Other than Hyperloop, to achieve speed; thrilling you can & agrave; use on the surface one of the next new generation maglev trains being developed in China, the first of which saw the light in the past few hours in Qingdao, Shandong province. Naturally, this is a small but important piece in the most important part. large Chinese project that aims to build a dense railway network at very high speed, with peaks of up to 600 km/h for these new magnetic levitation trains.
The half of land more & ugrave; fast in the world that, within a radius of 1,500 km, will be able to be preferable to the same plane. Think for example of the Shenzhen – Shanghai route, two megacities connected in various ways and 10 hours apart if you consider a journey on traditional high-speed trains. The same route could be shortened by a lot, even just 2.5 hours of travel with a future line of new maglev trains. There are many technological solutions compared to the old levitation models, with a more advanced braking system; efficient of 30% which will allow & agrave; to switch from maximum speed; at the stop in 10 km instead of & eacute; 16 km.
To develop them & egrave; been the CRRC Qingdao Sifang Rolling Stock Research Institute (CRRC SRI), among other things more & ugrave; important are a new anti-vibration system, a new electrical system and traction hooks. The latter have been made of aluminum alloys which have reduced their weight to just 30 kg and their length to just 280mm, compact dimensions that allow the distance between the wagons to be reduced to less than a millimeter. The new Chinese maglev train will be; configurable with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 10 wagons , each of which will be able to accommodate up to 100 people.
Will I be on board? connectivity? WiFi and 5G
There is still no precise date for the first commercial trip, we will probably see the first 600 km/h maglevs on the Guangzhou – Shenzhen – Hong Kong line and then, subsequently, on the route Shanghai – Hangzhou. The only maglev network currently active remains that of Shanghai which connects the center to Pudong Airport since 2003, but uses German technology and reaches “ only '' the 430 km/h.
