    Is it me or is nothing changing when he moves the lever? I looked at ALL the numbers on screen.. @ 2:40

      Yeah I Saw That That Problem I Assume It's a Glitch When He Applies the Automatic Brake And The System Won't Respond

      ​@@alvit123I think the tutorial is on rails, based on switches being moved, but not on actual operation of the train.
      And by that I mean I don't think the brakes are actually cut in.

    This is my layman's understanding of what I've heard if it was a car
    Independent reminds me of a parking brake
    Auto reminds me of regenerative braking
    Dynamic is like conventional breaking

      I would say dynamic is regen braking.
      Auto brakes are the usually the conventional braking.

    Dynamic Brake doesn't reverse the polarity of the traction motors. It connects traction motors to resistor banks to dissipate the energy in form of heat, created by TMs while slowing down.

    • @MidnightBreezeIWP
      @MidnightBreezeIWP 2 роки тому +4

      It does both of those things my friend. First the polarity must be reversed so some resistance can be applied to the axles, otherwise the axles just spin freely, not able to slow down the train.

    • @RontoGoldlust
      @RontoGoldlust Рік тому +2

      That excess energy that needs to be dissipated via the resistors is created because of the reversed polarity. If the polarity doesn't change and it just started directing power to the resistors, the wheels would still continue freely rolling with nothing slowing them down, and now you're just wasting energy.

    My understanding (George Westinghouse) invented Air Pressure Brakes, when air pressure is applied the brakes are released, thus in an emergency the brakes apply automatically - *FAIL SAFE, * not like say a car/bicycle pressure is required to apply the brakes - *NOT FAIL SAFE!* For the American Trains (USA) There is a limited amount of air in those cylinders right? When the air is depleted, thus no brakes, thus when a train brakes apart, _(not inc the loco)_ the 2nd part of the train, the brakes are till off, if air pressures is used to apply the brakes! How could this be *"Fail Safe?"* It's not!
    Take Australian and NZ train for an example, their trains use Air Pressure to release the brakes, this applies to all passenger and Freight trains - Fail Safe!

      @@safetymike4356 Is that right? Lets start with the first type of train brakes - Vacuum. Vacuum was used to apply the brakes, oops, not fail safe. Later reversed it that a vacuum releases the brakes.
      Second type Air: Air was used to apply the brakes, again oops, *NOT FAIL SAFE*, later reversed, air to release the brake, ah! *Fail safe!*
      That is Vacuum or air to release the brakes is failsafe! There's no other way, regardless what people say! When there is 100% loss of air/vacuum, (does happen) the brakes are applied automatically, thus fail safe. *NOT* using air to apply the brakes like a bicycle or car, *not fail safe!*

      @@safetymike4356 *_REALLY?_* As if!
      With most trains _(passenger & Freight)_ today use air to *_Release_* the brake! In the event of 100% air loss, the brakes are automatically applied - this does happen due to poor maintenance!
      Why do people assume that air is used to apply the brakes (regardless of what country one may be in)!
      The *George Westinghouse* system (air pressure to release the brakes) is *100% Fail-Safe,* not like the old fashioned idea (vacuum) to apply the brakes, oops they realised it wasn't failsafe, then they reversed the system, thus the vacuum not applied the brakes, but released the brakes.
      When George Westinghouse _"invented"_ his system, it was air that applied the brakes, afterwards he realised a mistake was made, and then reversed it -> like the latter vacuum brakes!
      If the American system is better _(Air used to apply the brakes) is better, please explain? It is not, FAIL-SAFE! *100% fact*
