@@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. 😀

Most interesting; though for context, most of the record attempts made by trains historically were done while pulling a full train of passengers. (I bet SNCF could've charged basically anything they wanted for that [first passengers to experiance 300mph at ground level], had a longer train been possible)
Between pantograph forces and wind pressure, it’s interesting seeing the catenary poles wobbles after the train passes. I believe wire tension was increased for this test run.
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!!
And TGB takes you from the center of a city to the center of another city. You waste a lot of time to reach an airport. and once landed, you waste another lot of time driving to your destination.
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
Not really, it could have got to atleast 580 km/h or more without problems but they asked the driver to not go beyond 575 because they were reaching the limits of the wheel-rail contact.

It was the equivalent of tuning a car for high performance: Shorter (3 cars instead of 8), more aerodynamic, larger wheels and higher voltage on the catenary. But even without it, a normal TGV can go very fast, especially during tests on a new high-speed line before opening, we're talking of speeds up to 360 km/h. And records-breaking TGVs were accompanied by another normal TGV that towed them to the record zone, then checked the record zone at high-speed to see if the test could be carried or not. For this one, the TGV n°4404 went at 380 km/h for these "high-speed checks", same speed as the first TGV record in 1980.
@@KL53986 They're the only double-decker trains able to go to 300 km/h and beyond in the world, and, for someone who seldom uses these trains to travel, it's really cool to know this.
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.

Can we provide 100% safety to the fellow passengers at this awesome speed-Is it a sense of development knowingly causing genocide for mere and fake saving of time. Can we not think,plan or project anything good for our posterities.
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.
I love that driver. Rolling off the figures, very professionally, then after they pass 500kph, suddenly it is "come on, baby!" Wonderful stuff.

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.
it has been 16 YEARS after this record was set.
I know. The TGV is my favorite high speed train
Even more amazing is that it reached 515 km/h in 1990 .34 years ago.!!
