This is on my bucket list. It's like traveling on an airport runway for 7 minutes.
Hey, in 5 years japan is getting those
@@no_name4796 yes and even more faster.....near to 600km/hr
it's way, way faster than airplane on runway
@@MichalKajrunajtys that's 140mph, the new Japanese one is 300mph
Why don´t we build a few in Europe in steed. Its not like we don´t need more track infrastruture
Jesus, looking out through the window of that thing is like being in an airplane taking off on the runway
i know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot the password. I love any help you can offer me.
@Warren Harley Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
The insane thing is that planes takeoff at ~250 kmph, and this maglev is running at almost double speed of it
Yeah. It really feels like the train is gonna go up in the air any second as I watch this video.
jesus never using maglev train
guys yall are saying it's fast as plane taking off. Well no, it's like 2x faster lol. Average taking off speed for planes is 200-300 km/h and this maglev is going almost 500 km/h
It’s going 430 k/h, but yeah, still very fast.
500 km/h was been reached from Transrapid on a test ride but commercial is max 430 km/h
This might be the best maglev ride video on UA-cam.
Thank you for the comment! I try!!
Saw the maglev train from Shanghai, very kind! :) Thank you, even though I am in Shanghai, I have not observed the maglev train so carefully, thank you again.
As always: superb footage.
Thank you!
Wow! What a super-smooth ride! It's like flying at ground level. This is truly the perfect solution for smaller stretches that are uneconomical for flights. I would like to travel on Maglev some day.
Wow, extremely fast, can't wait till they finally build the one over here that they have been working on for 20 years. Only problem is that, I've heard next to no one rides this thing and its really only popular with tourist who go out of their way to get on it.
Jame M now that the metro trains go to the airport, everyone takes this instead because it’s much cheaper. The maglev is not very expensive for tourists who want a fun train ride, but for locals, it’s too expensive.
It's too expensive for a daily ride when metro get to the same place at fraction of the cost only a little bit later.
The SMT line was suppose to be extended with 4 more stations. SMT was built and is owned by Shanghai municipality government, not by the Chinese government.
When they was about to extend it the Chinese government blocked it for then unknown reasons. But after the corruption court case, its pretty clear what happened
This is the first decent video of the Transrapid. You really lucked out with that meet. You must have rented a car to get those wayside shots.
Thank you! I didn't have a car or bike. I took the subway 1/2 way and then a motorcycle taxi to the track. From there I walked A LOT! At the end of the day, I find a taxi to take me back to the subway. I've done this a few times on a few different trips to Shanghai. I wish I had a better shot of the meet, from some elevated bridge or hill, but it was really hemmed in there.
Dude that maglev passing at 4:07 scared me lol
Man that thing flew by at nearly 600 km/s if we take the speed of the outgoing and coming maglevs into account, Jesus
I'm late to the video. But same!
lmao I wanted to say the same thing! It was insane! So cool! That train is probably 150 meters long and it flew by in a milisecond😮💀
@@istoleyourcoffeekm/h*
Feels like I am on the train, thank you!
This is what hs2 should have been, no broken tracks or delays due to weather, little to no maintenance needed, true high speed
I really doubt UK would even consider a maglev for HS2. Although the fastest train, it's also the most expensive to construct and run. The conventional HSR planned as it is, is already controversial.
@@hurbrowns5397 Hs2 currently of high overpriced than maglev now by 2 billion original they say it would cost 3 .5 billion to build it but the maglev say vitcwas 4.2 billion. Now currently bits cost double what they said and it's still a billion to spend minimum .
@@ram64man Yeah but Maglev line would have cost overrun too.. I would love a maglev but let's be realistic. It would never be considered despite higher speed than conventional high speed rail. The cost to run a full lenght cities to cities at 500-550km/h operational speed is too high.
@@ram64man there would be no point building a train that can go at 250mph in UK, the distance between cities is not large enough to justify it. Even the planned HS2 speed of around 205-225 is frankly ridiculous given it's only going to cut travel times by a relatively insignificant amount. Makes a lot more sense for a larger country like France or Spain
@@philipeafroboy1 The point of HS2 is not to reduce journey times (though that is an added benefit) but rather to free up the current railways running at max capacity
Awesome as usual
Brilliant, Luke, thanks again.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching, again I think!
@@Luke_Starkenburg I don't think I've seen this one, shared to two of our maglev oriented facebook groups, thanks.
@@malcolmwatt3308 awesome! Thanks!
Another fascinating video! It is exciting to see how the maglev raced with the metro train. I bet the speed of that metro train was not slow though. Maybe flying a drone to capture some footage of maglev would be your next goal. 😆
Thank you! I was wondering who would win the race!! Haha!
