HIGH-SPEED NONPOLLUTING POWER-SAVING SAFE ELECTRIC TRAIN Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B60L8/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to railway transport. Proposed electric train comprises leading car and trailers with traction induction AC motors connected via reduction gearboxes with amounted axles and supplied by contact circuit, and storage batteries with charging devices. Said train is equipped with windmills with diffusion devices with screens. Restricted section of said devices are provided with openings to reduced air pressure generated in electric train motion. Windmill stations are arranged as follows. Two stations are arranged at streamlined leading car front while one to ten windmills are arranged there atop, and one to ten stations are mounted on roof of trailers. Every said windmill is connected via transformer and thyristor inverters with leading car and trailer DC traction motors. Independent voltage inverter is connected with leading car and trailer every traction motor equipped with squirrel-cage rotor and AC fan, or contact circuit is connected via transformer and AC-to-DC thyristor converters with storage batteries. Layer of elastic material is arranged on boggie frame or between pipe flanges and bogie frame.

EFFECT: nonpolluting power-saving train.
