Diesel - Electric Powertrain and Explanation

Description
Welcome

Very simple and easy to make diesel-electric powertrain for all your creations!

How can this be used?

However you like, check out the video for explanation and showcase.

You will be explain how to connect everything together and how to implement it in your creations.

What is diesel - electric?

Originally posted by Ady:
A diesel-electric powertrain uses a diesel engine to generate electricity, which then powers electric motors to drive the vehicle. The diesel engine doesn't directly drive the wheels like in a traditional car; instead, it acts as a generator to produce electrical energy. This energy is then sent to electric motors, which turn the wheels. It's like having a diesel-powered generator on board that supplies electricity to motors, making the vehicle move. This setup is often used in trains, ships, and some hybrid buses because it offers better fuel efficiency and flexibility in power delivery.

As in real life and of course in Stormworks, this type of powertrain can be used in many different situations:

  • Vessels with azimuth thrusters
  • Tanks
  • Trains
  • Ships
  • Loaders
  • Mining vehicles
just to name a few.

So it is only on your imagination to decide which way you implement this system.

I wanted to share my simple yet effective MC, check out my latest YT video where I showed how to make it.

Also I am not claiming this is the best and only way, as for your question, yes it can do basically what you said but that mainly relies on generator power

But how is it special over literally any other diesel-electric engine? Does it have some special maths to ramp up engine throttle when more electricity is required or?

Thank you 😄

Felix its a diesel generator. It produces electricity for electric motors / your creation in general. Its very good. 5 stars from me :steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup:

I don't know how to answer your question, this is diesel-electric powertrain, nothing more or less.
The quote explains basics of the concept.

What does this actually do?
