I'm confused. The point of maglev is that it gives you an insanely fast train but it's insanely expensive. If you built a maglev that will only do 100mph then you lose the insanely fast part but keep the insane cost. It's easy to build conventional trains that will do 100mph for *much* less than $40 million per mile so what on earth is the point of a slow maglev?
Maglev tech is pretty old and original. I remember when I was a kid watching a train video in 1995 featuring maglevs. Surprised it's now that America wants it. Japan had them, and lost many in the terrible earthquakes.
"being used commercially in Japan and communist China." republicans fund explosive growth in communist China with jobs outsourced from America. America should be the one with all these firsts, but instead republican businessmen chose to fund explosive growth in communist China instead of in their own country.
The aspect ratio is slightly wrong. I wonder, why don't people care about correctly visualized, non-stretched picture. Well, I guess, they are just visually dull...
Interesting how the maglev technology has been dropped in large part because electric trains can about equal the speed of any theoretical maglev train.
I dont like the maglev idea cos there is no driver, I just hope it doesent become the main form or Rail/Track travel, as a lot of people will be out of work, and we will mose porbably find our self in another resesion cos people wont be able to afford thing.
Well its not idiotic, Im not a moron either, just vdt opinionative. I am telling u, the way things are going, with Computers taking over jobs, for Example ASDA and TESCO in the UK, people are being put out of work, and then unable to find another job, so what happens, they go on benifits, and then the country will loose money again,
No operator on the maglev means more people in the control room. Depends too on what the maglev would be used for, if it's intercity then it would make sense to have a crew on board, but it isn't necessary for inner-city. Rail transit networks like the one in Vancouver never had an operator, no jobs created there, thus no job losses there.
more torque for faster acceleration with a lower top speed would be better for an urban environment the stations wouldn't be that far from each other. :P
the Japaneses version is for LONG DISTANCE HIGH SPEED Travel
OK. The USA rail industry isn't interested in Passanger travel. Currently the USA can't afford any sort of rail development. So who is going to pay for it??.Not Amtrak or private freight movers. Just try and get conventional trains running on exsisting rails (or relayed conventional rails) this just a dream. Even the Germanys that sold the system to China aren't sure if they will get more sales. Also remember the Chinese just love to copy ideas (rip shit off) and larbour is still cheap there
The problem is that they get 95% of the money to develop new technology from US companies importing anything and everything from China. By easing back on trading with China, the USA would have the jobs and money to make our own.
@dycarbon1: What is wrong with China adopting new technology?
JM: They are a brutal communist dictatorship who mass murdered their own people at Tianamen Square....that's whats wrong with it. The real question is, you knew that too...everybody does....so why are you soft peddaling it? Are you a Republican or a Democrat?
Clearly the Americans are as stupid as our mob in Australia when it comes to technology available off the shelf. The Linimo Maglev in Nagoya, Japan is exactly what they are trying to re-invent.
go to bed early, set your alarm clock,,and take that rediculously slow train to work, lol

The french TGV currently hold the world speed record for wheeled trains at over 35 mph-
Im thinking the mag lev is capable of even more.

trade off torque/ speed speed/ torque
more torque for faster acceleration with a lower top speed would be better for an urban environment the stations wouldn't be that far from each other. :P
