- A hagyományos vasút-technika csúcsa a francia TGV. Speciálisan felkészített vasúti pálya, feszített felsővezeték, megnövelt teljesítményű villamos motorkocsik eredményezték ezt a fantasztikus sebességi világrekordot. A sebességre jellemző, hogy az 574,8 km/óra végsebességgel száguldó szerelvényt egy sugárhajtású kis repülőgéppel követték a filmesek.

Thats just factorio

I suppose at that speed you probably wouldn't hear it, or feel it. You'd just be "gone"
Play at 2x speed and you can witness how fast 1149.6 km/h is
Lol, amazing 😆😆
it's really fantastic

the incredible thing is it doesn't rollover😳
You know you're making history when the chase vehicle is a jet.
and the jet is slower than the train
@@therosijedha Correct - The best type of jet to use in cases like this would be a military training jet; only if the main objective was to keep up with their target or supersede it. One example would be the T-38 Talon. NASA used them for mission support when the Space Shuttles were coming back down to terra firma.

What’s even more impressive is that the previous TGV record reached 515.3 km/h in 1990!!!
😮
An earlier record was set on the 28th of March 1955 at 331 kph, with SNCF 1707. Most trains back then only got to 120 as fas as I know.
I honestly find it insane that the 1707 hit that speed, because it is litteraly a metal box on wheels, 6 axels that is. But the locomotive looks epic to my taste

Fake.
Try to imagine how good the track has to be in order to allow a train to travel that fast! Perfect track joins, no warping, absolutely perfect in every way. The track building is a great achievement as well.
Not possible on CSX track ;)
and the cornering
Even for basic trains, you can't even imagine how costly and tedious track maintenance is.
Not just the track the overhead electrical lines, those has to be more tight for this to be done because at going at such speeds with the regular commercial lines you would often lose power for a couple seconds and that aint good
Deutschland soll mal auf den Stand kommen
Respect to the cameraman who could keep up with the pace of the train.
They were on a freaking jet 😂
@@gamingbeast6760 they *are* the jet

Yeah, no body gives enough credit to the cameraman these days.
Talking about the camera man he was probably in the fighter jet
whats truly impressive is the railway track that allows it to go that fast
they're trusting the rail welds with their lives
All the TGV lines have special reinforced railway tracks to support such speed.

While you were watching this video, the train would cross more than 88 kilometers. Insane!
Wut
Also the train is nuclear powered as it's in France.
@@illuminate4622
*What?*
@@canonboom165 The train is electric. 75% of France's electricity is nuclear generated.
Was just about to go and work that out, thanks for saving me the effort!
The fact that it achieved over 500kmh on rails is really impressive. No maglev tech, which makes it cost effective. Also, this was 14 years ago (April, 3rd, 2007). Would love to see the improvements they made over the decade.
Not a lot, commercial TGV's still don't travel at this speed. It was just for the record because not all parts of railroads are able to support this speed.
The video itself screamed 2001-2002. But apparently it was as late as 2007.
Considering energy consumption at such speed, It is all gone nowadays
Actually the electricity bill for that operating speed could be horrible, fines for the loud noises as well.
The same story happened to Shanghai maglev, which was designed with a 430 kph operating speed and operates at a maximum of 300kph a few years later after the opening due to the high electricity cost and complaints about the noises from the residents who live next to the route.
the TGV will still manage to be late anyways
This is the 3rd fastest train ever and fastest ever with wheels and no maglev, made by France in 2007. The L0 Maglev Japanese train is the fastest ever and set a land speed rail record of 603 km/h / 375 mph in 2015. Being only ~17km/h slower than todays fastest maglev train using wheels and being made 15 years ago is just incredible engineering. Amazing.
Maglev is not a train with rails it's magnetic sustentation. TGV is most fast train on the world ( record 2007)
If you mean train by deffiniton of railtransport, i dont think its fair to call a MagLev a train. MagLev and Railway are two diffrent technologies, both have their advantages and disadvantages but arent comparable.
Its like comparing a helicopter to a VTOL.
@@pascaldelaterre6531 Maglev trains are still trains, its a pointless and silly semantic argument to make.
I wouldn't call that maglev shit a train
absolutely correct 👍
What's actually amazing is that this was achived with everyday technology. People can actually ride trains like this (at "only" 350Km/h because faster isn't necessary) every day; it's not a once in a blue moon experiment, there are thousands of kilometres of rails being traveled by the TGV at this moment.
Closer to 300 on the main tgv line: Paris Lyon
@@alexp6013 320 for paris strasbourg
@@alexp6013350 for Paris - Strasbourg which was the line used for the speed record
Normal speed is 300 or 320 km/h depending on the line.
The reason they don't go any faster is the accelerated wear and tear on the train, the rails and catenaries, which doesn't justify significantly higher maintenance (and therefore higher costs) just to save a few minutes of travel.
For those marvelling at the straightness of the track:
What makes this even more mind-blowing is that this track sits on gravel ballast, and track which sits on ballast tends to be less smooth than ballastless slab track, like the sort you find in Japan or Germany. This is the real mind-fuck in my opinion.
As we say, no one copies the French and the French copy no one.
@@fl539 "ewwww, fr*nch"
@@suntzu1409where did that joke come from???
@@Thepissheadman
Deepest darkest depths of the internet
Its like that to avoid unwanted vibrations that can cause issues, this way the vibrations are lost in the ballast and it allows for the train to go faster
And above all : at 574 km/h the whole train was still behaving pretty well, no anomaleous vibration or whatever...
Must be an Insane ingeneering precision,
I doubt those railways and wheel are just steel

