On last
meeting on Wednesday 16th, the whole bogie team got together to
discuss about the research we did during the past week and what we had learned
that could be relevant for the Spartan Superway. Also, we discussed some of our ideas
and designs posted on our personal blogs so everyone understood them. Also, we were told that it was desired to
work over the bogie already existent and to try to avoid major modifications such
a complete redesign of it. Because of this, we decided that we are going to
design a failsafe system applicable to the current bogie. It was also discussed
the idea of adding a third wheel such as the one present on most roller
coasters to make the bogie more stable since the track will have elevation
changes. In addition, I have been searching on internet more information about different
types of railways and designs that are already in use around the world, especially
the ones from roller coasters since they are the most common using hanging
designs.
