Design Fastest Train Japanese Maglev

THSR 700T is a high-speed electric train is lifted from the Japanese Shinkansen models for the Taiwan High Speed ​​Rail (THSR), Speed ​​train reached 335.50 km / h. Flickriver.com

While it has a 'bullet train' Shinkansen, the Japanese apparently did not give up to innovate. Now, the country has been designing Sunrise Magnetic Levitation Train aka Floating Magnet, Compared bullet train, the Maglev train has three differences; speeds, machinist and technology.

Maglev speeds reaching 500 miles per hour. While the bullet train speed is about 350 per hour. Later, ride the Maglev feels like an F1 driver overtaking. With Maglev, distance Yogya-Jakarta can be reached in just over an hour.

Last week, Central Japan Railway Co. aka JR Tokai prototie Maglev train exhibit. This looks like a wagon train Shinkansen, just that, in part machinist no glass. Her nose is longer, and smaller passenger glass. This is to reduce the consumption of glass, which also reduces weight.

As a result, this reduces the power consumption as fuel. Maglev body will use paduaan strong aluminum, carbon-fiber plastics used in aircraft wings. With this material, he achieved the speed can be maximized up to 500 kilometers per hour.

This speed is not operated by the driver. But by the computer at the control center. With normal eyes, almost impossible to see clearly the rail track at speeds of 500 miles per hour. Instead, will be installed in front of the camera to monitor if there is a dangerous object in front of the train. The camera is planted in the 'nose' train.

This train can go fast because it does not 'landed' on the rail. Magnet technology makes it float above the rails. Making it lighter to accelerate Maglev.

But the technology is not cheap. Because it is expensive, these Maglev train type was ignored for decades. The only commercially operated Maglev only in China, which drove a distance of no more than 20 km.

To realize this the fastest Japanese Maglev train, supposedly the government must spend up to U.S. $ 64 billion, or around Rp 600 trillion. Japan itself most quickly to operate in 2027. "We want to improve it before use to the public," said center director Yamanashi test, Yasukazu Endo.
