well i have a question and im not sure if this is the right place....anyways my question is this....

to power a train system large enough to run across large cities such as new york, would solar power be enough?? i mean theoretically speaking, how large would the solar panels need to be? 1 square mile? just wondering............


I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Hi there!


Jaja... I agree with Vexed&Glorious... it would be hard to work with solar panels in NYC, specially in the Midtown...
However, I'm not an expert, but I think there's a lot to do in the whole system... I mean: is it necessary to build huge solar panels? or, wouldn't it better to work on the electric system so that the same solar energy can be "powered"?

Think of this: first it came the CD, then the DVD, then the HD-DVD and the Blue-Ray... the same format (a rounded disc) but with higher data storing capacity...
