Jun 6, 2023 - Unbelievable Technology: See the Magic Behind Maglev Trains
Shanghai Maglev is currently the fastest commercial train in the world. It has an operational speed of 270 miles per hour and completes the 18-mile journey from Shanghai to the Pudong International Airport in just 7 minutes and 30 seconds. But it is nowhere near the fastest tested train in the world. That honor belongs to a Japanese Maglev train that can reach 374 miles per hour. What makes these trains faster than their traditional counterparts? It’s the power of magnets.
