Timosha21 | Magnetic Levitation Train in Shanghai - 8 minutes Instead of an Hour Drive?? - Maglev @timosha21 | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 22 hours ago.
Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a system of train transportation that uses two sets of electromagnets: 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. Such trains rise approximately 10 centimeters (4 in) off the track. There are both high-speed, intercity maglev systems (over 400 kilometers per hour or 250 miles per hour), and low-speed, urban maglev systems (80–200 kilometers per hour or 50–124 miles per hour) under development and being built. The Shanghai maglev train is the only maglev train in commercial operation that can be considered as high speed.
The Shanghai maglev train, also known as the Shanghai Transrapid, has a top speed of 430 kilometres per hour (270 mph). The line is the fastest operational high-speed maglev train, connecting Shanghai Pudong International Airport and the outskirts of central Pudong, Shanghai. It covers a distance of 30.5 kilometres (19 mi) in just over 8 minutes. The launch in 2002 generated wide public interest and media attention in maglev for the first time ~Wikipedia
The drive with traffic from the airport to the center may take up to an hour while this ride is only 8 minutes! Check out the full ride in this video!