This is actually a great illustration of why you can't "silence" a gun, the firing is only 30% of the noise, the rest is the projectile moving through the air. The train itself makes very little noise in the production of locomotion, the loud sound is just compression and displacement of air. Jet engines are loud, but a huge amount of the sound you hear is actually the same thing, compression and displacement due to velocity.
Sounds like a guided missile

There was a jet aircraft following the train, that's what you heard.
I love how relaxed the drivers were, knowing they could derail and die. Many respects to them
To be honest, this isn't the first run they did. They did several test run before the world breaking one. They even said that the equipment could stand up to 610kph.
They were not calm, they were not panicking but still worried/nervous
@@WinterNoxYeah. Even if nothing is likely to go wrong, it is still kind of frightening, because at that speed, if something did, there wouldn’t even be enough to bury.
The two guys that were standing next to the driver really did it for me. Standing on a train going almost 600km/h, imagine a subway train doing that
On a side note, planes do higher speeds, but the point of reference really matters to see how frighteningly fast you're actually moving
I still think the 1981 record is amazing - here in the north of Scotland our tracks are so winding and our trains have to travel slowly. The French have an amazing history of creating fantastic trains.
That speed under the track pass bridge 8:30 was enough to tell a lot about what is 574 actually looks like on a train.
Now realize that a commercial plane flies at 965Km/h. How would that look on the ground?
@@Douken Imagine a rocket zooming past you, they go well above 10km/s, which is 36,000 km/h. Hard to even imagine such speeds
Straight zooming
@@ilikecats310 Not really the same thing both for rockets and planes, as you have less and less frictions as you go up in the atmosphere... The actual record for something on the ground is a car named ThrustSSC (thx google on this one :p) and it traveled at 1227kmph (763 mph), so faster than the sound. The record for a plane is 3.500 kmph. The other thing to take in mind is space, because you don't have to worry about how much lenght it has left on the racecourse..
Hello bro
Even now in October 2022 this is a massive achievement. I'd never seen this clip before, how exciting it would have been to see it happen live at the side of the track.
They are just vanity projects nothing else.

@@bighands69 No, they aren't. SNCF always puts a fuckton of equipment on those trains because although it's pretty cool to reach speed record it's a lot more important to get experimental data from train's operation.

Almost 600…
it can't, this is a special trainset
the normal one cannot. as far as i know the normal tgv doesnt have motors in the middle cars, only the front and rear ones have motors. so it wouldnt even have the power to weight ratio with the same number of cars as shown here.
They don't go past 320 because such higher speeds will require more power and electricity.

I got to go about 310 kph in France once on a TGV and I was very impressed and feeling the speed, what a ride this test run must have been, wow!
@Baron Battles I've ridden the Eurostar from Milano to Torino several times, some sections hit 300Kph. Worth every Euro.
Absolutely amazing! They even went through curves at over 550 km/h! Even now in 2023 the only faster train is a maglev at 600 km/h, costing way more.
And that maglev hasn't actually even reached 600km/h yet, as the current test track is too short for the Chuo Shinkansen to reach the planned 600km/h. So that train still has to prove itself first.
@@kaelon9170 uh.. no. The maglev has reached 600km/h (it has a world record), it's just that during day-to-day operational use, it'll be limited to a little over 500km/h
Hard to compare those two since the Maglev doesn't roll on tracks but uses magnetic levitation instead

