Bullet train? Make way for Maglev
Posted on by Kolbe
Japan has been working on greener, faster means of mass transit. They already have the bullet train, which can take passengers from city to city at speeds upwards of 320 km/h. That is impressive, but Japan has outdone itself with their testing of the maglev train. This is a train that is propelled entirely by electromagnets. How fast could magnets possibly be, you ask? The maglev train just broke the world record, coming in at just over 600 km/h! That means this train can run on nothing but magnets and move you a little over one mile in under eleven seconds! Not only is that green transportation, it’s efficient transportation.
