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

>>1932470Is the magnet freaking you out? That was just one guys idea.
The overall concept is still sound
>>1932281A /n/ meme from ages ago. Anon originally pitched the idea as a sightseeing ride for tourists.
>>1932566That would be a pretty niche use compared to cargo blimp trains
I miss the old /n/ and the endless blimptrain threads that everyone attended
>>1932470Anon 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

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
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.
>>1934468did you even watch the video?
>>1934468the 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.
>>1935383Its very low speed so the drag is minimal , also the train is carrying cargo as well

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

>>1943540Henrik 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?
>>1943558what are you even talking about
>>1933967So 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
>>1945456Maybe 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
Why would a blimp be pulling a train?
>>1948178to help the train hop over other trains
>>1932427howling at that magnet tunnel
>>1945681what board is this from? /o/?
could the train be swapped for a boat?
this message bought to you bei Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik und Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen
>>1953306does 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
>>1953026It says /diy/ right there
>>1932924I miss when we had that 5-year-old train thread
IM Llove the blimps train so muhc

why dont they cargo blimps?
>>1953270Like a boat in a canal?
Then maybe a train could pull the boat

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

>>1978707Never 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.
>>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
>>1979515It would embiggen efficiency by making the train pressure lighter on the tracks also
>>1932427>>1932070 (OP)wait... so it's not a train dragged along by a blimp but a blimp pulled along by a train?

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 ?

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.
>>2004466The drag problem goes away at slow speeds
>>2004466where was that picture taken?
Looks like australia but different

>>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
>>2015602uhm 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.
>>2015602You 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?
>>2015602I'm sorry your brain isn't big enough to realize the industry disrupting benefits of the blimp train
>>2015602What spectrum are you on anon? The time for blimp train is NOW

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

Yes, but what if Blimp Train designed by the geniuses at Dahir Insaat?
>>2040522NUCLEAR POWERED STEAM TRAIN TETHERED TO HYDROGEN FILLED BLIMP!
Think about it. A nuclear powered steam train makes perfect sense.
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?
