Gravity Powered Dedicated Freight Corridor for Railways

If India wants they can construct the freight corridor with gravity power towers, saving 87% of energy as per the calculations given below. The entire project is financially viable with profit assured and uses indigenous technology and so if funded from the sovereign funds, (through RBI Bonds), the wealth remains within the country but adds to real positive cash flows! We need a leader with vision to add this important infrastructure connecting Western Ports to North of India, without need to take loan from Japan and then buy equipment and technology from foreign countries, but still spending the same level of energy as we are doing today, not helping the cause of global warming. It is a double whammy.. incur heavy yen nominated debt, get inferior performing technology at higher cost, first to improve economy of other countries before India gets benefited.

Is there some wise one out there in this infinite space of Indian bureaucracy to listen and act for my country?


GRAVITY POWERED DEDICATED FREIGHT CORRIDOR FOR INDIAN RAILWAYS : ESTIMATES FOR PROJECT COST, RUNNING COSTS AND PROFITS






Notes:
1. Provision for debt to be serviced for 100% of the project cost at 10% is made.
2.Variable depreciation figures as indicated provided as indicated.
3.Automated system & manpower costs are covered in 10% of O &M and energy cost is added.
4.Conventional surface rail is considered here with additional cable guides & side walls for derailment protection. There are no signals. Design average speed is 90 kmph.

The great Indian Puzzle.

The great Indian Puzzle:  own technology to save every single life in land transportation, decongest cities and roads, save fossil fuels, avoid painful land and property acquisition, all weather system, eliminates modal split and seamlessly integrates for both cargo and people, more importantly financially viable, proven and cleared by Government in 2005 itself BUT ignore  and continue to keep doing infrastructure development with century old technologies, proudly too, to add insult to injury, causing tears to land and property owners, spending four times more but unable to achieve any positive result, cities remain congested, floods can shut down cities, accidents keep killing people and losing heavily public funds in terms of subsidising losses since famously these are not financilayy viable. Isn't it height of stupidity or lack of integrity in engineers for misguiding their governments? How history will judge, only time will tell

SKYBUS RAIL : The unique disruptive rail technology of this century.

It is yet to hit experts of railways , that an innocent simple reconfiguration of railway technology elements in 2004 and and World’s First run on Sept 15 2004 of Skybus in Goa,  (    https://youtu.be/TzFH26E6eto  )   actually ushered in a mile stone, which I myself did not realize full implications at that time.   Many centuries of derailing, capsizing and colliding railways which we had been using with expensive mitigating measures, suddenly becomes obsolete.  Even in 2022 there are are hundreds of incidents in the world even in the most advanced railway systems and human lives lost. In 2005, once dynamic tests confirmed safety and more comfortable running of Skybus Rail, the entire world railways stand obsolescent.  To say the 175 year old , evolved highspeed rail too now , is obsolete is shocking . But matters of fact stare at any rational person, to gloss over.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/134GMH5pLrNkvhrXROIhQJvksdDtfeb6u/view     Current serious global warming challenge is e
