Fastest Train in the World: 581km/h. Japan JR-Maglev

[renjithv999]

really fastest..........

[rikoichsan]

F1 and motogp will cry... sure,,,

[RecklessTornado]

we need maglevs in america!

[shane8109]

That's one fast train

[FadzyKamaruddin]

ready for broken mobile phones, watches, etc..lol

[w0ttheh3ll]

electric power is way too cheap in japan ...

[Lowlightindicator]

Damn....that's not a train it's a plane on tracks. Nice

[kalifornika]

monorail-dude went to japan =)

[bonsema1]

looks like Siemens vs Alsthom.

I would put my money on Siemens because steel wheels on steel rails in the end is a dead end. I travelled on the Siemens in Shanghai at 300 kph ! 20 min travel time for 25 E approx.

[igoy30]

AMAZING TRAIN Shinkansen!!! (˘▿˘ʃƪ)

[gouthamkrishnaa]

When Compared to India's 110KMPH & 150KMPH this is Phewwwwwwwwww Just a Blow!!

[bonsema1]

I´m not saying this is a mickey mouse system but the frenchies do approx the same speed ( 574 kph ) on rails.

[52111centrumcz]

@bonsema1

the problem will be reliability - either you wreck the rails or the train doesn't last. Magnetic propulsion means long term stability. The question is the price and maintanance cost of the magnetic system.

[Basti6814]

@52111centrumcz Yes, it´s from Siemens

[Camster3]

only 310 MP/h in operation

[funnyuday]

This is nothing fast compared to Nepalese train that runs at max speed of 10km/hr.

[moya138]

no its not compared to ours this is slow.

[MrDrums76]

thats just too much. let one of them bitches crash and you'll find body parts in russia.

[arvindbd]

240p, we meet again!

[henrikaize]

jap steal this technology from america ?

[Yumadbro91]

@henrikaize its the other way around.

[bahamut6667]

@henrikaize japan is the best tech nation in the world they been trying this for ages but they had troubles with the magnets or something

[arvindbd]

@henrikaize no, the americans can't think of something as awesome as this, only the Japanese my friend.

[DSchruteBeets]

@arvindbd Actually Maglev test systems were originally patented in the US in the 40's NY had a test system in the late 60's and then Germany and the UK pioneered commercial maglev. The reason it never caught on was that outside of the megaloplis of the north Atlantic e.g. Boston, NY, Washington, Philadelphia, and to some degree Atlanta most major American cities were dispersed more widely and it was hard to argue for the fixed nature of maglev when commercial aircraft could do the job cheaper.

[DSchruteBeets]

@DSchruteBeets Additionally our highway systems were far better and owning a car was and still is far cheaper in the US than in Europe or Japan.

[GP49PHS]

so, why don't they just buy the French train :it goes practically the same speed and they dont have to pay for a new rail line AND there are no magnets involved :) plus how would you freakin stop it?

[cheirotonus]

@GP49PHS

Conventional trains cannot carry out commercial service at speed of 500km/h.

It is because the repair frequency of rails and overhead wires becomes high too much and does not pay.

This is one of the reasons the operating speed of French TGV is restricted to 320km/h.

Plus, this train uses magnetic power for slowdown and stop.

Moreover, air brakes for emergencies are also equipped.

[GP49PHS]

@cheirotonus pretty god point :)

[88fierogtp]

Who, exactly, decides what the value of "jaw-dropping" speed is?

[lolicanadian]

ehh, no friction. except for air.

[yaxattax0]

The TGV cheated to get its record anyway ... it accelerated down an incline

[ViietML]

@PTPShow ur stubborn just accept facts, how can u say japanese maglev its a "shit scrap train" when its faster than TGV, it's TGV is a good train and was the " fastest" now it's not, it's second fastest train fact, period, Fullstop.. it's like saying because japans maglev is faster, ur train is shit now when it's a really good train? and maglev is train!

[JayStyl3sz]

@ViietML LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[ViietML]

@JayStyl3sz LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! this is what i do when im really bored! at 3am in the morning LOL

[thequeen444]

el yaabany yabanay!!!

[Thepro98]

its like 2 bilions of light year to stop?

[cheirotonus]

@PTPShow

OK boy. I understand your inclination.

I also like TGV, but the fact that 'it is the second fastest train' does not change.

[THIRT33THR33]

"Only 310 MPH". Geez, that's gonna add 1.6 minutes to my commute time to downtown. Forget it, I'll buy a jet instead! lol.

[442hoeky]

@THIRT33THR33 I noticed that too, but I think he made a mistake. He meant to say 310 KM/H, not mph - because he followed it by saying "about twice what north american trains do", but the fastest NA trains are about 100mph (160 km/h).

[cheirotonus]

@PTPShow

This train has set a world record of 581 km/h in 2003 (Guinness Book of Records authenticated).

