@headrockbeats 2 роки тому

Is there no mechanical way to charge the "battery" while also driving the train? Split the power automatically until the battery is full, then divert all power to the locomotive.

@BrickTechnology 2 роки тому

Yes there is, the battery has to have less weight for this and there needs to be more wind. The train can also be driven super fast by battery and wind in combination

@parkeryj3135 2 роки тому

I realized that while building your energy storage system you could be utilizing chained pulleys ("block and tackle") to increase your mechanical advantage, which would let you use a heavier weight! With a few more pulleys you should be able to store dramatically more power in a shorter tower. SmarterEveryDay has a fantastic video on pulleys if you wanna read up on it.

This could be enhanced with a bank of kinetic batteries, probably a 1x2 or 2x2 combination (i.e. when 1 is charged to the top it flicks a switch to charge another, and only 1 discharges at a time). Other comments have mentioned train operation and battery charging simultaneously, and use of water wheel functionality as well as combined with wind and gravity, with a few tweaks this could come close to a perpetual sustainable machine.

@BrickTechnology 2 роки тому

That would be possible, you could add many wind turbines and many batteries and connect them with differentials, no switch needed. If one does not charge anymore, the next will charge through the differential. Water would work too.
