In this three week storyline unit, students investigate a maglev train and the electromagnetic forces that cause a maglev train to levitate and provide the source of propulsion for the train. The ...

China is racing to build a new kind of train that does not just rival jetliners, it threatens to redefine what “high speed” even means on land. Engineers are now testing a magnetic levitation system ...

Floating trains have glided closer to Europe after a pioneering trial of magnetic levitation — aka maglev. Italian firm IronLev, which developed the tech, claims to have completed the first-ever ...

China’s latest boundary-pushing train doesn’t need electricity to run. The country has just unveiled Red Rail, the world’s first suspended maglev train, reports the South China Morning Post. Unlike ...

SINCE the 1960s, transportation industry planners have sought an energy-efficient design for a train that can glide through air at speeds up to 500 kilometers per hour. This type of train, called a ...

The Transrapid in Shanghai has set a new world for commercial railway systems of 501 kmh (311 mph). The maglev (magnetic levitation) train, which has no wheels, axels, engine or transmission, broke ...

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Maglev trains in Japan literally float on magnets at speeds over 300 miles per hour and they're still trying to get off the ground in the U.S. The hope is that they come sooner, ...

The L0 Series train being developed by Japan currently is likely to reach speeds of up to 603.5kmh, making it the world’s ...

China has unveiled a prototype maglev train capable of speeds of up to 372 mph (600 kph). The train has been built by the state-run China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) and following ...

Maglev bullet trains promise a future where steel wheels and clattering rails give way to smooth, floating speed. Yet the reality on today’s tracks is more nuanced, with some systems gliding entirely ...

At 603 km/h, the new maglev train sets a record and changes how distance is experienced. The remarkable part is not just that the maglev train hits 603 km/h, but that it appears completely normal and ...

A high-speed train that would take passengers from Washington to Baltimore in 15 minutes as an alternative to traffic-choked roads would cut through a swath of public land, raising alarms among ...
