<Greys> GlsFrg|phone cound the couplings used on tokyo's public transit trains be able to withstand the weight of dangling like ten cars?
<GlsFrg|phone> Greys: godzilla?
<Greys> eh, godzilla nunchucks
<Greys> kinda
<GlsFrg|phone> the way trains stay coupled until completely annihilated in shin godzilla is ridiculous
<Greys> haven't seen it, but obviously
<GlsFrg|phone> but to answer the question
<Greys> the majority of a train is like a tin can
<Greys> train car*
<GlsFrg|phone> aar style knuckle couplers should withstand that no problem
<GlsFrg|phone> but most subvariants have no protection against slipping apart vertically
<GlsFrg|phone> that is an actual problem on derailment prone US railways
<Greys> oh yea, there's loads of mechanical problems with this
<Greys> but the pure tension wouldn't rip the coupling apart, neat
<GlsFrg|phone> I don't think shibata couplers would survive that
<Greys> oh, right, different couplings
<Greys> is shibata a thumbwars style coupler, or one of the hermaphroditic latching post sy7stems?
<GlsFrg|phone> what
<Greys> I got pretty much everything

<Greys> that's a good fuckin print
angavrilov|phone has joined #kspmodders
<Greys> that's what I would without knowing what it's actually called classify as a hermaphroditic latching post system
<GlsFrg|phone> the first two of your search results are correct
angavrilov||phone has joined #kspmodders
<Greys> so all the weight is bore by the little halfmoon sections; and probably in practice one significantly more than the other, which is why this coupler is relatively weak
angavrilov|phone has quit [Ping timeout: 186 seconds]
<Greys> force is probably a better word
<Greys> but hey, without inspecting how the couplers are attached to the train, this system seems relatively strong against vertical slip and linear torque
<GlsFrg|phone> well it is meant to be rigid
<Greys> conclusion, public transit trainchucks, not possible
<Greys> I think there's a bunch of trains having a horn fight about 5 miles away