In Shanghai, there is a no-fly zone near the airport. Of course, it is already far away from the airport's no-fly zone near the Longyang Road terminal, so you can fly. There is a question, will the magnetic field of the maglev train affect the drone? If it will, the maglev train will definitely win the race :)
@@WuWa.Shanghai The computers overcome the magnétic interference. I have a laptop with Windows 10 and it's a 2016 model and it doesn't have interference when a metal piece magnetizes with the unión of the keyboard.
Drons doesn't have the advance to fight againist magnétic interference, notebooks have it.
BRO THE MAGLEV IS FADTER THAN A F1 CAR DO YOU EXPECT A DRONE TRAVEL FASTER THAN A MAGLEV!?
No drone can fly that speed. It would be out of sight within seconds.
I was lucky to travel a few times to and from pudong airport on this fantastic train on a visit to Shanghai in 2008 😀
WOW...excellent Video! I like it!
Thanks!
Thank you for the great video and taking us along for the ride :) 😍🚅😍
Wow I had no idea that A maglev train goes that fast and I also already knew that it hovers over the track so it can go pretty fast which is pretty amazing if I do say so myself.
Too bad this is the only system in the world like this.
The japanese are building a new line that will go even faster and will open in 2027. You just have to be a bit patient.
I think that it is not..
I meant - too bad it's the only one by Transrapid
@@skyliner3396 hopefully no delay, they have been at it for the last 20plus years
I agree. I'd love to take one of these from London to Edinburgh or perhaps all the way to the south of Spain!? Rather than fly perhaps. Better for the environment as the electricity could be fed from 100% renewables. Though maybe hyperloop would be better for such long journeys!?
They should have extended the line like originally planned maybe then more people would use it , such as the Beijing Shanghai line proposed
I agree. This line should be extended to downtown Shanghai and future lines should be built in China. They are developing a new maglev which looks identical to this, but the new maglev can go 600km/h.
2007 was the last and only time I rode on this thing, and I certainly do not remember much about it, so thanks for this video. Back then I didn't have a video camera, and only took several shots with my D-SLR. All in all, nice video and you should have featured a shot of the speed meter inside the train at 430kmph; unless they removed that feature at time of shooting. And I don't recall this thing was that noisy until I watch your video.
that whining sound while acceleration... 🤩🤩🤩 I thought electric trains and other future trains will be too much silent... and I don't like that..thank you luke for changing my mind 😅😅
A M A Z I N G
And great video once again
Thank you!
Very very nice video. I thought that they were going to be expanding it. Not sure if that has happened?? This was a few years ago.
They announced that they will extend it, but as with many announcements, years go by without any updates.
Russian Language: Большое спасибо за это видео! Очень хотелось бы видеть такие поезда в России!
If so, post Putin 🤣
I am enjoying the trip in your video, I`ve been Shanghai, but I didn't take the train
everything outside look stand still in time. This feel like time travel indeed.
very nice video!
Thank you very much!
I rode this back in 2010. Still as eerily fast as I remember.
the tr08 is very Great, i Wish i could Drive with a Transrapid, greetings from Emsland
The world's most awesome and coolest bullet train! I reckon that the NZ Green party should look into having maglevs running from Auckland to Wellington. 😎🤠
Amazing .....!!!
At 4:07, another train passes by!
We need more of these systems around the world this is what high speed 2 should have been with a mk 7 designs, China sell it to the U.K. all kit and caboodle
The maglev train will have a certain impact on the environment. Shanghai once had to build another maglev line, but it was opposed by the citizens and the construction plan was cancelled.
WUWA VISION yes but the conclusion after investigation found the citizens complaints about the original were unfounded and the em radiation from the magnetics from the track was not related in any way to the 14 cases of cancer in one area, as the maintenance track in question was unpowered when not in use. The lead poisoning and cancer was later found to be contaminated in the drinking water from an unfiltered local spring. The shockwave and Noise levels were also found to be significantly lower than the local low speed rail, but by then the policy had change to the high speed rail line and a lawsuit by transrapid found China using its intellectual property rights stopped the mk7 design completely since then no more work has happened on high speed maglev for over 10 years instead the s1 metro line and experimental mono rail was developed in China as a cheaper alternative since Germany has shut down transrapid project in favour of further cheaper conventional rail ice de designs, I fear that this may be the only working transrapid link in the world unless another country helps co fund and deploy , and there seems to be a definitive sit and wait for the results of the Japanese system to start service before spending the 60 billon track and cart costs
You mean Germany sell it to UK? Germany made the transrapid but for some reason they don’t use it in their own country.
