China has created a train accelerating to 600 km / h
The Chinese state-owned company CRRC introduced a prototype magnetic cushion train that can reach speeds of up to 600 km / h. For comparison, this train can cross the route from Beijing to Shanghai in about 4,5 hours, and a passenger plane in 3,5 hours.
Recall that the train on a magnetic pad or Muggle, unlike traditional trains, does not touch the surface of the rail. To hold over the roadbed, control and direct movement using the strength of the electromagnetic field. The advantages of such railway vehicles include: low operating costs (due to reduced friction of parts), increased efficiency (compared with traditional compositions), low noise and economical Energy consumption. However, the main advantage of such passenger trains is the high speed, which exceeds that of all existing, today, ground vehicles.
Now the new passenger train is undergoing a testing phase. Serial production of an ultra-high-speed train is scheduled for 2021. It is worth noting that this is not the first Chinese Muggle. In Shanghai, a magnetic cushion passenger train is already operating, which speeds up to 430 km / h, and its route runs between the city center and the airport.
