Japan has always attracted world attention with its technical advances, including the creation of superhigh-speed trains that were also very comfortable for passengers and complete safety for the environment.
Why exactly the invisible train?
It’s known that such high-speed trains create a lot of noise, therefore, at some point in the development of such a railway Japanese engineers worked to solve this particular pressing issue. However, judging by today’s developments, the Japanese went even further. It’s clear that even yesterday they smoked half-sky open-hearth furnaces were perceived by the inhabitants of the planet as pride and making progress (remember Soviet films), but with time, people began to understand more and more – the main beauty of the world lies in its naturalness and environmental cleanliness.
Probably, starting from this, the architect of the new Japanese high-speed train Kazuo Sejima decided to make it a kind of invisibility. He covered the composition with a mirror coating, thanks to what the train merges with the environment and practically does not visible from the side. If you compare it with modern Japanese trains, sometimes very bright and challenging, the invisible train, silent and inconspicuous, besides very fast, will a real environmental highlight in the rail transport Land of the Rising Sun. The designer of the new train took care and that this new product not only pleases the eye from the side (according at least not annoying), but it was also modern passengers themselves. Super comfortable coupes will be equipped for them, commensurate with the rooms of the best hotels.
The future is with invisible trains
It is planned that mass production is comfortable and environmentally friendly. unrivaled invisible trains will begin in a couple of years, however, the first ones will soon begin to run along the lines Red Arrows. And since these railway lines run along the territory of almost all of Japan, it will quickly demonstrate how much such formulations will become popular.
The author of the project, Kazuo Sedzhima, is sure that his brainchild like compatriots, and not only them, but because invisible trains will eventually supplant conventional trains, and not only in Japan, but throughout the world. After all, people enjoy seeing clean, without any equipment, fields, meadows, forests, transparent reservoirs, how with great pleasure they are now looking at the blue sky, not smoked by pipes of factories, plants, thermal power plants and other enterprises our wretched technological progress. No coincidence, says Kazuo, in countries where there is a lot of vegetation, for example, in Russia, always green trains were used, even if this was done for the purpose of military security, although in terms of Ecology, it was becoming a plus. Mirror trains are another step towards nature, and, I think, over time, he will be appreciated in many countries of the world.
