Big Alice (Engine): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:43, 7 April 2021

The Engine also known as Big Alice is the propulsion method of Big Alice. Big Alice is a propulsion method of a secondary supply train of the same name. The Engine is a perpetual motion machine that propels the train forward with the use of hydrogen gained from the snow outside and without any obvious need for maintenance. The secondary function of the Engine is that of a powerplant for car bogie-motors and on-board batteries. As such, the speed of the train is directly tied to its power supply.

History

Big Alice was the prototype of the Engine Eternal, made by Wilford Industries. After construction of Snowpiercer, she was delegated to a secondary role as a Engine for the secondary supply train of the same name and stored at Wilford Industries' compound near Chicago.

Technology

The Engine has a Booster that increases it's speed.

Trivia

Big Alice is push-pull type engine with the ability to go forward and backwards at apparently the same speed. This is contrary to the Snowpiercer which is pull-type engine with primary ability of pulling its cars behind it.
Big Alice is powerful enough to push the entire train of Snowpiercer completely powered down for a short time.
In the front control room, Alexandra Cavill overhauled a panel and upgraded the interface on the second revolution.
There is a secret way into the Engine by a hatch, in the floor, in Wilford's closet.
