meh :| old news nothing really new, just a grouping of magnets :roll:

Same here mate :?

Thanks TT, that was fucking sweet...8) I can't imagine how cool that would be to see in person...seeing something as big as that going as fast as that is really impressive.

:roll: :roll: :roll: Did you even watch the vid?

Great Stuff TT thanks

I never realized that the maglev's were in the 500 km/hr!! range. Very impressive

Boieng on land :shock: I wonder if these trains under goes the same inspection / safety requirement of a plane.

WOW, i love that train, it looks fantastic and the speed is insane :o

wow that sounds like an airplane flying real low!

Looks better than the veyron thats for sure :lol: but acceleration... dont think you'd feel the same.

see i did but the tech. has been around since like the 80s. yes impressive but its a train and its only able to hit those speed on long long straights. now it is did that one a solar or self propeled drivetrain then i would really be impressed. :) 8)

The most impressive part of the vid for me is seeing the speedometer inside the cabin gaining and gaining in speed so easy. It just keeps on accelerating hard!

Very nice find, thanks TT. Maybe we can start a new section just for train videos..... :P

I've been on the TGV once (long time ago), but nothing fast since then as all the trains here are graffiti covered pieces of crap. :(

From what I've read, the only thing that limits the speed is the wind resistance. There has been talk of a transatlantic underwater version that would run in a vacuum. They are talking about Mach numbers for these things.

BTW, for the records, in the video the Maglev is doing 500 km/h, but its top speed should be 580+ km/h

(BTW, uploading to rapidshare for the ones that can't see googvids)
