Sorry mate!
Technically speaking, I may not appreciate your 'bs baffles brains' post
.
- Who said anything about AC/DC? I'm talking about the power delivery/transfer system only. That pantograph $hit is over 100 yrs. old, sure China uses it on high speed rail too, so what. Outdated idea outdated hi hota hai.
Why do you think I'm sad about this?
The reason is that a fantastic opportunity to build a modular, upgradable, scalable open source system was botched
;( You may be a fan of AC. I would bet the future on DC.
DC makes far more sense in Delhi and developing country context, except Edison of GE fame long ago ran away with AC with good marketing. Re: Delhi metro, bet you vested interests played a role. Steel brokers, traders.Because double decker carbon-fibre rakes/coaches will be that much harder to run.
Yeah, double deck, carbon fibre rakes. Coming up!
