Technology in the Bullet Train

Not seen this before but found it fascinating -

Richard Hammond’s Engineering Connections - Bullet Train

The mag levs are even more badass and amazing!

Cool stuff all the way around though!

MAGLEVS 1st passenger seen as a 20 people car carrier at Birmingham Airport (UK) in the 70’s. running between the airport and the National Exhibition Centre ( a less than 5 minute ride)… They were plagued with probs…like bobbing along and suffering from a power failure which dropped the cars a couple of inches onto the track beneath…quite alarming for the passengers. They persisted with it for years…and finally ditched it. They now have a more reliable version. I used it quite often as the Exhibish centre had a better magazine/bookstall than the airport!!
