Thats an experience I'd prefer so you can see the scenery and hear the tjuff tjuff tjuff from the steem pushing the train forward, but high speed trains would be good for longdistance travel so I like both :)

random fun times i especially like the ones that smell like piss and are full of bogans. Good slow and toot toot of a travel.

Where, Dylan? Except as mobile museum pieces, AFAIK there are no steam locos on any railways in Oz any more. But when trains like the 3801 run, they create enormous public interest.

shomolya damn right its not, nothing wrong with the lovely graffiti smashed up trains we have though ;)!

Considering they got built by prisoners for free it would be easy to replace them as no money is needed to make back off the old steam trains

cheaper to build for sure.

+Andrew B It would not necessarily be faster, but certainly more feasible ;-) 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.

+Felix Rothe ip

I don’t know when you posted this but finally someone who actually knows what they are talking about, I’d get it it the creator meant 350kmh but come on the current record is only 602kmh

@@FireHawk9463 yeah

That's what I almost keep thinking. But it's possible in theory at least. Maybe technological advances might change that in future years?

+RipleySawzen It's not only theory, watch the Hyperloop project from Elon Musk

+John Strutz not for long ! Some test will begin this year

All you need is a vacuum tube around the tracks.

is it economically feasible? Absolutely not.

No. The first commercial magnetic train is in shanghai China. The video said shanghai, Japan which is hilarious.

@@maxwilliams5941 the Train in Shanghai is from Germany they just bought it

@@maxwilliams5941 No first Maglev train was build in Germany. Read about Emsland test facility

Haha of course

@@maxwilliams5941 What research? It was build in Germany!!!! Is it soo hard to understand!?. EUROPE not ASIA

Pretty much only because there are so many conventional railways built already that it is financially unreasonable to make a separate one for a new train or two.

@@cornemouton2740 Thank you. Excellent video!

The fathers of all nowadays in use maglev systems are: Hermann Kemper, Hans Georg Raschbichler, G. Steinmetz. They founded the basis of what is since the 1970´s called Transrapid. A system that is currently only in China in use since 2003, known as Shanghai SMT, the vehicles and the technology is made in Germany.

;D

Hell yeah! Nothing is faster than Thomas the dank engine!

The little engine that could is faster and you know it!!

How is covid-19 treating you?

@@jeaniebee. Compared to others, my family has not suffered much due to covid. Work is still going and my close family has not gotten infected. The biggest downside for me is taking online university. I feel like I don't learn well enough and lack motivation. How about you?

@@joserodrigo5595 Wow, I didn't expect you to answer. My family was one of the few families that took the pandemic very seriously, I've spent the last year being stuck in my house only going out when absolutely necessary. Yet my mother has tested positive for Covid-19 so I might have it, which is upsetting. I've been doing online schooling for the past year too. I relate to feeling unmotivated recently. I got straight-As first semester but recently I've been questioning if it is worth it to sacrifice my mental and physical health plus my social life for grades. What do you think? Also sorry for sharing so much but I haven't spoken to anyone about this. :/

@@jeaniebee. No problem, everyone has the need to say what is on their minds sometimes. I would say that right now, there is not much social life that you can get engaged on. I personally do not have many friends but I talk to the ones I have almost everyday and go out with them once in a few months (With safety precautions of course). I don't know what the situation is like where you live, but I think it's ok to go out once in a while and clear your mind. This situation is something we must push through and we might get depressed or feel lonely, but there are ways to mitigate it. As for your mother being infected, please take care and isolate yourselves for the time being. I wish the best for you.

@@joserodrigo5595 Thanks for replying so quickly. I can tell that you're a nice person and easy to talk to, which makes an ideal friend. As life goes on I wish you the best. I'm glad that I happened to reply to your comment :)

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....

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.

​@@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.

how would it stop?

Henry James ...With magnets...

Henry James I guess I might have misunderstood the question. Were you asking about how it could decelerate from 3500km/h with a reasonable stop length? Because that I don't know.

You mean God?

+King Alejandro Thank you!

Vimanyu Veer It's funny, because you're a woman :D

SomaliGapteeni Yes I agree, Sweden is definitely better than shit Norway which also has a King who looks like a toad

***** Why is Sweden better than Norway?

***** And Norway doens't have developed technology?

***** You're right, Sweden is more technologically advanced than norway. But if you look at any list of the most developed countries, Norway is overall #1.

Shure, the guy, who invented that train, had this idea in the 1930th!!!!!

Delion Broderick I thought of inventing the wheel before I knew the wheel existed

I once swam the English Channel completely underwater but nobody believes me because - well - I was underwater.

sorry for responding too late i just got the video recommended it is cause we can t create perfect vaccums since the best we reached is 100 atoms in a square meter and even is a perfect vaccum it wont be able to go over some speeds cause that needs more power

Vehicles in a vacuum tunnel move 3 times faster. So if it can do 1,166kph then it can do 3500kph. I suppose the closest to this would be the Hyperloop.

@@f-22r There is no theoretical maximum in a straight tunnel, pure vacuum and maglev.

And now when u are 20,someone else made it and u still talking about that u talk that in past. Need to walk the talk buddy.

