The insane Russian Concrete Monorail

Rollerblade train, cool

Great graphics, train looks real

Super. 💙 T.E.N.

I get the feeling the guy that brought this idea to the soviet leadership was using a song to help😅

Built just like Chernobyl they just forgot the brakes remember russian

"This train could have revolutionised railway tracks" shows train bumping around like crazy riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Yesterday i was on the ER25 electric multiple unit which is a bulgarian operated train MADE IN 1970s. So not only it was in bad condition but the toilets, well qlmost all of them were locked. There was a door that also closed for some reason making a women scream in pain but luckily the door opened shortly after that and her hand which was stuck not so bad and she just scratched her hand and continue. The train sound was awful and it somehow vibrate when it start accelerating which causing a lose in balance and if not on the seats you will have small chance to fall but way higher then any other train. This is why i do balieve in one thing:
Soviet technology that was created was absolutely bad, awful and worse then anything else
Soviet technology that was designed: oh gosh this is so good, extremely reliable and might work

'i'll get to that in a second.'

the wobble from the train looks worse than it should be, because the so called track looks to me like it is made of cheap wood strips, I bet if they did it properly it would of had better results, and today we know to make very smooth floors for warehouses and supermarkets so I'm it can be done for a modern concrete monorail.

Could've used their "free" labor tools (people in gulags)

It is so sad. There always was so much potential in Russian Culture and Tech. A few greedy murderers ducked it up :(

Concrete roads are bumpy as shit... that's why asphalt is preferred... that train would be bouncing all over the place at high speeds and be super easy to derail with those massive wheels that are so much taller than the track (motorcycles dont like driving in ruts, they want to climb out onto the high ground... that's why it never got past testing lol

Maybe the same self centering groove, but the track is a screw-foundation elevated aluminium mesh?
Then a magnetic effect would levitate the train.
Also, the driving wheel could engage with magnetic metal in places along the aluminum mesh like gears to provide traction on inclinated track.

When the Siberian tundra becomes farmland.
And Canada has 'The Wild Wild North' as the next frontier to exploit...
And 'Colonize Mars' becomes a real 'Colonize Antarctica' instead...
There may yet be a need for something like this, maybe with gyrostabilization and some electromagnetic siderail repulsion help.
The idea of cheap to build long range transport for a next frontier might yet see its heyday.

The rocking side to side can be stoped if you use additional wheels on the side supporting it.

Whats the techno synth music in background?

We should invest highly in steam-and Gas power stations for electrification!

Sorry they have no army..

A paper product, like their army..

Amazing as a russian ass glow device. It doesn't fit in the ass and it doesn't light up.

M I Yamashook had to be an accomplished engineer and visionary to bring his idea from concept stage to research prototype. Testing reveals design weaknesses and perhaps fatal concept weaknesses, this alone may have been enough to cancel the project. Scale of economics was more likely the strongest obstacle, railroad infrastructure, paved roads and emerging passenger aviation had already captured the attention of the planners. Military flexibility would also be a factor.

No doubt with sufficient ( but not excessive) resources this design could have achieved some viability. Perhaps there were just too many major areas in need of simultaneous refinement.

.....Please YYYou are the only ONE, WHO can help US, PLEASE.......

amazing, I am from the czech republic and I do not like WE THE SLAVIC BROTHERS & SISTERS fight each oeather, we hav e athe same background, we have the same believies, we should unite under one slavic flag, polich, russian, slovakian, czech, lithuanian,,,,etc,.... weare devidided, and who devides US, THE BROTHERS, & SISTER(''!!!!!!!!') the us????????? we are SLAVIC!!!, and not in the jump suit and other nonsence, BUT TRADITIONAL VALUES,.......... VALUES OF TRADITIONAL FAMILY....... TRADITIONAL HABITS,.... each different to each nation... be it Poland... Russsia....Ukraine...The Czech Republic.Slovakia....And HE HEROIC HUNGARY, HWO STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT, (and i personaly am gratful for hungaryianan peply to resiit the debouchary of foreign nations, pleas protect US! CZECHS AND ATHERS, AGAINS DEBOUCHERY, OF OTHER REGIMES, PLEASY..... HU Peple no.1 I Do not care if I would be arrested be debouchreres czech govermnet, who betreyed, Its peaople, Icare 4 Justice, For democracy, 4 rights of family values,, I do pleas the people of Humgary and Poland Nor!!!!!!!!!!! to stop fight fo the RIGHT VALUES

Советские инженеры очень много и долго мечтали.

Yes yes absolutely yes yes

Hallochen
Mit Russland in die Zukunft. So Gott will. 🇷🇺👍🇷🇺💪🇷🇺❤️❤️

Was that a saguaro cactus I saw?

USA has no train whatsoever

insane video; I think it is about USSR not Russia you are insane and russophobic

👍🇮🇹🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

getting from car to car would be a problem unless that green outline is a doorway. they should build 2 half wheels so the gap in the wheels would allow one to go from car to car

PPT？
or dream？

Поражает уровень интеллекта комментирующих видео, их лицемерный подтекст!

WHAT IS INSANE ABOUT IT ? Can we speak English instead of American Why cant you, an Australian think for yourself instead of being a sheep ?

Ukrainians should blow that up.

There is a fundamental flaw, the wheel will try to climb out from the trench. Its diameter changes which means the center of the tire will have high speed than the edges. This in turn means the edges will drag along the trench and try to climb out with gravity pulling it back down until the forces equalize.. and then you get the wobble. Most likely the front and rear wheels will try to climb the opposite sides of the trench too, making it snake around the half pipe. It needed two set of wheels, at an angle to make it stead, and most likely some kind of limited slip differential.

To make a monorail with one rubber wheel the "road" has to be convex and the wheel concave. That way the edge of the wheel rotates fastest and it will self-center. If you look at old belt drive, they have convex, a "bulging" wheel and not concave. It looks counter intuitive until you start to look at speeds across the belt width. Everytime there is an error the belt will self center on a bulging wheel. With a tire on a trench the mechanism is a reversed but we are still looking at speed differences across the width of the tire.

It's more than a slug or a snake? but let's lot forget it's a slimy earthworm indeed!!! That Soviet monorail testbed in the film is more like an expensive kiddie train ride if you know what I mean?!!

I’ve got an interesting experiment, what if we turn the SR-71B into a MACH 3 BUISNESS JET

🟢

Hey Nick, can you do a video on the p51 fsw (forward swept wing). I found out about this plane when searching for forward swept wing fighter jets. Can you also make a video on the maus?

man thats sad cause theres some real and nice looking ideas from the soviet union but it is the soviet union just well yea i would love to see one of these built

Give it a few weeks and Elon will "invent" this again and claim it will be 10x cheaper than regular rail while going at Mach 2.

Saludos cordiales siempre saludos para todos los que hacen uso de este sistema de transporte

you talking rubbish wasting peoples time

This is actually pretty cool!

Fascinating idea. But they wanted to build this in northern Russia. The temperature variations between summer and winter would crack concrete all the way. Can you imagine the constant repairs when you’re talking about hundreds of kilometers?

Add in storms, snowstorms, etc., with all kinds of snow and debris that needs to be cleared out.

It’s a beautiful concept, but not practical for the climate and distances.
