Hi everyone: <br /> <br /> Thank you for welcoming me to the forum. It's great that there are ladies here, too. I didn't expect to find that. <br /> I'm really impressed with the institutional knowledge everyone has. Wow. I've read and reread what everyone said to explain to dynamic braking. I think I finally understand it. It's really hard trying to figure some of these things out on your own by reading in a text book or magazine. I know a lot of you guys have some practical knowledge -- you've been out there and done it -- and that is something I don't have. <br /> The part about the bike generator really helped. I was trying to figure why the train slows. And the notion that the generators are turning against the magetic field makes a lot of sense to me. I guess it puts a drag on the drive axles of the locomotive when the generators are working against the field. What I find so amazing is that someone was actually able to figure it out and make it work. <br /> <br />Again, thanks to everyone.