7:50 perspective plays such a huge role. Seeing that footage alone I would never say the train is going faster than an F1 car on a straight.
And it's going twice as fast...
Achieving high top speed isn't the aim of F1....accelerating and decelerating in the shortest time possible is. So shouldn't compare them but I get the gist of what you said.
@@divyanshtiwari3547 F1 cars can exceed 200MPH with DRS. I think its a pretty good example
@@francoisgueretteThat's true, but the person said F1 cars weren't made for high speed. Their aerodynamics are worse than normal cars, because they create so much downforce
Bro it won't because it's heavier than an F1 you fool, it can accelerate faster. Top speed that thing wins.
@@divyanshtiwari3547 I'm not comparing acceleration, I'm comparing perspective and long straight top speed.
Even a 2003 F1 Car before braking on the Monza straight, due to the camera angles, FOV and distance to the wall, "appears" to be going much faster than the train here.
I know this test train had only 4 carriages, but the fact that it only took it 2 and a half minutes to reach 300 kph is veeeery impressive.
For this train, many of the wheels are powered, not just the locomotives. It is part of what they where testing in the first place and the excuse for the whole thing.
@@leszekandhisrandomstuff.9228 Thanks for clarifying that, it makes much more sense now!
@@leszekandhisrandomstuff.9228 Wait a minute, if the carriages were powered as well, wouldn't that make it an EMU or not because there are power cars?

Wow, the standard of track alignment needs to be superb for that speed...incredible achievement
And the electric line need to be rigid enough so the wave generated in them, by the rod making the connection, is not caught up by that same rod. Imagine swiping a rectangular metal rod fast under a loose cotton thread.
Who watching this on 2025😢
Those 3 guys standing up front looking down the tracks is priceless. I'm thinking somewhere around 104km/h it really doesn't matter what you see up ahead...you're not stopping in time. Never mind cruising at 574.
Thats what. Even with deep concentration if they were to notice something wrong, what could they do?
heh you can also be going 30KM/h in something like the big boys maxium rated load and you may not be stopping for a good 20 minutes though
Beep their horn if there's something living on the tracks ig?
at that speed by the time the drivers can see you they wont have to time to horn anything, you wont hear it either because by the time you could react you would be litteral atoms due to the sheer strenght of the strike

They must be spinning somewhere in the neighborhood of 4000 RPM at top speed (I based the calculation on a guess of 30" dia. wheels -it's a little hard to tell from the video, but that guess might be reasonably close). Very impressive precision! Yes, I'm a precision geek.
Do not forget suspension, it also plays a key role. In fact, all train structure had to be optmised.
The test Tgv received special wheels for the record attempt, bigger than those used for commercial exploitation, in order to limit the speed of the drivetrain. Their diameter was 109,2 cm (40.51 in) instead of 92 cm (36.22 in).
As an engineer, i don't quite appreciate why the wheels have to be machined to extreme high precision, besides obvious vibration and track derailing concerns but i would think a very good precision (not an extremely good one) should be enough. I mean some road sports cars like the bmw e92 m3 has a V8 engine that routinely can spin its cranshaft to 8,300 rpm redline for quite a long time a peak speed ! (i know, i own the car) and that is with a highly unequal explosion cycle and balancing that is not going to be perfect. Yes i know that TGV is carrying hundred tons of weight on these wheels but they're also thick enough for that, and the e92 is developping 420 horsepower at 8,300 rpm. So nah i am not surprised and i think the extreme precision is overkill.
@@ericastier1646 There is no need wheels to be manufactured with extreme precision, Just think about the rails, their precision, arrangement and tolerance. Suspension system plays a very important role.
@@gorangoran6335 in fact the engineering problem can be posed in terms of the wheel s shoulder depth that keeps it lodged inside the track. If the vibrations are not sufficiently attenuated by the suspension for the given track characteristics and weight of the train then it can derail the train. This can be modeled and simulated nicely with simple mathematical differential equations model. The expansion of metal with temperature is an interesting factor. It would be interesting to know in what season the speed test was done.
Great respect to the crew inside doing test and checking controls operation- the fact is they are pushing the limits in as test train.

265 tons and it's still pushing forward at a speed of 500km/h? That's perfection. In Germany the highest speed was the ICE3 at 350km/h (it was later limited to 300 and the ICE4 is limited to 250)
265T ? Rlly? max 30 -50 T :
@@DanielOpenTTD 30 - 50 ton is an avarage truck.
@@DanielOpenTTD Both power cars weigh about 60 tons. Three coaches (without passengers, but with a lot of equipment and staff), that must have weighed about 3*50 tons. 265 tons is on the right scale.
Looked up different sources: they say 265 t, 268 t and 270t
That's not true, the ICE S did 407 km/h 33 years ago and it was not modified to do so. The german ICEs would do about the same speed, if the DB decided to break the record.

It took a slight curve at almost top speed. That shows how amazing the engineering is on that route. It is interesting to see the passengers shake back and forth a little at top speed. That must have been disconcerting.

