China Is Preparing Tracks for 1,000km/h Maglev Trains

China has always been obsessed with speed when information technology comes to rail transport. The country is dwelling for some of the fastest trains in the world and it is now stepping up its speed game even further by utilizing the potential of magnetic levitation.

According to recent reports, China has planned to lay maglev tracks in its fundamental province starting early on next year. The authorities are currently conducting feasibility studies for kickstarting the project.

If everything goes as per the plan, a trip from Guangzhou, a city in Cathay to Beijing could be washed at speeds ranging from 600km/h to ane,000km/h which is definitely a step up from the electric current 350km/h speeds.

What's more, Asia Times states that a ii,200-km journey from Wuhan to Guangzhou could exist reduced to about 2 hours. Imagine traveling from one part of the country to the other that could traditionally have virtually ten hours on other modes of transport in just 2 hours. Incredible, isn't it?

The 600km/h maglev railroad train prototype will be hopefully ready for trials in 2020 on a 200-km rails made of vacuum tubes to button the railroad train to its upper limits. Nosotros'll have to wait to see how that goes.

In case yous're wondering, China is not the only land interested in maglev trains. A China Railway Group engineer told a local news outlet that Japan, Germany, and the US are also working on their ain versions of maglev trains.

He even emphasized that China's pb in high railway speeds using conventional methodologies won't give it an initial lead to compete confronting these countries since the maglev applied science works differently. Well, I do concur with that but Prc does have some really fast maglev based trains currently and I exercise recall they have an edge on this.

So, what are your thoughts on these blazing fast maglev trains? Let usa know in the comments.
