Japan launches Maglev 'Speedier bullet'

The Maglevs use a strong magnet that motivates the train to quickly move its rails, eliminating metal friction, which is 'successfully faster than a bullet' recently tested in Japan.

The images of the Shinkansen running as fast as a bullet through Mount Fuji symbolized the resurgence of postwar Japan. The Shinkansen was introduced in 1964, just months before the opening of the Tokyo Olympics.

This high-speed train represents all that Japan wants to introduce to the world: a sleek, modern, superior mode of use when engaged in transportation. Researchers say the average annual delay of a Shinkansen train is 36 seconds ... But nearly 50 years have passed, Japan's high-tech wonders are in dire need of a new update for itself. . With the Shinkansen's fastest speed of 320km / h (200mph), some of the old technology has over the decade, Japan is now facing fierce competition not only from the giant ship Europe, France and Germany, as well as the 10,000-mile (6,200-mile) Chinese high speed train running under the world's longest high-speed rail network.

The image of the Maglev being tested in central Japan will shorten the time between Tokyo and Osaka or from New York to DC.

Therefore, Japan has sought a new technology to not lose the pride of being high-speed rail with high-speed trains worth billions of dollars. The answer to Japan's technological challenge lies in the Maglev, which has been successfully tested.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that 'it is really a dream technology'. " Maglevs used a strong magnet, prompting the train to quickly move its rails, eliminating metal friction. is for 'faster than a bullet'. It is known, to ensure record speed train operator, Japan will spend more than 100 billion dollars to build a 286km railway to the distance between Tokyo and Nagoya