Innate Nature in man recognizes what is good and bad, what is true and false. It recognizes that the Attributes of Allah must be True, Unique, and All-Perfect. It does not feel comfortable towards any kind of degradation of His Attributes not does it qualities to the Creator. Many who became “discontent with God” did so because of the practices of the Church in medieval Europe and because of the claims of “god dwelling in a son” and the concept of the “original sin”. However, they “escaped” into worshipping a new theory called “mother nature” as well as the “material” World. With the advancement of materialistic technology others from different religions adopted the concept of “forgetting about God” and “let us live this life and enjoy it!”, not realizing that they have chosen the worship of the “original god” of Rome: Desire!.
NOW we can see that all of this materialistic and secular progress produced a spiritual vacuum that led to complex social, economical, political, and psychological problems. Many of those who “fled” their “religions” are in search again. Some try to “escape” the complexity of their daily lives via various means. Those who had the chance to examine the Qur’an and Islam, proceed with a complete way of life that relates man to establish a purpose for his presence on earth. This is well recognized in the Attributes of Allah and what does He require from man. He does not want man to be enslaved to any false deity: nature, drugs, lust, money, other man, desire, or sex. He provides man with the proofs that He is the One who can redeem so that man can free himself from the slavery to any form of creation and to turn to his Creator Alone. THIS Creator Has Perfect Attributes. He is the First, nothing is before Him, the Ever Living. To Him is the Final Return where everyone will be dealt with in the Most Perfect and Just way. He does not begot nor He is begotten. Those who attribute Divinity to Jesus forget or ignore the fact that Jesus was in a mother’s womb. He needed nutrition; he was born and grew up to be a man. He was trusted with the Gospel as a Message to the Children of Israel: “For there is One God, and one mediator (i.e. a messenger) between God and men (the
Children of Israel), the man Christ Jesus) (I Timothy 2:5). A man-messenger calling his nation not to worship him: “But in vain they do worship me!” (Mathew 15:9). A man who needs to eat, walk, sleed, rest, etc.. cannot have Divine Attributes because he is in need and God (Allah) is Self-Sufficient.

What laws are you up to?
@Jarek Rybar
Your chest is good, and you are compelling to read such things, but not to accept the other party is the most important in this life. Thank you.
It’s quite sad that there are no train evaluations like this anymore. Mainly because of the power that it gobbles while evaluating.
I've long admired the French. When they do things, it's on a grand scale. Once when travelling across France by bus, I could see the TGV snaking across the countryside. It was very impressive. It was twisting and going up and down as it rolled across the land and very soon, it disappeared from view.
Thats true rather its success or failure the French go all in
I have always admired European genes, whether in Europe or America or Australia or Canada or any other established Western/Occidental nation or culture.
Fun Fact; The Mine Detector was invented by the French and it is still saving lives today...

Hyperloop requires less energy during use, but problem comes with structural engineer, sustainability, etc. They work in theory but they just can't be put anywhere over their intended long distances. They probably won't even reach 467 km/h without a problem occuring. Which would danger Passengers lives massively.
Salute to the engineers who built that Train and the pilots who drove that..
And especially to the engineers that built and maintained the track this train took
@@regulate.artificer_g23.mdctlsk merci ! ;)
the train and tracks are so well build by the engineeers and workers, the pilot only has to push the throttle
This is a record that I see that everyone forgets about. Many focus on cars trying to reach 300mph and other things. Best to think that railways are definitely keeping up with modern machines today.
For speed enthusiast, not so much. Automotive Industries has many incentives trough marketing to glorify high speed on 4 wheels, though realistically is not possible in normal road.

At that speed the track is still so straight and level?!?? That's as much an achievement and the speed itself...felicitations all around gentlemen.
This is why high speed rail needs to be on nice new tracks. People ask why can't we just upgrade what we've got, they don't realise how fucking bumpy it would be at 350kmh!
@@biscuit715 amen.
Not level, there are plenty of 2% and 3.5% grades you can see in the video, The french have an obbesssion with steep grades
The sound is amazing. But it's actually the combined sounds of the train and the jet plane following it. They had to use one of these planes because helicopters were too slow. Which is even more amazing. :D
For those wondering, that’s 357.2mph!
Or 159.67 meters per second ( = 523.84 feet per second)
Amazing feat of engineering! Almost as fast as a plane.

Something surreal about watching this. It feels like humanity achieving the future before our eyes. What a watch, thanks for posting.
Wow! Those engineers on board looked remarkably calm and collected. A slight smile on one at about 530 km/hr. was the only change in expression I saw. Great music, too.
They had total confidence and this was not a daredevil stunt, they ramped up the speed gradually over many years solving all the engineering issue to perfection. So that even though 574 hm/h is extremely high, it was only an incremental improvement and they knew the train was safe to 700 km/h on paper, and to 550 km/h in previous tests, and they were monitoring every parameter real time. Just superb engineering.
