Indian Railway make over


Converting the our legacy railways in to automated gravity powered systems, keeping the same rolling stock and tracks, can eliminate 90% of locomotives , signals and train control systems, and vastly save on operating expenses.
It is feasible. The level of investment needed and returns summarized too.
While working principles are based on Newton's laws, and duly peer reviewed for science and engineering, the financials are made up story by me.
The papers were sent to also to DFCC and Railway Ministry a couple of years ago to go in to trash, of course.

Amazingly, administrations will first dismiss , out of hand , the technology as " unproven& untested over 20 years" etc.

Following the same technology path adopted by western countries almost half a century ago, it is obvious that either you have to be stinking rich to buy and maintain legacy technologies with marginal facelifts . China being rich could do. But Indians are not. But capital of intellect which they have, they dump aping west. Will we wake up?

Innovation in finance does not add any value to technology .
It is technology which makes financially viable options. Outdated technologies hurt.

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.

Image
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
