Japan Unveils World’s Fastest Levitating Train
Japan unveils a prototype Maglev Train this week, designed to reach top speed of 500 Km/h (310 Mp/h) by using magnetic levitation. The train is operated by the Central Japan Railway Company and Railway Technical Research Institute. Maglev trains operate via magnetic levitation. Powerful electromagnets are used to propel the train along its track, making the… Continue reading Japan Unveils World’s Fastest Levitating Train
