Japan’s Shinkasen Maglev: The Fastest Train in the World 🚄⁠ ⁠ The SC Maglev is Japan’s groundbreaking superconducting magnetic levitation train, developed in the 1970s by Central Japan Railway Company and the Railway Technical Research Institute.⁠ ⁠ Unlike traditional trains, maglev technology uses powerful magnets to lift the train about 4 inches above the track, eliminating friction. Once it hits 150 km/h (93 mph), it begins to float — allowing speeds no wheel-based train can reach.⁠ ⁠ In 2015, Japan’s maglev set the world record at 603 km/h (375 mph), faster than the maglevs in Shanghai and South Korea. This same tech inspired innovations like Tesla’s Hyperloop, making the ride ultra-smooth and incredibly safe.⁠ ⁠ 📽️ Video by: Gabriel Jung⁠ 🤳 Click our link in bio to sign up for our daily newsletter⁠ 📰 Follow us for the latest Asian news NextShark⁠ ⁠ #maglev #japanesetrain #bullettrain #magneticlevitation #traintravel #railinnovation #engineering #transportation #futureoftravel ...
