To help keep friction down, China's latest superconducting maglev train is suspended, using three types of magnets, in a low-vacuum pipeline to "fly". This generation is designed to reach up to ...

Instead, it features a low-vacuum tube system to reduce friction, which is similar to the Hyperloop design. Maglev trains are ...

A new government initiative seeks to develop the core technology for Hypertube trains, or "airplanes on rails." The Ministry ...

They are all that is left of a bold experiment to create Britain’s first full-sized magnetic levitating train, an experiment ... The dream of a British MagLev wasn’t over, but the 1980s ...

The world's third fastest train is the TGV. This high-speed train was built by the French company Alstom. The speed of this ...

A test by Italian firm IronLev has provided successful examples of how a magnetic levitation train, or maglev, might work on already existing train tracks. This is a huge boon, as the maglev demo ...

In December last year, China conducted the first test run of its Maglev train conducted inside a 2-km-long pipeline with a low-vacuum environment in the Shanxi Province. Jointly developed by China ...

The maglev interior is slightly smaller than the bullet trains now in operation. There are also only four seats to a row, compared to the five now in use in Shinkansen trains. The window size is ...

Maglev trains are expected to connect Tokyo and Nagoya in just 40 minutes, less than half the time of the current bullet train service.