@@hamanakohamaneko7028 transrapid no longer exist in nothing but name and patterns, they lack the ability to produce any trains at transrapid hq as it was dismantled and turned into housing
@@ram64man Well at least they were able to export this marvel of engineering to China.
Makes the monorail at Disney World look like a kids' toy in comparison. lol
Very nice and interesting video!
I've never seen a view out the front before over the operator's shoulder, that's awesome! I'm surprised to see how much the operator was jostling around, though.
It’s not as smooth as traditional high speed rail, which surprised me greatly when I first rode it. I heard that the test track/train in Germany was much smoother.
A maglev has a streamlined fuselage so it's designed
@@Luke_Starkenburg I only know the test track in Germany from back, when I was a child, but that one was more smooth than flying. The rough ride of Shanghai is surprising indeed. Is it built this sloppy?
@@Luke_Starkenburgthe german track had (has, it still exists) two dufferrent kinds of tracks, a concrete one and a metal one. one was more bumpy than the other.
@@SimonBauer7 interesting. I didn’t know this.
A esa velocidad consume mucha energía, pero un metro basado en maglev con trenes corriendo entre 80-100 km/h entre estaciones el gasto de energía es menor al de un tren normal, también se pueden hacer líneas expresas que conecten los aeropuerto con el centro o zonas muy alejadas de la ciudad corriendo a 120-160 km/h, realmente es más eficiente que un monoriel clásico y la construcción es mas barata que un metro subterráneo, también el mantenimiento es mas barato que un tren normal o un monoriel al no tener contacto con el riel.
Incredible train.
2:50 i see a frozen plane in the air what the
That plane really does look like its just hanging in the air! I'm sometimes amazed at watching huge planes take off, like the B747 or A380. They look like they are moving so slow when they take off. Looks physically impossible.
I guess because the camera was moving at such a high speed the opposite way it made it look stationary
Look at the air quality itself, chokefest
Did you record it recently?
No, this was a few years ago.
Plus they restricted maglevs in 2020
If there are no moving parts to the power train, what's causing the mechanical sound frequency change? All I can assume is induction noise into the vehicle frame from the track loop interaction.
lohphat it’s a good question and way above my knowledge. I know that the slow/medium speed urban maglevs I’ve ridden and watched, their is an electrical hum when the maglev is accelerating and decelerating, but very quiet when traveling at a constant speed. The Linimo Maglev in Japan was absolutely quiet when swooshing past you at 100km/h when I was very close to the track.
It's basically like a linear motor so probably that's why
A G yes, it has similar sounds as the Vancouver Skytrain which uses linear motor (for 2 lines).
@@Luke_Starkenburg I love the old school Skytrain up there! It sounds like electrical gear shifting. xD
The noise is caused by the same thing that causes noise in regular electric trains.
That is, it comes from the huge cooling fans and air compressors that are part of the heavy-duty air cooling system that all electric trains need to have to not overheat their working components.
Second thoughts on this would be if Lafarge Concrete would eat up a huge amount of our Rocky Mountains in the process for the infrastructure required!
It's pretty cool ngl
Fantástico
Wow 😲 ❤️
Amazing that it can speed up to the same speed even running backwards !!!
There is no backwards. It’s exactly the same moving in earth direction. It’s amazing!
Wow so nice teknik teqn😢 in there awesome
I LIKE & LOVE SPEED(MEGLEV)TRAIN.
👍📷👌📷
They should have used this technology in Britain instead of building HS2.
It's horrendously expensive and Transrapid went bust. Further, much like the TGV HS2 can interface with the existing rail network.
@@Ravenslofty No it isn't, no they didn't and yes, that is one of its strengths.
@@Ravenslofty The Transrapid did not go bust because of the Transrapid but because of the Deutsche Bahn.
@@bobbwc7011*because of germany and stupid polititians in general.
LUDICROUS SPEED!!!
It's a good thing you were wearing that helmet!
World's fastest train, 430kmhr,in SHANGHAI 😘😘😘.From SHANGHAI central to Pudong airport using World's latest technology Maglev(Hyperloops are under process).

I've a two hour stopover in Shanghai next month on the way to a holiday in Japan, I wonder if it would be worth the risk riding this wonderful machine into the city and back. Anyone tried it?
Holy shit those photos of the cockpit are real?!
No way in hell would I get on that thing.
Chinese people must be proud of their country
They should build it across to hongqiao, that way it’s interconnected airports and also hongqiao Train station
10:15 to 10:28 Those are the shots I wanted to see!
MagLev = Magnetic Levitation.
Or monorail 😉
@@tanf2254 eh?
@@tanf2254 ?
I was expecting the take off!
