Nowadays, speed records for various vehicles do not last long, because technological progress does not stand still, and new transport appears constantly. However, when it comes to applies to bullet trains with magnetic cushion, records are installed far less often.
In 2003, the Japanese magnetoplane set a world record speeds for trains, accelerating to five hundred and eighty kilometers per hour. Last week in the Land of the Rising Sun, and it was in Yamanashi Prefecture that the tests of a new high-speed the train that managed to beat the achievement of its predecessor ten kilometers per hour.
During the following tests, the train must overcome speed in the size of six hundred kilometers per hour.
It is worth noting that such fantastic train speeds on magnetic cushion is achieved due to the complete lack of contact with rails. The most powerful electromagnets literally carry magnets the air. These trains are not only extremely fast, but also quite safe and relatively silent.
The new Japanese Muggle will begin to oversee between the cities of Fufuki and Uenohara west of the capital. Vehicle speed funds are artificially limited to five hundred kilometers per hour so that avoid some risks. In twelve years the train should to connect Tokyo and Nagoya port with a superfast branch.
Note that in China they are currently engaged in a project designed to let magnetos through vacuum tunnels. In theory, such a train can accelerate to two thousand nine hundred kilometers per hour. FROM at such a crazy speed and planes will not be needed.
