Electromagnetic force - Stronger and with infinite range.Weak nuclear force - Next weakest but short range.Gravity - Weakest force but has infinite range.
Scientists understand that there are four fundamental forces that act on all things in the universe: 'To move business leaders and politicians globally to the realisation that fossil fuel is just one source of energy and there are others now, like gravitational energy, rapidly emerging, which are more efficient, lower cost and green. 'The Infinity Train will join Fortescue's green fleet under development and will contribute to Fortescue becoming a major player in the growing global market for green industrial transport equipment, providing great value for our shareholders,' said Dr Andrew Forrest, Fortescue's founder and chairman. Together, the two companies will work to accelerate the transition to green energy and help the industry cut carbon emissions to zero by the end of the decade. The firm announced the train following its acquisition of UK-based battery firm Williams Advanced Engineering (WAE), which was born out of Williams F1 in 2010. It works in the same way that hybrid electric cars are powered. The Australian engineering company behind the plan, Fortescue Future Industries, said it would also remove the need for any trains to be powered by diesel.

This echoes the 2013 post-apocalyptic science fiction movie Snowpiercer, where the Earth has frozen and a train carrying survivors must stay in perpetual motion circling the globe. The friction of braking to slow the train will re-generate electricity and theoretically mean the locomotive could transport materials and one day people without having to stop. It will run on an electric battery that won't need to be recharged using conventional charging infrastructure because it will instead harness gravitational energy on downhill sections of a track. Their task is to create the world's first 'Infinity Train', powered by the force of gravity, which will then be rolled out to a rail network later this decade. Train delays and cancellations are every commuter's biggest bug bear.īut those relentless hold-ups would surely be minimised if there was a locomotive that never needed to stop to refuel or recharge because it had a constant power source.Īnd that's just what scientists are developing with the help of a £38 million ($50 million) budget.