TGV is the fastest 'conventional' train in the world.

In other words, TGV is the 'second' fastest train in the world.

[slow758]

Daily Planet :)

[mitterdoo]

Dear Valve...

[UraeusAnkhAmon]

Technically it's not a train, as it doesn't run on rails*.

*Rails that are universal standard

[goegemeente]

All do respect, but in my opinion, i don't call this a Train.

A real Train rides on steel tracks railway,

and don't need anything to hold on to the track.

This vehicle (that's how i call it) does hold on to the tracks, when it's gaining speed, and finally starts levitating, it must have something to hold on.

TGV that's a real Train, speeding up to almost 600 KM H, without any lift or whatever.

That's a real Train.......here i said it.

Sorry with all do respect.

[sjoperdje]

@goegemeente quote "A train is a connected series of vehicles for rail transport that move along a track (permanent way) to transport cargo or passengers from one place to another place. The track usually consists of two rails, but might also be a monorail or maglev guideway." Unquote. So yes, it is a train.

[goegemeente]

@sjoperdje Ok i respect your opinion.

But what about the sound?.....kedeng kedeng hahaha

[ViietML]

@goegemeente why say "almost" 600kmh its top speed is 574km/h end off. how can u say it's not a train it run on wheel for the first 1minutes and then wheel is rejected into train and runs on magnet and plus everything evolves it doesn't mean it nots a train?

it's like saying original planes used turbines on the front, then it phased where they considered the aerodynamics and changed it, it still a plane but improved "plane" . jet "PLANE" a railway "train" now a maglev "Train"

[meranokia7210]

the fastest train launched by japan....... soooooooo it's rock

[Aminkhan786]

And thats why i want to become an engineer :)

[shredBucketheadshred]

maglev was easy gerwalk and batroid's the real bitch

[TerranRepublic]

I wish the United States would get its act together and start upgrading our infrastructure to support trains like this. I live 6 hours away from home at my college, and I love to get home in around an hour instead for around fifteen dollars occasionally on the weekend.

[EndlessChris]

@TerranRepublic That's the price to pay for the world's biggest military. I doubt the US will be able to get bullet trains considering the country is broke.

[TheMrBlinx]

Soon, they'll make one so fast that it will arive at the next station before it leaves the last one. It'll be so fast that, when it arrives, all the people will be gone because they vanished into the future.

[ByPLU7O]

ONLY 310 MPH LOL

[19Travis98]

id like to play "doge the train" with that :3

[stevenmarkgalway]

There is still is friction from the air slowing it down.

[mainchow10]

@stevenmarkgalway 150,000 newtons per square meter

[stevenmarkgalway]

@mainchow10 Incredible

[mainchow10]

@stevenmarkgalway I took physics. 1/2 x density x speed of fluid x speed of fluid

Yes, air is a fluid.

[mainchow10]

@stevenmarkgalway It may be incredible, but that's nothing to the train.

[Vendeteran]

161km every second! Damn

[mainchow10]

@Vendeteran you mean 161 m/s

[dashish80]

Is this the same country which the bloody Americans nuked years ago?

[Magnesiumize]

if you look very closely you can see chuck norris pushing it

[milktray9999]

will it effect the earths gravitation? imagine if every country had one.  its a pull, a magnetic pull...isnt gravity the same in a context.

[john25992]

@milktray9999 Nope. You would be more concerned about the things nearby the railway. Plus, gravity is the attraction of mass. Whereas magnetism is the attraction of a moving charged particle (whatever that particle may be). An MRI machine has a huge magnetic field in comparison - one that has to be guarded or else cars moving near by outside may be pulled in by the MRI machine inside the hospital haha The Earth has a magnetic field of 0.5 gauss but an MRI has between 5000 - 30000 gauss!

[milktray9999]

@john25992 ok thnx u must be a scientist lol. yes imagine all the cars near the hospital being pulled in lol. maybe they should put a sheild around the track to stop the magnets pulling the car. :S:S

[john25992]

@milktray9999 No problem. And no, I am not a scientist :( haha But I am studying for a degree in Engineering so it's quite close!

And yeah, they do guard them from the outside with shields such thick walls and stuff like that. Clever stuff! Imagine driving past a hospital and suddenly flying into the wall next to you haha Some Jedi voodoo going on! lol

[milktray9999]

it will be better for the economy and the earth.

[D2inou]

fast train in the world on magetic levitation , but not in the raiload !!

[kite973]

I miss Jay Ingram.

[samsungwaverocks]

Tentacle porn at 581km/h

[MrDeamon1]

Hey Jay!! America and Libya, come to the Celsius darkside

[20PINKluvr]

i bet the japanese are telling the french to suck it with this beast

[bedfordcrusader]

and if you need to stop because something is on the line?

[danerstylezzz]

thats not train thats a maglev ...