I didn't have a feel for how fast you were going until you passed the cars on the freeway. They appeared to be stationary.
Even when it's slowing down near the end, the cars still look like they are not moving!
I envy you riding the maglev! 😅😅😅
It would be cool if you could have had a speed indicator along side of the view from the train.
I know, I really wish I had that.
Wow speed
It sounds like the Enterprise from The Original Series accelerating from SOL 1 to SOL 15
xD
Train’s really have horns for a maglev
so fascinating.... why are the menus on the computer screen in english?
Good question!
it’s a shame we don’t have such cool trains here in America every other country has faster trains while we over here with our goofy 110 trains. Here in California though we have Caltrain electric and the high speed rail projects
fixed , smooth with interior
2:47 matrix bug, the aeroplane stick in the midair and not moving.....
We need something similar to this in Canada from west to east! Its high time!
It would be quite perfect for this application, especially since the Transrapid is good when it comes to topography. It can climb gradients of around 10 %, so Vancouver has no mountains to hide behind. Plus the tracks are really low maintenance once they are done properly and all you need is power. So maybe start slow with Quebec-City - Montreal - Ottawa - Toronto... maybe take a short jump to Detroit - Chicago - Minneapolis - and then run for it! Winnipeg - Calgary - Vancouver? One needs to dream...
Good idea but unfortunately would never be possible in the near future considering the astronomical costs that it would take to power the electromagnetic rails, let alone construct the tracks at all. The track shown on the video cost itself cost 1.2 billion dollars alone and is only 30 kilometers of track and costs a fortune to even run on a daily basis
In Canada enough good the diesel train !
Wow
lol, I played the video at 2x speed, it was insane
It looks like future
I live right next to the starting station Longyang Road Station.
That’s awesome!
The fact that these have the same magnetic scream of a normal traction system is beyond me . Despite them not having wheels to use
The control principles are conceptually similar to an AC traction motor. The track is one very long stator.
like 22hi my new friends🖤🖤
Is it so much you go for? Or do you too spicing prawns, and taking it bag? 😉 lol, j/k, bowing you for movie!
Since 2002?why did I always think this is new and the bullet train was the fastest?
2:50 the plane is stopped in the air
Bruh The simulation's broken.
@@gencwertherbruh
Nem percebe que está na China. ..poderia ser o TGV na Europa. ...
I deeply regret having travelled to Shanghai about 5 years ago and not riding this marvel of engineering (no plans to return to Shanghai in the near future but hoping to ride the bullet train in Japan next year/consolation price I guess 😕)
Jesus H Christ... that thing is fast... For the Dutch people: imagine travelling from Amsterdam to Groningen, Amsterdam to Breda / Antwerp / Bruxelles or Amsterdam / Maastricht with this thing...
IMAGINE: nearly 120 meter per second !!!
Thats FUCKIN awesome. I would get baked and ride this thing all day.
This project cost about $32B. I'm not sure any country can easily build it.
This is the cost of the entire project building the maglev, not the process of building the track. China maybe bought the entire project for 38B.
Как же я хоч у прокатнуться на таком поезде
2:00 Motor a 5000 rpm
3:00 Motor a 15000 rpm
4:04 motor a 50000 rpm
Pura ciencia
The stator length is 34 cm so moving at 1/3m/s (about 1km/h, 1.2 to be exact) would give a sound similar to 60rpm. So the freqvency at 430km/h should be equivalent to 21 500 changes per minute. Of cause, if you compare it to a 4 stroke motorcycle engine, it would be twice that.
Coolest train in the world
Flying on the ground.
It sounds like an airplane taking off
its like we are about to take off but we never take off.....
To be honest China is inspiration for India although we have many flights with China, but inspiration can be taken from anyone.
You are anti-national cow mutra is best and ancient culture india is 100 time ahead and better than china atleast we have culture
Imagine watching this train running on top speed in video running in 2x speed 😂😂.
I don't need to imagine it.
by 2100 it will be the norm. sadly humans love to drag their feet in their evolution and would rather go to war instead of evolving the human race.
Why are there only 2 stations!?
Apparently, neither Germany, nor even the massive budget of China, saw this as an economically practical system, so this line was the only one that got built
Play in 2x to get the idea of How Fast Airplane travels.
The thing that bother me about these trains are those ugly fly over infrastructures that the trains travels on, those cement pillar blocks that I imagine stretches thru out the city. It is an eye sore. I think that would be a big consideration if any cities in the world 🌎 would decide to have mag rails 🚈 as form of transportation.
The guideway is much slimmer than conventional high speed rail. It would be interesting to see a large bridge structure for a transrapid style maglev!
Sond like plane flying
