Is it the blimp trains time to shine?
Could this be used to get Ukraine grain to the rest of europe?

They have different rail gauge between rooskie and EU tracks but blimp can be handed off with out even slowing down

THIS CAN WORK???!!!!!!!
BLIMP TRAIN HOLEY ROLLER
RIDE ON THE BLIMP TRAIN
BLIMP TRAIN SAVE THIS COUNTRY
AND MAKE IT WHOLE AGAIN

Now Im on the edge of something
Wondering bout the blimp train
ooooohhhhaaaaa eeeeeaaaaahhhooooaaaa
Talking bout the blimp train

The fuck is this

This can be the most retarded or greatest thing depending on what gas the blimp is filled with to stay afloat.

>>1932070 (OP)
BLIMP TRAIN!!! BLIMP TRAIN!!! BLIMP TRAIN!!! BLIMP TRAIN!!! BLIMP TRAIN!!! I DON;T WHAT THE FUCK ITS BUT IT'S FUCKING AWESOME

holy shit, nevermind.

>>1932470
Is the magnet freaking you out? That was just one guys idea.
The overall concept is still sound

>>1932281

A /n/ meme from ages ago. Anon originally pitched the idea as a sightseeing ride for tourists.

>>1932566
That would be a pretty niche use compared to cargo blimp trains

I miss the old /n/ and the endless blimptrain threads that everyone attended

blump

>>1933292
bimp

bump train

>>1932427
what song is that?

>>1932470
Anon the blimp is pulled by the train making it very efficient

Come on, ride the train, hey, ride it
Come on, ride the train, hey, ride it
Come on, ride the train, hey, ride it
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can
Way deep down south, where we play this game
It's them Quad City DJs and you, we call it the train
So if you wanna ride your thing
Just come on down the train
We gonna rock, ooh, Lord, just jump aboard, baby
So get your next of kin, your sister and your friend
Pack it up now
Choo, choo, ride on this, choo, choo
And, boo, you need to stop faking, and come on with me
I wanna take you home with me, to be alone with me
And I can see you wanna hide it, come on, just divide it
And please don't knock it, until you ride it
So to all of you girls, you know, I'm calling your name
Michelle, Tamika and Tanya wanna ride this train, ride out now

>>1932070 (OP)
It has to be diesel? That is a bit silly too

>>1933967
who is saying diesel?

To counter the wind you need to make the blimp steerable, which defeats the purpose of the road. There are certain problems with running an aircraft via a extension cable. How is it dealing powerlines and bridges for a starter.

>>1934468
did you even watch the video?

>>1934468
the road is not for steering but to provide cheap propulsions

>>1932070 (OP)
Idk, a massive balloon probably causes a lot more air resistance than a wagon behind a locomotive(the additional rolling resistance is probably pretty insignificant).
So it would likely be less fuel efficient.

>>1935383
Its very low speed so the drag is minimal , also the train is carrying cargo as well

>>1935383
thelium,,,gets pumpedup into the ballon to pull thetrain up hills,,down pump fordownhill.

>>1935520
Damn , I had never thought of it that way
You are an genous bacon

>>1935520
see, this is the type of outside -the-box thinking that's going to make this dream a reality

>>1935686
>>1935682
Bacon for president!!!!

Come on ride the train, and ride

I am sad that /n/ no longer feels a deep sense of excitement and wonder about the blimp train

blump train

>>1935520
I pumped your mom up the hill ifykwias

>>1943251
I dont get it

>>1943540
Henrik fucked Ana in the barn while I was trying to sleep outside in the tent. I left the next day because I didn't want to be subjected to sex noises at night.

What if the blimp was powered by hydrogen instead of helium?

>>1943561
Oh the humanity.

>>1943558
what are you even talking about

>>1933967
So the blimp doesn't get tangled in wires

You could use third rail DC but they tend to not be able to pull much weight

>>1945456
Maybe would should make a prototype out of a kids train like they have at the zoo.
We could pool our money like with a go fun me page.
The blimp train could start as an amusement park ride for kids to get around the area efficiently and once we have the proof of concept it could become a major source of public transit

Guys I really wish you would join me in the appreciation of the blimp train.
It could bring so much joy to our troubled world

Even just daydreaming about the bright future a blimp train would occupy brings me elation I cant fully describe in words.

Please /n/ , please into the blimp train with me

blaimam[p!!!!!!

Why would a blimp be pulling a train?

>>1948178
to help the train hop over other trains

>>1948178
why did your mom?

howling at that magnet tunnel

>>1945681
what board is this from? /o/?

could the train be swapped for a boat?

this message bought to you bei Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik und Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen

>>1953306
i dont get it

>>1953306
does that work? I feel like your just dropping the kinetic energy. you lost momentum but your speed is the same as if you didn't have it since weight doesn't make you fall faster. maybe it would work if you had like a spring that pushes the weight down

>>1954816
No its perpetual

>>1953026
It says /diy/ right there

>>1932924
I miss when we had that 5-year-old train thread

IM Llove the blimps train so muhc

>>1932070 (OP)
No. What you need is neutral boyance skycars (blimps on rail wires).

