The train that never stops at a station

No time is wasted. The bullet train is moving all the time. If there are 30 stations between Beijing and Guangzhou , just stopping and accelerating again at each station will waste both energy and time.

A mere 5 min stop per station (elderly passengers cannot be hurried) will result in a total loss of 5 min x 30 stations or 2.5 hours of train journey time!

How it works (view the movie - in mandarin though!):

but there are people who want to go down in different stations? what would they do...just switch between the vagons?? at that speed?

i suggest u read the description completely....

Come on people. It's not about saving time. Don't u study energy courses in ur BS? It's about saving a huge amount of fuel. Train is heavy like crazy. Each time u start accelerating, u need a huge amount of energy. In this way, u save all that. Remember regenerative braking in hybrid cars. This is far more superior.

You are right, Youtube is not a Chinese produce, although Chen was in the position of Chief Technology Officer in that group. Many Chinese doing well in the US, if they were in China, career dead, the US givea them the edu. and opportunities., the CCP knows that the US is the best friend - under the table.

Actually there were three guys; all of whom have resided in the USA for more than half of their lives and undertook tertiary education in USA. It is not a Chinese product.

Here we are talking about the technology, not politics, for example, from Guangzhou to Beijing(2500 KM), there are about 5 big stations where the bullet train can make a full stop, but for other some 30 small stations, using this technology is a great idea to pick up small amount of people in each small station without having to stop the train, saving big energy and time. Currently, the bullet train does not stop on there small station, making it hard for nearby people to use the bullet train.

I'm sorry. Rather than worry about the technology to China, it was words from distrust of government.

If an accident occurs in the high-speed rail.

Communist Party of China might end up filling it. It's horrible.

"Chinese anger over alleged cover-up of high-speed rail crash

Monday 23 July 2011" I was shocked that day.

China launches 'America the Beautiful' , if China can do the docking on the space, then, bullet train docking is not a problem technically speaking, the only question is when China wants to spend big money on this new project. Then, China can teach Japan how to do the docking either on the ground or on the space.

better not to use Youtube -- made possible by a Chinese guy.

[Rusalka Schwägerin]

I want to ride If Japan to develop.

I do not want to ride if made ​​in China.

The train that couldn't slow down.

Can't it be both?