[cadmus98]

Sacre bleu!

The French won't stand for this, surely.

[gethsoftware]

once we go supraconductors these trains will be redecilysly cheap and energy efficient. then you can use them like buss. cars will be usless.

[Hatchwork]

@gethsoftware Why would you use a 500km/h train for a bus that stops every few minutes.

[spike378]

@Hatchwork stop thinking in american terms and think in asian terms. This train is meant for city to city usage eliminating air travel

[Hatchwork]

@spike378 I was responding to the guy talking to the guy who was saying we should replace buses with this.. I was assuming most people who took long haul bus rides would take a plane.

[wow9490]

i want to move to japan. japan has everything, BIIIG city, pokemon, fas cars, fast trains, tall buildings and beautiful nature ( plus earthquakes and tsunami...)

[RS42434]

@wow9490

When you come to Japan, bring a Surfboard at any cost.

An earthquake is useful for body workout.(Bcs no fat people in Japan. Except a sumo wrestler )

And you will see at the cat which disguised itself as Pokemon by radioactivity in Japan.

[GorisPieter]

I wonder what that bug on the windshield his last thoughts were

[TheMrBlinx]

@GorisPieter The last thing that goes through a bug's mind when it hits a windshield is it's rectum.

[UFOR4Slardar]

@GorisPieter nothing? :P

[anapeg100]

@GorisPieter ; The last thing to go through the bugs mind was his arse hole.

[SittingMooseShaman]

@GorisPieter ..."...bz bzz buzz-zz. Bizz zazz-zz zzizz! Bz-booze?! Bwa..."

[994206]

As usual we invent something brilliant & someone else does it !

[MCMCsimulation]

@994206 The world has been steeling ideas from the British for a millennium.

[LoveMyPeople04]

@MCMCsimulation

man fuck gotta here yooooo......ive always noitce every time some country is doing somthing great, so stupid ass fucked up teeth british dude tries to start shit.... go fucking drink some tea...dumb add

[MCMCsimulation]

@LoveMyPeople04 I'm not British, but I do like tea.

[LoveMyPeople04]

@MCMCsimulation

lol

[iloveamericans1]

@LoveMyPeople04 Because Brits and Americans hate each other most,I see it on here a lot.

[spike378]

@MCMCsimulation "steeling"? I wouldnt steal that. Doesnt sound like British have good quality

[bstyle88]

In Shanghai, China, there is already a magnetic train in service, but not the japanese but the (original) german system "Transrapid".

[Frenchchevelle66]

A real train all over the world run on metal line with electric line upper the train...THIS IS THE REALLY BEST WORLD RECCORD AND THE REALLY PERFORMANCE TO GET on a fast train...RUN a train at 574,8 Km/H with these conditions (keep the train on the metal rail, keep the tension with 25 000 volts, OPEN YOURS EYES....Magnetic levitation train is a nice teknology but NO COMPARE With a FRENCH TGV TRAIN who transport every days thousons of people with fiability and succes for 20 years.

[Frenchchevelle66]

More expensive, much difficulty to create line, less passagers in train, restriction tecknology.....FRENCH TGV IS A BEST TRAIN on all points....16 wagons, 2000 people can travel on theses 16 wagons (on only one complete train) at 320 km/H every days on the years, run 20 000 kms in FRANCE every days for 20 years, french TGV Teknology exported on différent country like deutchland, spain, belguim...FRENCH TGV can run on classics line or fast tgv line

[kmckoy13]

time to convert units dot com  :-/

[djomercohen]

faster trains = cheaper flight tickets :)

[Kidrockcia]

Well i must say if that train got into some kind of wreck it be a fast death don't think you would even see it coming... fact is if its made my man it will brake...

[MrBlaisejohnny]

damn that looks sexy.

[marvel85able]

AMERICA WHY YOU NO MAGLEV.

[Mandragara]

@marvel85able America has heaps of debt

[TheDutchPathFinder]

@marvel85able because america not have enough money.because they spend money on stupid wars in other countrys.

[alexzhu1]

@marvel85able BECAUSE WE WAR INSTEAD

[HighrockTendales]

dis is fuckin shiiyt. an electrocuit train done abawt six hundreds miles mph. it mayk a sonnik boom dat u can here for a 100 miyles. dis train is shit slowe.

[TheTrueJBV3737]

better hope no cows walk onto the track.

[Chris58851]

@TheTrueJBV3737 The train will run on elevated rails. How does cows climb up to there? Supercows?

[TheTrueJBV3737]

@Chris58851 Well i guess the cows would pretect themselves then, with lazers and kung fu.

[MynameisElliott]

Japanese are fricking awesome!

[pauLjOycE1822]

JAPAN WAS REALLY AWESOME in terms of TECHNOLOGIES (:

[pauLjOycE1822]

@pauLjOycE1822 I've been there in JAPAN last 2001 & I've witnessed how their bullet train SHINKANSEN run so QUICKLY! It was really AMAZING.. (^^.)