>>1958357
does it make you go fast?

bacon is the fastest on this board by far

>>1932351
KEK this

why dont they cargo blimps?

>>1953270
Like a boat in a canal?
Then maybe a train could pull the boat

>>1932351
what gas would you like its in the blimp?

>>1932574
just ditch the blimp and put the cargo on the freighter lmao

>>1964851
but freighters cannot go over land anon,

How can we Elon to build the blimp train ifrastructures

choo choo mutherfucjer

Why not just have aerodyne blimps and aerostat balloons for surveillance, cargo and tours rather than transport? We're doing this already.

marry crix mix blimp train!!!!!!

>>1932070 (OP)
>>me, havent looked at /n/ for about 10 years
>>take a look
>> yup, blimp train still going

it was gone for a long time but we brung it back

Never seen those before? They only really saw use post-ww1 and pre-ww2. There's one at a rail museum near where I live. They're pretty neat.

galaxybrained

>>1979133
is that a childs toy?

>>1932070 (OP)
it would be useful in siberia, africa and south america aka areas with little economic development. but is a good idea in principle. a train-less blimp would be useful enough imo but indeed in areas where it is possible to be pulled by a train it would achieve even better efficiency

>>1979515
It would embiggen efficiency by making the train pressure lighter on the tracks also

>>1979483
maybe

>>1932427
>>1932070 (OP)
wait... so it's not a train dragged along by a blimp but a blimp pulled along by a train?

I drew this 8 years ago but I lost the original file and the archive only has the thumbnail :(

>>1985240
can you recreate it?

>>1985240
Did you recieve a patent for that?

Does this belong here?

>>1992718
Is he one of us?

>>1992718
And they say azns cant be creative

>>1992718
can he make a blimp one

can someone reach out to him

>>1992718
what if the blimp train was all in the air ?

>>1999843
What if the real blimp train was the friends we made along the way.
FR now. Test it out here at picrel. Indoor waterpark (was used for building blimps originally) that now hosts at least smaller blimps for visitors to go up and get a good view. They have waterslides. Why not get people back up another waterslide like a blimp train ?

>>1999859
Peace on earth
Was all blimp said

>>2001148
so the people of the subway
mount your horses , draw your sword
and the killed the blimp train riders

>>1999859
that picture doesnt to scale

Why not a kite plane? Or some kind of way to generate lift via horizontal motion like an autogyro?
The pain problem with a blimp is that it’s so massive and as such you lose a lot of energy to drag.

>>2004466
The drag problem goes away at slow speeds

>>2004466
where was that picture taken?

Looks like australia but different

im lovethat blimp so bad guys

1930s were kino
>>>/o/27891335

get this:
>a train of blimps
what do you think?

>>2015004
who can pull it?

>>1932070 (OP)
>dude what if we made a on rails blimp!
>tunnels? Oh those won’t be a problem because of uh…. We’ll just use magnets
I can not think of a single benefit to using this thing over a regular train or blimp

>>2015602
uhm have you dropped out elementary school? how can you NOT see the obvious benefits of a blimp train?
In case you didn't get it:
So the idea is having a blimp but unlike a traditional blimb it is tethered. Not thetered to the ground but a loco. The loco then moves on tracks! Whats so hard to get here?
There's been many suggestions on /n/ over the years that would bring minor improvements to tbe blimp train but the significant benefits very obviously lie in the blimp train itself.

>>2015602
You are belittling the magnet technology imagined for the blimp train?

Do you think you could have come up with such an elegant solution in your life?

>>2015602
I'm sorry your brain isn't big enough to realize the industry disrupting benefits of the blimp train

>>2015602
What spectrum are you on anon? The time for blimp train is NOW

Would blimp trains need to tilt on corners?

those blimp train are so impressing

That blimp needs a train so we can get the grain from Ukraine, mane. Just close your eyes and do your duty, you have the rest of your life to fool around with boys.

>>2034263
I want that ukrane grain in my main vain mane

>>1932070 (OP)
so the grain goes in the blimp?

I tried to do a google image search but it's just AI sloppa now

>>2037723
that is heart breaking

>>1932427
Pity all the old images are lost. This was my only reference back.

>>2039459
I dont understand about those blimp train

>>2034263
amazing

Would only make sense if the blimp were nuclear powered and filled with hydrogen.

>>2040523
actual star wars fans would reject the implication that a children's movie about a jamaican duck has anything to do with star wars

Yes, but what if Blimp Train designed by the geniuses at Dahir Insaat?

>>2040522
NUCLEAR POWERED STEAM TRAIN TETHERED TO HYDROGEN FILLED BLIMP!
Think about it. A nuclear powered steam train makes perfect sense.

Okayyyyy lets go

Imagine you're a German Fokker biplane pilot encountering a blimp train.
Would you shoot at the blimp or the train?
Also, how would you as an Entente blimp train pilot(/driver?/engineer?) defend yourself?

seems legit

how does it get back down without breaking all the eggs?

It's not very healthy. I could see how motorists look at this and see no issue with it, especially if they had a cabin air filter for themselves.

>>1935520
do it like
>>2050566
describes.
you see: Helium or hydrogen provides neutral bouyancy at ground level.
A heater inside will be used for attitude control.
