You're talking about a 70's prototype, but that does not mean it would need a kerosene turbine if it was made nowadays. Actually, the Aérotrain S44 used a linear electric motor.
A train brakes by blocking the wheels on two relatively small rails, and the wheels can lose traction.
An aerotrain reverses its propulsion, using it as a brake. No slippage possible here.
It can also bite the rail, having a way bigger braking surface, as well as having an interface dedicated to braking directly on the rail instead of a brake on a wheel on a rail.
And in emergencies, you can even stop the suspension and let the aerotrain rest directly on the rail to brake. That's a bit brutal and causes damages (at least back in the 70's), but that stops the Aérotrain quite fast and is way better than derailing or hitting something.
Taking the french Aérotrain advantages:
- Higher speed (due to inexistant rail drag)
- More comfortable
- Less noise
- Faster braking
- Way cheaper rails and maintenance (just concrete rails that don’t get rolled on, no steel)
- Rails can be easily elevated, taking less space on the ground and avoiding intersections with roads as well as landlocking. Basically, you can cross fields without bothering farmers too much
You needlessly want to punish tens of thousands of people for the acts of a few hundred. It's cruel, pointless and very damaging, and your tirades from a high-school essay only support the shallowness and immaturity of your thinking. I won't waste any more time on you.
You want to use the "throw everybody out and see what happens", and you claim how much better things would be under your governance.
You're talking like a Elon Musk wanna-be, even using shitty metaphors that mask all the complexity of the problems, and the cruelty that these kinds of decisions imply.
You want to throw 20k employees out without any consideration for the economic and personal consequences, not to mention all the other companies around who will see their business sometimes heavily impacted.
All this to make a stupid metaphor. You're 14 at best.
The workers, the gamers, and the industry are glad you're not in charge of anything, punishing them for things they have no control over, and wasting good talents and infrastructure.
No, make it a entirely employee-owned company, so they can vote the execs out, sanitize the culture, and keep the thousands of worker out of unemployment
You can look up for:
- Setting up max authentication attemps per connection -> slows up a lot brute force attacks. If your password is strong enough, that's already a big step to secure your server.
- Generate SSH Keys and disable password authentication -> do this only if you're connecting through the same devices, because you won't be able to connect from any device that has not being set up. Personally I don't use this because I want to be able to access my server even if I'm not home and without my laptop
- Set up Crowdsec -> it's a local service which scans logs and will block access to any suspicious IPs. It also relies on a crowdsourced list of IPs that are identified as threat and will preventively block them
Now let's do intercity trains and tramways then
Thanks for sharing your researches
So we can have autonomous metros, buses and taxis that allow people anywhere when they need it so they don't rely on having a car?
