wire voltage from 31kv to 29kv.& It was making around 30,000hp if i calculate the losses in inverter and motor. Wikipedia says the maximum hp of the train that made the record had 26,300hp so my calculations is a bit off but anyways. & Consumed 19.6mw instead of 24mw which i had calculated by watching this video. 😀

@@KuntalGhosh you should work SNCF I think :)

And around 75% of that comes from non-polluting nuclear power, of which France is also the leader.

^ ATM aye; though Germany was also doing well re' Nuclear... until their Chancellor made the mad call to axe it all, to secure an alliance with the greens. They now rely in-part on France for power. The UK *would* be doing well re' nuclear... if the hapless politicians weren't knee deep in this net zero nonsense, which ironically is also anti-nuclear... because... quantum... I guess -_- . Then again there's A plan for moduar reactors at least, which might prove promising. Moral of the story: Never underestimate the stupidity of politicians; or concequently, the power of irony.

?!

This literally makes no sense whatsoever 💀

high speed rain would tear you apart the second you step outside though

This route is not in Train Sun World 2. The route you’re thinking of is the LGV Méditerranée. The tests were carried out on the LGV Est.

technicaly, with all the equipement, engineers, and staff from Alstom and the SNCF riding along in the train, it WAS running at full capacity

There will be none.. Everything vaporized

You can do the math based on velocity, energy required to reach that and then the kinetic energy in the system, but all well known. The math is beautiful, the result is pretty ugly!!

@@blackfeet6820 Just said it.. But it will be vaporized if it was traveling at orbital velocities.. Like 28,000 Kmph...

Every couple of years the TGV crashes into a tractor or a bike that didn't get off the line in time. But they only do it at 300kph....no big deal.

@@imho2278 no big deal run on viaducts only

but once accelerated, you can do the 80km left just with inertia.

Think you got something wrong, they used 30kV 700+ amps from the line which is around 21MW Which sounds about right since ICE 3 uses around 8MW at max speed in normal use

Multi track drifting

*Nani?!*

Timeline

No 500

1,000kph though, not 1,000mph... which is considerably faster ^_^ . (only a couple of Speed Record Cars have gone that fast at ground level)

Me too. I drive this train in Open Rails too though.

@@foxxthy6637 well I have a video of it on my channel. It is the in service version of the train.

Trains are hundreds of times safer than cars

These things push 200mph on the daily, get you to Bordeaux from Paris (310mi) faster than flying. Plus they have a bar coach, which is something cars and planes don't have...

Americans don't even HAVE to do that ! The backward nations are precisely those that have such high-speed trains !

@@fallschirmjager0000 I am not from America, but from Eastern Europe. High-speed trains are not a sign of progress, but on the contrary, a sign of the victory of the state and left-wing leadership over human freedom. Appearences are deceiving. The same is the case with other false signs of progress.

@@marianl8718 LOL dont be jealous !

@@JoeJohn777 Jealous ? Look at the images in the video above. A madly running train ready to derail through an almost desert landscape. Who can be envious of something like thay ? When will people learn to stop seeing the good and the progress where their opposite is ?

​​@@marianl8718high speed train can increase the movement of goods and people, boost the economy, and makes the time more efficient. Freedom? I'd rather to be organized but I'm rich instead of free but poor

No. The train is all electric

@@rtrfan7398 😄 I do know. Just kidding, bro.

@@JetFalcon oh

​@@JetFalcon Actually, you are correct because electricity comes from fuel, so this train did use a lot of fuel but not directly 😂

​@@rtrfan7398 And how do you produce electricity for this train to run on electricity? 🤓 By burning fuel 😅

The standard speed for the tgv whith People inside is 320 km per hour

you can't buy time.

260km/h was the speed of the original TGV. These trains are only ever going to go faster - the new TGV M sets coming online this year will push 350km/h, HS2 in the UK (whenever that's finished) will push 360km/h.

@@francisuster1821 And it's super smooth !

There Is! Because The Record Was So Epic!

574kph was a world record, the commercial speed for these trains is 320kph

In france it happened only 4 times in history (92, 93, 2000 and 2015) and it was fatal only once. It was due to the pilot, and the dead are technicians and engineers that were testing a new trails. So it's pretty safe IMO.

High speed trains are very safe when on high speed lines, their design prevents wagons from coming loose and going all over the place, the only fatal accident is due to a driver who took his children away on a test and which crossed a curve on an ordinary track at an excessively high speed, the train fell off the bridge.

what are you babbling on about? it's not 100% safe to be alive in the first place. Stupid comment.

So planes are safer as they can't derail? Riiiiight....
