Technology ; This Train Will Break Records Fastest?

by
On rail transport in the world's fastest currently held by China's Shanghai Maglev trains at speeds up to 431 km per hour. Now they have to be ready to compete. Neighboring countries, Japan does not want to lose. The country is preparing to break the shogun world record in the field of railways.

500 miles per hour! This is the dream of Japan creates world's fastest train.Compare with Formula 1 sports car that only a maximum of 412 km per hour.Reporting from Live Science, Japan is starting to build a track for the train. The plan, the fastest train will take passengers from Tokyo to Nagoya in 7 minutes only.

maglev-MLX01, prototype fastest train in the world
Trains in China and Japan could have super speed because it was built with the technology of magnetic levitation (maglev). Before we know more about maglev, decent known fact China has developed the fastest train others.Manufacturing started in the year 2010, electric trains have predicted CRH380A name can reach speeds of 302 miles per hour, or the equivalent of 486 miles per hour. Despite the fact that during operation, CRH380A will only reach a maximum speed of around 236 miles per hour, or about 380 miles per hour.

Before China was so thunderous develop fast trains, is actually in the Guinness World Records, the fastest electric trains is held by L0 prototype Maglev trains made in Japan, JR-Maglev MLX01. When tested in 2003, the maximum rate reached 361 miles per hour, or the equivalent of 581 miles per hour.

In the second position, perch train that has the name of the French TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse). The trains have a maximum speed of 357.2 miles per hour, or about 574.9 km per hour.

Maglev train
Maglev, the acronym of magnetically levitated trains that translation is freely floating rail magnetically, or we simply call the magnet train. The principle of this train is to utilize magnetic lift force on the rails so that the lifted slightly upward, then thrust generated by an induction motor.

Maglev trains float above approximately 10mm magnetic tracks. Thrust forward through the interaction between the magnetic rail with the induction machine also produces a magnetic field inside the train.

So, what are the positives and negatives maglev technology? The main advantages of this train is its ability to float above the rail, so as to avoid friction. Consequently, theoretically there will be no replacement rail or train wheels because no one will ever wear out (maintenance costs can be saved).Other side benefits is no frictional resistance force. The air resistance force is certainly still there. For the more developed Maglev Trains are more aerodynamic.

Due to the shape and speed of the train were fantastic, the noise (noise) generated when the train is moving about the same as a jet plane, and in the account is more intrusive than conventional trains. A study proves the sound generated by the train meglev with conventional trains more about 5dB noise is 78% of it. Another shortcoming is the train on the rails procurement especially costly investment.

So, when the current is applied in Indonesia would have to build a special line.Example, distance from Jakarta – Surabaya approximately 700 km when using Maglev train less than 2 hours. But along the current path is through settlement. Besides dangerous in the event of an accident, his voice is as loud as a jet certainly very disturbing. Because of that, we just had a dream just now, yeah …
