Porsche believes that the weight of 45 tons is too burdened for mechanical transmission systems! It is easy to cause mechanical failures, so he developed the telex drive across the ages!

Behind the chassis of this tank, there are two air-cooled pohetype101/1 engines, each of which can produce 310 horsepower. This engine does not directly drive the tracks.

The engine drives the generator, which then supplies power to two motors, and the motor drives the tank forward. This is the standard electric drive.

He did not use a diesel engine. The characteristics of the diesel engine are low torsion and strong. Now, it is useless to drive a generator to low torsion. The important thing is to have power! The power of a diesel engine at the same weight is not as good as a gasoline engine.

This concept is very advanced. In later generations, all-electric propulsion was popular, and even warships were doing this.

However, now, this advanced design means bad and continuous mechanical failures! After all, the industrial foundation of this era cannot support such advanced designs!

In this regard, Cialek has also suffered. The Black Panther tank was forced to be reduced to 20 tons, which was because the mechanical manufacturing failed to meet the standards. It took several years to achieve a breakthrough and truly matured.

Hitler trusted Porsche very much. Facing this tank, Hitler looked up and down and asked questions constantly, while Dr. Porsche smiled and answered them one by one.

The people around could only wait aside, especially those of Henschel Company, who knew that Hitler's preferences were very important.

"Cialique, what do you think of the chassis of this tank?" Hitler asked Cialique with enthusiasm.

This was just an ordinary question, but when this sentence was finished, everyone calmed down. If Cialick agreed, it could be said that there would be nothing Henschel's business.

"I just want to know how long it took for the tank chassis to be driven from a nearby train station?" asked Cialek.

This is simply an irrelevant question, and this question made Porsche blush.

How long does it take? The train station is only fifteen kilometers away, but it took two days to walk!

Why? Because there are too many chassis failures!

"It's all a problem with Siemens. The engines they produce are unreliable. However, I believe that these engines will gradually become more reliable. Our chassis is the most advanced." Dr. Porsche did not directly answer Cialick's question, but directly explained.

When I came over, the motor on one side suddenly stopped rotating. After checking for a few hours, the fault was eliminated, and there were no more than five minutes to continue departure, and the gasoline engine stopped rotating again!

It was simply a series of malfunctions, and Dr. Porsche was very depressed.

Now, when Chirik asked the key point in one sentence, he had a little more awe of Chirik. At that time, Dr. Porsche developed the Beetle under the recommendation of Chirik. Now, no matter how high Dr. Porsche climbs, he has to respect Chirik's opinions.

Cialek shook his head: "Dr. Porsche, your concept is very advanced, but our troops need simple and reliable tanks. Our tank soldiers cannot be equipped with a tank with constant failure."

"General Cialick, we can eliminate all these faults in half a year!" Porsche, whose face turned red, said to Cialick.

"Then let's go until the end of this year. I'll give you two more months," said Cialick. "If the fault cannot be eliminated, I can only say sorry."

Dr. Porsche is the chief consultant for tank development, but Cialick has the power to decide life and death in one sentence. Moreover, Dr. Porsche knows that if his tank is always faulty, it will definitely not be fixed.

Cialek knew that it took half a year to eliminate these faults and it would be impossible to deal with them in less than two or three years. In later generations, all Porsche projects were miscarried. It was not until the 188-ton mouse tank that this system was matured and reached the point where it could be used.

Of course, Hitler was also a wise man. When he heard the conversation between Cialick and Porsche, he knew that Cialick saw the problem of this tank at a glance, and he couldn't help but lose his interest.

"Let's take a look at this one again." Hitler came to another chassis on the side.

The technicians of Henschel Company were excited.

Porsche Company was established for only ten years, while Henschel Company is an old-fashioned company.

The Henschel factory in Kassel, eastern Germany was founded in the early 1800s and initially mainly produced heavy machinery such as railway locomotives. Now, the company's project has been greatly expanded, involving almost all aspects, including locomotives, tank diesel engines, trucks, aircraft and artillery equipment.

And now, the technician who was following Hitler was Irving Adelle, the head of the Tiger tank project and chief designer.

Irving carefully introduced to Hitler: "Our tank chassis adopts a conventional layout. We commissioned Maybach to expand the diesel engines they produced, with a power of 730 horsepower, which can be further increased to 780 horsepower or even more than 800 horsepower in the later stage."

What should I do when the engine's horsepower is not enough? The easiest thing is to expand the borehole, that is, increase the displacement!

Of course, this will result in the non-universal of accessories and almost all of them have to be remade, but this is also the fastest way to improve performance.

Historically, the Tiger tank used a 21-liter 12-cylinder Maybach HL210 P30 gasoline engine, which can output 650 horsepower. Unfortunately, it still cannot drive the 56-ton Tiger tank.

So, Maybach quickly upgraded it to hl230 p45 23 liters and 700 horsepower, making the maximum speed of the Tiger tank reach 38km/h, which is done by expanding the bore.

It is very mature in technology, so there is no need to worry about additional failures.

Now it seems that 60 tons seems to be a huge data, but in later generations, which urban dump trucks are not sixty tons? Many trailers on the road are 100 tons. It is not impossible for such a normal mechanical device to drive a weight of dozens of tons.

Moreover, the technicians of Henschel Company are more thoughtful about the design of this tank and their transmission system is more advanced!

How advanced is it? For example, even the 96 tanks in later generations did not reach its level. (I don’t know if this is right, please give me a quick blow to you. You can discuss it in the book review area. If it is really wrong, the hero of East China will delete this sentence. Our tanks inherit the advantages of the Russian durability and simplicity of the system, and are really not products that pursue advanced performance.)
