The High Speed train that never stops at a station

The High Speed train that never stops at a station YET PASSENGERS GET ON & OFF
*The train that never stops at a station: - How to get on and off the non-stop high speed train!*



A new Chinese train innovation - How to get on & off the bullet train without stopping. VERY COOL CONCEPT !

No time is wasted. The bullet train is moving all the time. If there are 30 stations between Beijing and Guangzhou, just stopping and accelerating again at each station will waste both energy and time. A mere 5 min stop per station (elderly passengers cannot be hurried) will result in a total loss of 5 min x 30 stations or 2.5 hours of train journey time!

The Chinese are innovative enough to come up with a non-stopping train concept. When the train arrives at a station, it will not stop at all.

The passenger at a station embarked onto to a connector cabin way before the train even arrive at the station. When the train arrives, it will not stop at all. It just slows down to pick up the connector cabin
which will move with the train on the roof of the train. While the train is still travelling away from the station, those passengers will board the train from the connector cabin mounted on the train's roof. After fully unloading all its passengers, the connector cabin will be moved to the back of the train so that the  next batch of outgoing passengers who want to alight at the next station will board the connector cabin at the rear of the train roof. When the train arrives at the next station, it will simply drop the whole connector cabin at the station itself and leave it behind at the station. The outgoing passengers can take their own time to disembark at the station while the train had already left. At the same time, the train will pick up the incoming embarking passengers on another connector cabin in the front part of the train's roof. So the train will always drop one connector cabin at the rear of its roof and pick up a new connector cabin in the front part of the train's roof at each station.

Project Aakash - Ipad

Finally, the day has come in the Indian history that we can boast of showing that we have achieve a great height what others have not. The Government of India has finally launched a tablet PC in association with Datawind, a technology company. The tablet is available at mere 35$ or 2276 Rs including takes precisely. The tablet runs on a android platform and is capable of running word, power point and pdf files. The tablet has an internal memory of 256 mb which can be increased to 2GB through SD card and has a Wifi connectivity with a sim card slot for internet. The one of its kind tablet would be available to students at a price of Rs.1200 thanks to the government subsidy.




A good thing to know is that India is taking step by step to become a super power in the coming years. We can proudly say that if US has given the world an Ipad, India has given Aakash. If Ipad is launched every year with a new version for people who can afford it , we have launched Aakash for the people who cannot afford it. This is the difference, a huge difference !

The difference which starts from a tablet does not limit it their, but continue to each and every aspect of life, including a raring difference between the Wall Street and the Dalal Street. The difference in the financial system, the difference in how we tackle the crisis and also the difference in how we find a solution and not run away from it.

President Obama takes a long pending decision to move the economy but cannot create a single job. Not able to stop the movement of the Job from the west to the east. Neither able to stop the protest by the people against the Wall street greedy monkeys. The question is will he be able to stop the so called Chapter 11 season which is yet to start. Last season saw around 100 banks filing chapter 11, what bout this season. Will still their be privatization of profit and socialization of losses ??

A Small lesson to be learnt for Mr. Obama and also to the people behind the movement behind the Euro countries from Project Aakash. It's not what kind of technology you offer matters, but whom you offer matters. It's high time they start taking basic economical decision rather than just pushing the economy with a temporary boast.
