NHV's former Nottingham City Transport open topper RTV 442X was shown off at their latest open day with a fresh coat of paint. Now appearing strikingly similar to its closed top sibling 433, is is seen on 28.8.22
Goeiemorgen weerredactie,
Zojuist om 10.00 uur deze foto achter het huis gemaakt: windstil, dikke mist en koud bij 2 graad onder nul!
Met bloeiende groeten,
uit het Dinkeldal bij Losser in Noord-Oost Twente!

Beste redactie,
Bij deze een winters plaatje van een bevroren spinnenweb van uit Nieuwleusen. De foto is gemaakt rond 11:00 Uur.

Beste RTV oost redactie,
Hierbij mijn weerfoto gemaakt aan de Bornse beek. Vlak na dit zonnetje kreeg ik een flinke bui...
Vr Groet, André Bourgonje, Borne
The open topper was in a good position to be viewed, with its blind set for the 82 to Bulwell which is the same as on my model National.

Hallo Redactie,
n
Ondanks een slecht weer voorspelling konden rond 20.00 uur gisteravond in Hardenberg een groot aantal ballonen het luchtruim kiezen en nu maar ,,hopen,, dat ze vanavond en morgenavond de weersomstandigheden mee hebben en kunnen opstijgen.
vr groeten,

Beste rtv oost team,
Hierbij mijn inzending voor de weer foto van vandaag. Vandaag was ik op de Deldense Es en maakte daar deze foto.

Hallo Redactie,
We krijgen even dit weekend volgens de voorspelling een dipje in het weer,vanochtend bij zon op (06.45 uur )een kring om de zon wat kan duiden op regen in ton…maar deze fraaie oranje zonsopkomst zou dat leiden naar olympisch goud vandaag voor een aantal overijsselse deelnemers o.a. bij de BMX,en en de springpaarden..we wachten af.
vr groeten,

Tracked Hovercraft was an experimental high speed train developed in the United Kingdom during the 1960s. It combined two British inventions, the hovercraft and linear induction motor, in an effort to produce a train system that would provide 250 mph (400 km/h) inter-city service with lowered capital costs compared to other high-speed solutions. Substantially similar to the French Aérotrain and other hovertrain systems of the 1960s, Tracked Hovercraft suffered a similar fate as these projects when it was cancelled as a part of wide budget cuts in 1973.
By the time construction was preparing to start in 1970, a new problem had appeared. Prior to construction most LIMs were test systems that had operated at low speeds, but as the speeds increased it was noticed that the mechanical forces of the LIM windings on the stator plate gave rise to a serious safety issue. Magnetic forces vary with the cube of distance, so any change in distance between the motor and stator plate caused it to be pulled more strongly to the closer side. At high speeds, the forces involved were so great that it was possible for the stator plate to crack along vertical joins in the plates, at which point it could strike the motor, or portions of the vehicle behind the crack point. Even without an outright failure, any mechanical motion in the plate due to the forces of the passing train could induce waves in the stator that travelled along with it. If the vehicle then decelerated these waves could catch up with it. Additionally, the passing of the train heated the plate, potentially weakening it mechanically. Laithwaite concluded that the double-sided LIM was "far too dangerous" to use.
Most systems using LIMs -there were dozens by this point- redesigned their tracks to use a single-sided LIM over a stator plate lying flat between the rails. This led to another redesign of the Hovertrain guideway as a square box girder with the LIM stator attached flat on the top of the box, and the electrical pick-ups below on either side of it. Power pick-ups extended from the rear of the vertical wing-like surfaces on either side of the vehicle, and the sparks they threw during operation are easily visible on test runs.
Starting in the 1970s, construction of test track started in the fens at Earith in Cambridgeshire. The track was about 6 feet (1.8 m) off the ground, running along the earthworks between the Old Bedford River and the Counter Drain just to its north, between Earith and the Denver Sluice. The first 4-mile (6.4 km) long section of the planned 20-mile (32 km) long track was laid to Sutton-in-the-Isle. Along the full 20-mile (32 km) length it was expected the train would reach 300 mph (480 km/h).
On 7 February 1973 the first test train, Research Test Vehicle 31, or RTV 31, reached 104 mph (167 km/h) on a 1-mile (1.6 km) section, in spite of the short track and a 20 mph (32 km/h) headwind. The test was heavily publicised and shown on BBC news throughout the day. Much of the interest stemmed from rumours that the project was facing imminent cancellation. Aerospace Minister Michael Heseltine sent Michael McNair-Wilson to view the test. Heseltine said in an interview that he believed that the project would not be cancelled.
