Hello, good afternoon. This is my second post. Thank you for reading.
Russian old magazines on the Internet are a cemetery of romantic impractical futurism. I found absolutely unique magazines - a rarity even on the Internet. This is Knowledge-Power. Journals for students of polytechnic colleges.
1. The first project is unique because of the panorama from the window of the nuclear locomotive driver! This is the world's only design illustration of the view from the cabin of a nuclear train. I found the author. Russian-Jewish professor (not a gesheftmacher!), military specialist, founder of Russian visual fiction George Pokrovsky. An old artist from Moscow showed me all the paintings and publications of Professor Pokrovsky. Oh yes, this is a masterpiece, Russian Chesley Bonestill! Professor Pokrovsky created a project for a Russian nuclear locomotive and a giant echelon. For them, the professor came up with an ultra-wide rail gauge. Look at his picture: the rail track in front of the cabin is very wide. And attention to the mountains: the ridge of the mountains is expanded by atomic explosions. The professor came up with three stages of the project: the atomic laying of a track in the mountains through directed nuclear explosions, the laying of an ultra-wide gauge and an atomic train.
It is an ideal transportation utopia in typical socialist style. But our American old men told me: the atomic locomotive and ultra-wide rail gauge are one hundred percent our American idea of 1926 and 1946-53. Hugo Garnsback and Popular Science!
2. The second Russian project is a flying car. This is not a hovercraft. This is a car with a metal body on powerful fans for a screen effect. Flat wingless ekranoplan on an air metal cushion! Its wheels fold. Captions for illustrations in Russian.
Reasonable question: what are the forgotten American original projects of the 1950s-1960-1970-1980-s? Magazines - Mechanics Illustrated and Science & Mechanics. Air Trails and Air Progress. English magazines - Eagle, Wonders of the World. I discovered them for myself in 2017-2021. Especially the British ones. These are very interesting topics and discussions, but they are for fans of utopian projects. Ultra-giant aircraft, colossal airships, high-rise rovers, glass-domed military bases in the Arctic, crazy military projects, space utopias. FuturePast...