[Chris58851]

@pauLjOycE1822 The most amazing things i saw was their toilets. Even in Shinkansen.

[WizardmasterNZ]

Hard to say....Japan's maglev are more cost because They made a two side (bottom and wall magnet) so...than Germany's design much low cost. just underground magnet. Germany team are very clever design and low power and fastest. Today, China are active transport a Germany Maglev are successfully.

[KapitanSztama]

And a ticket costs for this??? like 10tons of petrol?

[ampthilluk]

@KapitanSztama lol petrol. have you heard of electricity?

[KapitanSztama]

@ampthilluk it supos to be sarcastic -.-

[ampthilluk]

@KapitanSztama lol sorry

[Kvasiir]

Ah I wish written had these sorta systems in Australia -.-

[MrDirker]

I just wonder will I see a train's making a sonic boom in my life?

[thanger2]

No Japan, you can't use space rockets as trains!

[kaito0022]

I am Japanese.

China is Japan's only stealing the technology.

This is reality.

You'd be fucked if you got on the wrong train; by the time you'd asked if this train goes to Watford, you'd be in Plymouth!

[bamahacker01]

@1stsmg4 You'd read the sign above the door. If you'd know japaneese... omg your right... :)

[shusternumber1]

@1stsmg4 yeah but then you could just get the maglev back again? :L

[senorelroboto2]

2:05 One of the dumbest statements I've heard in a while. Hurray for perpetual motion train.

[PeshayatBjk]

JAPAN BEST

[MrLazyeyz]

i wish we had a man like tesla on the project,after all he did invent the electric motor as the world now knows it.

[manumdrd]

That is progress, not a new bomb

[Daviysoh]

@skyfiller12 I don't get it. Are you ...OK?

[dsoln]

@danw1374 fuckhead. imperial is dead

[euclid901]

Maglev trains running inside airless tubes should be able to reduce resistance even more, thereby reaching even higher speeds. 

[AbstractChaos666]

1:51 it just fucking disappears...

[abhi16883]

the fastest train in the worl is shakuntala expess.

which has max speed of 20 kmph

hahahahahahahaha.............. lolzzzzz

[tubaSHANK]

What the fuel powered vehicle is to the Horse and Buggy the Maglev is to the fuel powered vehicle.

[EdTheBadass]

I wonder what speeds theoreticalle it could reach, if they built the whole track as a tube and sucked out the air. The only resistance would be gravity

[mlopinto2k1]

@EdTheBadass If the MAGLEV was in a vacuum.. there would be NO resistance.

[EdTheBadass]

@mlopinto2k1

It... could.. GO..  OVER ... 9000 KM/H!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[AntonMLP]

@mlopinto2k1 there would be resistance from light energy....

[schnapperdelahray]

@mlopinto2k1 except wind

[mlopinto2k1]

@schnapperdelahray Yes, tons of wind in a vacuum.

[udcigs]

why cant my commute be on this train?!

[luiseduardo586]

I can count the pixels in this video...

@luiseduardo586 240 along x, and 320 by Y, start counting bitch

[luiseduardo586]

@KrankyBIAS lol you're like Sheldon Cooper, you just can't get sarcasm...af

[KrankyBIAS]

@luiseduardo586 It was pretty shit sarcasm to be honest

[Fiveshotwow]

@luiseduardo586 really? how many are there

[luiseduardo586]

@Fiveshotwow It's just sarcasm for a really bad definition in video buddy....

[Fiveshotwow]

@luiseduardo586 you said you could count them.

[AlJalandhari]

china's started working on vacuum maglev trains that could go 4000mph (ceasefiremagazine. co . uk/features/science-china-trai­­n/ )

Japanese are the best

[GoldieLoc49]

@channark2 japanese have tiny dick

[sadieblooming]

Let's make train with wings. Magnets are expensive, wings are not.

[oavgsgis]

i guess i missed the part where they explain how the train goes forward. if it's levitationg, what's pushing it?

[uhihyigtuuoj]

@oavgsgis repulsion of the magnets

[sermerlin1]

@oavgsgis Magnets... Magnets on the track have 2 uses... Pull and Push. Magnets are pulling the train and then pushing at the same time which makes it go forward and makes it go that fast.

[Antphoneigh]

Not true. Air still causes friction. Still, want!

[jony1710]

@Antphoneigh now all they need to do is remove the air from the tunnel!!! they would go sooo fast!

[MrZaza451]

it runs on magnets?!?!?! trolololololololololo

[detibry]

oh ONLY 310 mph

[nubsniper123]

ive been on it, u catch it when u need to go to one of china's` airports. When you inside people are only interested in the speedometer and not actually looking out lol.

There is still fluid friction....
