China has yet struck another superlative, to build the fastest train on Earth. China has the biggest hydroelectric dam, the longest sea-bay bridge, the highest railway running to Tibet, and the biggest stadium nicknamed the "birdnest".

With German technology, joint venture between Siemens and China Northern Locomotive and Rolling Stock Ind. Corp. It is faster than the French TGV and the Japanese Shinkansen Bullet Train, the N700 at speed of 186 mph.

To show you just how fast is the new magnetic levitation train, we have to borrow the video of the TGV during the test runs, embedded below for your view.

Great job from China. Nowadays time is money.  Really I am getting tired to travel with train near 14 hours.  specially when you have sleeping ticket and babies until morning crying beside you......


Do you know how much is the cost of one ticket  for this high speed train?

Quoting from [Street Smart]:RM68 will be at USD10 for 1st class and RMB58 will be at about USD9 for second cl *.

For a trip from Shanghai to Hangzhou? That's really cheap, considering the distance. - Would like to  have a similar communication from Mexico to China!

Quoting from [Street Smart]:Grandpa, tell us what is the principle of the high speed train, nicknamed the bullet train. Do they have the electric motors, running on stator and rotor, rotation or the Linear displacement electric propulsion system?

There you are getting me into quick sand! (the more I move to defend myself, the more I'll go down). My impression is that only the Maglev (magnetic levitation) trains use linear motors, but I'm not sure.

...so you could say that in a linear motor like the Maglev, the train plays a role equivalent to the stator in the traditional rotary motor (it is in itself the moving part).

Grandpa,

It is not quicksand, it is the bright shining light, or the flames of test, as you may call it.

The flames will burn out all the hay, wood and stubbles, but will not burn out gold, only leave it behind to shine, that is what you read from the book of James in the Bible.

It shows that you are the real stuff, how I am impressed by your intellect. Your modesty reflects your intelligence, guess you must be working as a Researcher sometime in the past.

Sometime ago, we shared about Super Conductivity. That has to do with electricity, passing through a media with absolute zero resistance. We also discussed about the trend set several years ago about the discovery of super conductivity at higher temperatures. The first discovery is super conductivity in liquid Helium, and that is at near absolute zero degree Kelvin. The "gold-rush" for Researchers began, and claims of higher temperatures by using materials for such phenomenon. But now, all these has gone underground again, as the media lost interest in this discovery, and we came to a material called neobium-titanium alloy.

Then you may ask: why superconductivity? What does this has to do with Maglev? Plenty, because you can float a magnet on this principle, and you can also make things float on the magnetic fields of the Earth's. You can build a flying saucer, a space craft working on magnetic levitation, and navigating by the Magnetic mapping only, from one location to another. that is your answer to the UFO.

Street,

I'm not too sure of that "World's biggest stadium" bit...


I believe Uwe has a bigger stadium in his own country - capacity-wise at least  - the Azteca in Mexico city. And don't forget the Maracana in Brazil. Also one stadium in Iran that's supposed

to seat over 100K people !


My 2 cents :)
