      Watching this with hindsight, it appears just ludicrous. "the Transrapid's problem is: the tracks are too expensive. Our suggestion: put the tracks in vacuum tubes, increasing the price even further"
      I sure would have loved to have a transcontinental mag-lev train. But unless someone comes up with a cheaper track design, it stays science fiction.

    Japan just did first Maglev public test on 22nd September 2014, it reached 500 km/h. Congrats!
    The driverless maglev train utilizes a high-tech propulsion system called the “L-Zero” system that first brings the train to a speed of 160 km/hour. Upon reaching 160 km/hour, the train initiates the maglev system and slowly accelerates to 500 km/hour, JR Tokai said.

  • @MegamikazeMoriko
    @MegamikazeMoriko 9 років тому +13

    Pay attention! The Maglev trains do NOT go 3,500km/h, they ONLY go that fast when there is no air resistance, no air. (The description says so as well!)
    But because maglevs work where there is air, their max speed is generally lower then what it is. If I remember, maglev trains go about 500km/h in normal air conditions and air resistance (wind may also effect speed).

    Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a system of train transportation that uses two sets of magnets: one set to repel and push the train up off the track, and another set to move the elevated train ahead, taking advantage of the lack of friction. Along certain "medium-range" routes (usually 320 to 640 km [200 to 400 mi]), maglev can compete favourably with high-speed rail and airplanes.

  • @negara54
    @negara54 8 років тому +7

    There was a British version in the 1960's, tested in Earith Cambridgeshire. It could accelerate to 100mph and to rest again in a mile of track. That was pretty fast in those days. The technology was there but the track design had problems, which is why it was being tested in that fen landscape. However, the Beeching cuts of the late 1960's stopped it in its tracks (pun intended). I believe the original 'locomotive' is on display somewhere near Peterborough.

  • @Bausten
    @Bausten 7 років тому +7

    for everyone saying the TGV is faster at like ~570 km/h, that is when they did the world record attempt, where this train beat it and did around 600 km/h. This video refers to the max service speed, which is a lot less for both trains, and this maglev train is still faster.

    • @MilesBader
      @MilesBader 7 років тому +1

      I think the real issue is that the 574kph TGV was _highly_ modified, as was the track (the catenary was highly over-tensioned IIRC) for the record run. It wouldn't be practical in revenue service.
      The JR maglev on the other hand, did its fastest run in a configuration which is very similar to what they'll use in revenue service.
      One big advantage of maglev is that maintenance issues are easier/cheaper, as there's far less track/catenary/etc wear from operation (doesn't touch track, no catenary) and (especially with JR's tech) the train is more forgiving and so doesn't require the fine track tolerances that steel-wheel HSR does....

    • @MacXpert74
      @MacXpert74 6 років тому +1

      The 'normal' version of the TGV could reach 515 Km/h in earlier tests. But operating it at that speed would not be economical, so the normal speed is limited at around 320 Km/h.

    • @cappuccinoloffler
      @cappuccinoloffler 2 роки тому

      ​@@MacXpert74 definitely wrong, read what Made wrote about it abovethe track was sloping, the track bed was specially reinforced, the locomotive had a special transmission ratio, there were only a few wagons the overhead line had a special contact wire and some more.
      But the best thing is - the track had to be completely renewed afterwards! In regular operation, the trains hardly go more than 250 - 270 km/h and yet, then only a short distance. Super technology.

    It doesn't just sound like science fiction, it is science fiction. The Chinese has the longest commercial system in the world, from downtown Shanghai to Shanghai airport, a distance of 20 miles. They planned to extend it by 200 miles south but at the last minute, changed the project to conventional high-speed rail. No reason given. The technology's been around for over 20 years. There has to be a reason why it's not being used.

      in reality (once again) you're both wrong. a train is just a group of railway cars connected to a locomotive that pulls/pushes them along a rail/track (in this case the track pulls and pushes the whole train at the same time) so a train doesnt need wheels to be considered a train

    The video is completely wrong. JR's maglev uses both attraction and repulsion - and there are no magnets in the track whatsoever.
    The magnets are all in the walls, with 2 rows. The bottom row pushes and pulls the train. The top row pulls the train up slightly, keeping it off the track. The opposing magnets on the side of the train are superconducting and rapidly alternate their polarization.
    When the train reaches 100kmph, the wheels are retracted.
    It's the fastest passenger-capable train in existence.
