Delhi to Lucknow in 1 hour: This train moves faster than plane, top speed is…, the name is…
New Delhi: China is known for keeping a strict embargo on news about its internal affairs. Whether it is about the government affairs, markets, military or industry. But there is something highly commendable about the country, it keeps on popping up surprises that simply amaze the world. At one time Japan was the global leader of technological expertise but for about two decades, the Dragon has made its mark and, in a way, has left its neighbouring country behind by country mile.
What is China’s latest surprise?
China has just successfully tested one train that rises from the ground and floats in the air and reaches a speed of 620 kilometers per hour in just 7 seconds. It has broken the record of the world’s fastest train. This train is not only fast but also runs absolutely silently and without any interruption.
What are the features of this technology?
Here we will tell you the features of this new technology and why it is making waves. This new train works on ‘maglev’, short for magnetic levitation train. It is a high-speed train that uses magnetic force to levitate and propel itself, eliminating wheel-on-track friction and enabling very high speeds. These trains float above the track using powerful magnets, reaching speeds far exceeding those of conventional trains.
This makes the journey very smooth and comfortable, and the noise is also very low while the train is running. This technology also allows the train to achieve high speeds without spending much energy.
What is the highest speed of this train?
The highest speed of this train is almost same as that of a domestic aircraft. China’s maglev train reaches about 620 kilometers per hour (about 385 mph), which is equal to or slightly less than the cruising speed of commercial and passenger planes.
If we consider the average speed of domestic flights, then it typically falls between 500 and 600 mph (800 to 965 km/h), according to aviation resources. Factors like aircraft type, altitude, and wind conditions can influence the exact speed.
What is vacuum tunnel used for this train?
The Chinese engineers ran this train in a special vacuum tunnel, where there is almost no air. Without air pressure, there is no hindrance in the train running this fast. This is the reason why this train reached a speed of 620 km per hour in 7 seconds. Usually, it is difficult to gain high speed due to wind as it interferes with the aerodynamic movements, but the vacuum tunnel made it possible.
World’s fastest train?
The speed of the maglev trains currently running in the world is 430 to 600 kilometers per hour. This new train of China is faster than that and could become the fastest train as shown by its test running. Also, it makes less noise and consumes less energy. This means that in the coming time, long journeys will take very little time, will be comfortable and environment friendly.
