This System could travel at 600 km/h (500 km/h routine speed) on a longer track and does not cause noteworthy abrasion. The test-track in Germany is in use since 1983 and nearly 780.000 km run over it and it did not need any reconstruction.
It is ashaming, that germany is not able to build an application track because of this fucking socialistic greenies in german parliament.
Munich need immediately this fast way to the airport! The old S-Bahn takes one hour. The Express-S-Bahn costs the same price and takes more then twice of the time.
Tommorow night they will finally decide, that the next commercial maglev track will be build in Munich/Germany. The extension of the chinese track is also just a question of time.
Ok! Thanks for answering! I was thinking that maybe the speed caused so much air displacement that it would be dangerous for the system to be in a "small" space, like a tunnel.
You would think so but the strength of the electromagnetic field holding the vehicle to the track means that the force required for the vehicle to leave the track would be immense so the displacement of air in the tunnel would not have much effect on the system. This was proved sadly in the crash last year at the test facility, the vehicles collided at top speed it did not leave the track.
Of course, the coolest thing would be a tunnel with a (partial) vacuum. Then you could be faster than a plane easily. But I guess that will not even be considered for at least a few decades :-(.
Ironically, the crash will yield an enormous amount of very beneficial data including stiffness of the chassis, material behavior pre and post crash, heat and friction and last but not least safety/accident procedures and so on. Not that it's ethically correct to cite this so close after the disaster, but I doubt there would ever have been an intentional experimental crash test like for cars. Too expensive!
That is true. A real testament to the design is that the train didn't derail after the impact, if it had derailed many more lives would have been lost. Though the loss of any life is truly tragic
Oh man, thats so sad.. this technologie makes no mistakes.. but human beings do... today people died on this test track. The transrapid crashed by 200 km/h with a mobile repairing wagon, which was on the track..
Yeah no matter how safe the technology can be made there is always that one element that can undermine the whole thing and that is human error. Best we can do is try and learn from these mistakes

yea i know this
we were on holiday in the emsland area and we entered this train to
when we where in he go's 413 km/h
i know he can go faste i think they didnt give it full power
btw we did go in this train before the accident and not after the crash
and i say 1 thing about this ride,,,it was super cool;)

It requires more energy underground. And more space for escaping air. But its possible.

Ok! Thanks for answering! SO it would be possible to build these systems in urban regions!
mtlguy112 4 years ago
yup there are many routes around the world which have already been planned in heavy urban areas, just a matter of money to build them.

actually, this IS being considered in switzerland. it's called swissmetro. but at the moment it seems like it's going to be too expensive.

Hey SpacetCowboy!
Could you upload the one for the Munich Maglev as well? I think that´s the most impressive of them all. I guess you´ve got that Transrapid DVD.
