Transportation future rail: Maglev, Aerotrain ...

[Leo Maximus]

France has plenty to do without the use of foreign technology!

Well yes ... to take the case of PSA, most of the group's new vehicles use or are inspired by foreign platforms. The HDi is a license from the Japanese Mitsubishi just like the particle filter which is from Ibiden another Japanese. The PSA group uses thousands of robots from Fanuc, another Japanese. Without these foreign technologies, what remains? Not much.

We're still waiting for Thomson to release its VCR.

And the strong France of Sarko, when are you doing?
France still has a number of technological "successes" to its credit: TGV, St Nazaire shipyard, Airbus, Ariane, Concorde, Nuclear, Rafale etc ...

What is missing in our country are precisely great projects (I have the impression of doing my Jacques Cheminade there! ).
The energy transition would be one of those, unfortunately our leaders are not up to it!

St Nazaire shipyard: bankrupt. Sold to STX, today in great difficulty.

Airbus, like Ariane, are European.

Concorde was Franco-English, without the Rolls-Royce reactors I don't see how it could have flown.

French nuclear: Westinghouse license. Today Areva makes extensive use of foreign technologies.

Jacques Cheminade is nice but he says a lot of bullshit. Precisely, since it is a question here of Maglev, it is he who wrote that the principle of Maglev is utopian because it takes thousands of km of channels cooled with liquid helium (!), It is unfeasible , and you cannot use switches (!). Except that one Maglev track is at room temperature and the quantity of liquid helium used must be 200 grams per ream. For referrals I put the youtube links here.

I deleted the reference to Sarko because it suppresses my appetite ...

We are not bad at recycling garbage or treating water because we have made efforts. There is a lot to do in things that are, a priori, nothing prestigious.

I mentioned Starko and Cheminade to joke of course! :-)

Seen as it remains more than to shoot us!



The Saint Saint-Nazaire shipyards are bankrupt because of the much lower costs practiced in Korea ... consequence of a globalism.
This does not in any way affect French know-how, the latest productions are qualified as successful by the international maritime sector (QM2, the orchestra etc ...)

The Ariane project is part of a French proposal following the failure of the Europa launcher.
CNES played a fundamental role, even if of course the contribution of European partners should not be underestimated.

Ditto for Concorde, if the contribution of the English has been important (normal in cooperation) the fact remains that France has developed the central part of the fuselage and the wing, hydraulics, navigation, controls of theft, the radio system) not bad all the same!

French nuclear: Westinghouse license. Today Areva makes extensive use of foreign technologies.

Indeed, but that does not take anything away from the skills acquired, AREVA is the world leader in nuclear ...
The Chinese are also great specialists in the contribution of foreign technologies ... hum, hum ...

The French decline stems more from the disastrous management of our industry than from a lack of know-how and creativity.

sen no sen hello

The French decline stems more from the disastrous management of our industry than from a lack of know-how and creativity.

Partly only! Our industrial park lived on obsolete technologies and especially largely amortized, thus allowing to reap more benefits.
Asian countries had everything to build, new and therefore at the cutting edge of current technology. To this add "intellectual" plunder, cheap labor and a desire for "vengeful" economic conquest, and everything was in place to bring the proud West down from its pedestal.
Unfortunately, they just copy a self-absorbing system and they will suffer (and already suffer) the same effects due to the same causes, it's just a matter of time.

"The Saint Saint-Nazaire sites" has not existed for a long time. Today it is STX France.

To "solve" the problems of STX, Jacques Cheminade proposes nationalization! :

Thanks to Cheminade we now know what not to do: nationalize!

Alstom bought TGL from Rolls-Royce, TGL is a specialist in tidal turbines. AREVA bought the German Multibrid and AREVA thus became the leading European manufacturer of wind turbines.

The solution is in retraining through the purchase of foreign technologies.

Here is a good example, last Friday AREVA installed the vessel of the EPR reactor "Made in Burgundy" in Flamanville:

In fact, the "Made in Burgundy" tank is made in Japan by Japan Steel Works and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. It is sent to Chalon-sur-Saône for inspection and then re-tagged "AREVA".

Our national EPR has been sold to several countries. Lately in Great Britain.

Hello,

Transporting the future on rails ... It could very well look like ...

No big deal, in the end, we don't care !!! there's the car!

What do you mean it pollutes ?! But no ! do not worry !

we're going to refourguer your old diesels in Africa (in biquos and bougnouls ... they don't give a damn about particles ... there are less nasty than us ...)

Instead we will make you buy our shiny electric cars that make no noise with very large batteries for a very long autonomy (which will almost never be used, apart from twice a year to go see Uncle Mayo or go to blue waves) ...

Note, that we also know how to make, trucks, coaches ... You see ?! There is no need to worry.

We killed the rail (that of collective interest) ... Long live the rail!

Isn't life beautiful ?! Well, it will be even more after !!!

SCMAGLEV will begin a new phase of testing. The Cx has been improved by 13%, that's considerable. Then, the air conditioning and lighting were powered by a generator (there was an exhaust pipe on the roof!), Now it works by induction from the track (without contact).

Every 5 years broke the record. The last one, 603 km / h was in 2015. Soon the 700 km / h? :
