Default Re: High Speed Trains: The Way Of The Future

imagine, a 25 speed moped. it goes really fast, but getting up to speed seems to be a big factor, and slowing or stopping requires calculations of variables that effect efficency. The distance / accelleration rate and propulsion of High Speed systems need consideration. Thats why the Big auto companies are driving there new electric cars with small scale power plants for electric engines and regenerative braking systems which aim to extend the range of their electric cars. Check out the new electric Jeeps for example.
