How to save electricity comfortably

 

How to save electricity comfortablyDue to the constant increase in energy prices, people constantly have to pay a lot for them. They will only get used to the same prices, and it will not seem so much - again the price increase - and again a lot. Well, people, I suppose, could also save energy. And enterprises do not have to save - you need to work.

But to whom it is not enough just to save - it is necessary to produce. You can do everything! What you want. You can, for example, buy a house. And you can build it yourself. And a car. And you can and the power plant.

You don’t have enough energy - you can buy a windmill, or solar panels - and get electricity. At many agricultural enterprises, and not only on them, it is possible to actively save precious electricity.

The recovery system on electric trains is taken into account by a separate meter. And there are routes when the train returns to the power grid as much energy as it spent on the trip! A train with empty wagons consumes much more electricity than a laden one!

Empty cars are light and with a huge sail. And the wind is never fair. As a result, the motors are constantly working to accelerate. “Drag him like hell by the hair!” - says the driver.

A loaded train is a completely different picture: the wind flows around full wagons, and there is a huge moment of inertia of a heavy car on rails - it travels several kilometers on the coast.


How to save electricity comfortablyIn general, soon all the wheels of the machines will be profitably replaced by a motor - wheels, because only the brake pads will not wear out, and the braking energy will turn into a stored electric one.

Saving gasoline per trip 30-40%. Plus, riding at low speeds on electricity. Doubles engine life. Do not pull it in minor rebuildings, but only include it if you travel far and long.

There is little space in the trunk - remove the batteries in the carrying case on the roof. To cover a car with solar panels at least from above is not a lot of current, but only at first glance. This is not a cabin overheating plus all electrical appliances will work for you for free.

You can still put a windmill on the roof. Not to the car, of course, to the house where you live. Now they make almost eternal unattended military technology.

You can live somehow, but you can comfortably. You can constantly pay for comfort, but you can invest money and make a profit. And not in someone else’s company, but in his own. Stingy? Sit and save. And if you want - think and be rich!

    A train with empty wagons consumes much more electricity than a laden one!

    Empty cars are light and with a huge sail.

    Electricity (kilowatt hours) in an electric train is spent on: 1 acceleration, 2 friction of mechanical parts, 3 air resistance.

    1 the number of kilowatt hours that are spent during acceleration in direct proportion to the mass of the train, as well as recovered (returned) during braking (in theory).

    2 friction of mechanical parts depends on mass. One cannot speak of an unambiguous correlation, but nevertheless with some assumptions it can be said that the greater the mass, the greater the friction, and hence the loss of kilowatt hours. Also, friction is higher, the higher the speed.

    3 air resistance depends I C K L YU CH I T E L N N on the shape and size of the train, and of course on speed.There is no rigid one-to-one correspondence between resistance and speed. N O air resistancedoes not depend on the mass of the train.

    If it were written somewhere else, I would not have paid attention: “Well, people don’t know physics and God bless them.” But here, on the site of electricians ...

    Although maybe I shouldn’t do it in vain? ..

    I hope you had in mind that with a large mass of payload, the costs of acceleration and friction are large, as is the amount of restored electricity, and the costs of air resistance are always constant. From here illusionthat with an empty train, air resistance is higher.

    Yeah, and let's remember that recovery is often impossible - either you start loading the traction substation, or you just have to slow down at low speeds. In the first case, hello, heating the atmosphere with rheostats, and in the second - dust formation from the pads. And it’s very difficult to make DC traction substations able to receive recuperated energy. They tried on the Oktyabrskaya Road, it didn’t work out, everyone walks like that, they burn the rheostats and wash the pads.

    P.S. About air resistance, yes, nonsense is written. It generally begins to play at least some role for 100 km / h, before that - the so-called. The main resistance of the train and resistance from the curves. Any book on the theory of electric traction will help to understand the issue.

    We have a constant current on the Kuibyshev road. Electric locomotives can recuperate, but not everywhere can be used. Our closest "neighbors" are the Southeast AC road. There is no recovery there in principle - a rheostat, and even that does not work on all machines. Warm the air with brake resistors - see above.

    Railway worker,
    Actually, recovery is possible on a break, and how will you drive direct current into the network?
