Energy & Dynamic Braking

[YoungJim409]

Outstanding cinematography, but not a lot of meaningful content.

[hypjax2]

john roberts - ever or not

[UCSDEngineerDoctor]

FUCK YOU GE & FUCK YOU OBAMA.

[HacK32system]

i like this animation =D

[2686stewart]

super animation



[TejasNair]

Innovative!

[Lamissdjoule]

What the song??????

[2v1l]

love that music =)

[OtakuEfe]

Que guapo el video xD

[dolofonos]

Methods of efficiency have only served to perpetuate human expansion by using science to eliminate immediate consequences of overpopulation.

The world would be a happier, cleaner place if there were four-billion less on it driving around in the 'gas-guzzling' vehicles of the 1950s. We're taught that our parents were evil . . . our parents were the ones who reused the same milk-bottles every day and only owned one vehicle; and yes, even rode trains.

[shihao1981]

This isn't some new technology. The trains running in my country has been doing this since the 80s.

[TheTiagogsba]

cool...

[keydetpiper]

It's a very cool video that's neat to watch, but I really hope your engineers understand physics better than whoever made this video.

[sexynerdgirlcom]

beautiful, but I think @dmxspider has a pretty valid point.

[Hnetan]

damn, I need the name of this track.. really cool vid aswell

[Praticoisso]

John Roberts - Ever Or Not

[FatalFetalEating]

I used to drop things into my sister's kooch. 

[JamesCalex]

I wonder how much they payed for this irrelevant shot.

[00red100]

i don't really understand this video but i love the bouncing specially the balloon :P

[TheGreatSteve]

@sysopt1 It would be useful on hills also.

[TheGreatSteve]

This is regenerative braking. It even says that in the end credits!

[verhaertsara]

music is john roberts: ever or not , it is in labels and at the suggestions...

[jiniton]

i want that jelly to break!!!

[josephyuhas]

Yes. Love this song! Anyone know it?

[fehersolyom]

balloon is the best... but it would be good to see how the solution stores energy coming from force.

[andyrccar]

this is great to watch but what is it about ?

[TheGreatSteve]

@andyrccar Electrical energy from braking is stored in batteries and reused.

[babyblue03212]

I know that people are being critical of the information given in this commercial, but it doesn't take away from the fact that it is visually striking and is made that way to grab the attention of public.

[Gr33nCoBRa]

General Electric - Dynamic Braking

[L3M4st3r]

does anyone know which song is used in this vid?

[jaydubbauu]

hot damn talk about boring, throw some exploding cats in there or something jeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[crazyforoj]

this video told me nothing

[ingweinglorion]

is the best video I've seen in these 12 days, 2011.

[ingweinglorion]

is the best video I've seen in these 12 days, 2011

[WindyCityNovelties]

Sooo . . . the train does what now?

[japoniano]

It doesn't say clearly WHAT they invented

Got a jelly craving now...

[jbmnh]

And while I'm at it, it's worth pointing out that the bar graphs don't match the numbers that are displayed - they switch scales. This kind of visual "confusion" only makes it harder for people to separate emotional responses from rational responses. Our energy policy in the US has been corrupted by this sort of confusion. GE makes some of the most important transportation equipment in the world - trains and aircraft engines. I'm glad they're obsessing about energy. Too bad their PR is off.

[jbmnh]

Well, this is some cool music and high speed photography - they did that right.

But this is pretty stupid and my eighth grader can see through it. First, energy is the unit of importance - a stiff (high force) or soft (low force) system can both recover energy efficiently. Second, this gel is dissipating all the energy - it'd be a good airbag but there is no useful energy being recovered here.

Sigh. Trains were the first hybrids. They're cool. Stick with that.

Still, I like the movie.

[Ladogogo]

Beautiful

[dmxspider]

GE talks about reusing energy. Yet in this non-relevant demonstration, they measure FORCE not ENERGY. Ke=mv^2

And by the way, dynamic braking is not new.

"With GE's ecomagination we've discovered that"  -BS

[cbkenison]

@dmxspider Force is related to energy through E=intgrl(F ds)

[virgildisgrace]

Yeah, this is beautiful and all, but they're not actually telling us *anything* about their fscking technology or how it actually works. We're just supposed to take their word for it?

[E90PAT]

@virgildisgrace yeah that it involves golf balls and watermelons to stop 1'000,000 newtons of train. Duhh

[xeonic2]

How do you capture the kinetic energy? And how do it work for a train for example?

[thescooterfly]

It is the pleasure for eyes.

[colinjnagy]

I LOVE THIS

[logoside]

Joder, watching this in 720p is so awesome!! Great job!! :D

Anyways, what is that jello thing? I want a bed of that... xD

Greetings from Spain!

Amazing video!