Zoozoo Mall well I was a child in a middle class family, couldn't really do much. Other venues now tho.

Good for you but in 1987 the 6th version of the Transrapid reached 392 km/h on a test track.

Me too ;)

***** boohoo, my inferior mind of a 11 year old was not aware of that. I wish however I stuck with Science/Engineering since that young age. My teachers were awful and my interest in Science simply dropped until I discovered some amazing people on KZfaq at the age of 16/17 (Jason Silva, Neil deGrasse, Michio Kaku, Jacque Fresco, AsapScience, Vsauce etc)...

Callum Baxter

YES! I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS! THANK YOU :D

Was thinking that myself, it's the voice that gives it away lol

I was also looking for this comment it's rimmed from Red dwarf

I just converted it to MPH & it turns out to be 2174.79917 Mile/Hour LOL

Wise comment , hahahahahaha

where do i sign up to watch this when it is done?

So wrong - dropping it through the atmosphere wouldnt even reach the 500 kph as air is whats stopping it the most (the motor forward forces can already be bigger than gravity), you need vacuum to reach bigger speeds..

O Drop começou lá atrás com Estórias ele deu o GOP .

They also need to think about the wildlife living near such tracks in my book, with how animals often have greater hearing and perceptive capabilities than humans!!!!!!!

Tobias Chance That's what she said!

...in a vacuum. We live in a pea soup of air. Removing it makes a HUGE difference.

Jason Axford In a vacuum a Fiat Multipla could reach upwards of 3500mph if you adjust the transmission. I don't believe they are actually working on vacuum tube tracks. The regular magnetic trains are already absurdly expensive.

IsawUupThere I doubt the components would be made to tolerances capable of preventing a catastrophic failure. Apart from that, nothing unknown is in your comment.

I'd imagine only a small portion of the worlds population can handle going over 2000kph let alone 3500kph.

We're currently going at 514.000mph around the centre of the galaxy. We seem to be handling it just fine.

@Green Pudding watch the video

meh, it's lying it's only 500-600 km/h

he was saying it would be possible if they built vacum tunels

If its in a vacuum it is actually possible, theres no stopping force (no resistance) and considering air is the only resistant force on a Maglev, (just like in space) such speeds could 'potentially' be achieved

G-Force could make very significant impact on passengers :)

Long banked curves......or imagine the G's

***** No problem! :D

I just saw this video, and although I want to see the advancement of this technology, all I could think of is Rimmer.

Smeg!

Melo Boy No, Smeghead.

You're right, i don't speak good english . Sorry

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

this could be a solution for people like me who don't like airplanes

Darius just wants everyone to know he's a troll.

Originally, a train is a transportation machine with rolling wheels on rails, with the arrival of new inventions like., the term has been adapted and expanded.

km not kl. kilometer, not kiloliter.

It is impossible.

Wasn’t wondering, thank you captain conversion.

What is this in yard-ounces per Gallon-Fahrenheit?

+ThingsDemystified They probably have a system where if the track fails, then the train pullds down to a stop.

rusins I wonder how long it would take a train going that fast to stop.

+ThingsDemystified It's made in German. Not China.

DM I hope it's more reliable than a BMW or Mercedes!

+ThingsDemystified well they can actually stop instantely it's not a brake system actualy they can just start reversing the magnetic force and it will stop in a really short time

ik thats for it to not derail

Wheels !!!????

Make the vacuum tube out of very thick plastic and have the train in underground tunnels.

A vacuum doesn't produce sonic boom pal.

If the glass breaks there is no vacuum

Do you think there are a lot of birds in a vacuum tube?

Andrew Bateman Glass breaks because of sonic boom. No sonic boom no breaking of glass. Understand? Who said glass will be used?

Because maglev train have just air fiction !

Nice joke

The first maglev that ran on high speed again was the German Transrapid 06 in 1988 with already 412km/h. The predecessor Transrapid 07 reached 450km/h in 1993. The Transrapid 08 then, up until today in service as Shanghai SMT, reached 501km/h in 2003.

guys none of you watched the full video

coming soon in Japan

its not possible! trains definate path to control the magnetic floe roads dont!! more life loss!!

***** I have in my ankle TT_TT

GG PEOPLES WITH METAL PROSTHETIC LEGS

1974 to be exact, on Larry King show. We could have built vacuum maglev trains that would achieve speeds of 2000 miles per hour back then. Today, ET3 has touted speeds of 4000 miles per hour (as this system would use capsules in vacuum tubes as opposed to actual full sized trains) - which in turn lowers the amount of resources needed to build everything

bloodybleeder thanks

Dženan Google "linear induction motor".

It is very easy to stop it, just inverse polarity and there will be much more force in reverse so it decelerate. From Dakar Senegal thank you

With the very same principle like a normal electric motor. Imagine the train as the rotating axis of the motor. Now cut the outer static part of the motor somewhere and put it straight on the ground. Instead of rotating the train is moving now on the static part. I learnt this basic principle as a child on a German school 28 years ago.

Passengers are encouraged to fart to provide the necessary propulsion.

Yeah, almost 3 times the speed of sound in air!

So a train performing a sonic boom?

VitoTheo Don’t think there is a sonic boom without air. Just as there is no sonic boom while travelling though Space.
