🚄 Japan’s superconducting Maglev blasting past at 500 km/h, or about 311 mph, is so fast the reporter can only laugh afterward. ⠀ The footage comes from JR Central’s Yamanashi Maglev Line, where the L0 Series is being developed for the future Chuo Shinkansen. ⠀ Unlike a conventional train, the system uses superconducting magnetic levitation, lifting the vehicle away from the guideway once it reaches speed and propelling it using magnetic forces. ⠀ The train is designed to operate at around 500 km/h, while JR Central previously pushed an L0 test train to a world-record 603 km/h in 2015. ⠀ The reporter seen reacting in the viral clip is Nippon Television announcer Daisuke Fujita, and the footage originally appeared in a 2024 feature from NTV’s Railway Department. ⠀ Watching 500 km/h from outside somehow looks even more violent than experiencing it from inside the train. ⠀ Would you trust a train traveling past you at over 300 mph? ⠀ What are your thoughts? 🤔💭 ⠀ FOLLOW 👉 @hypewhip for...
