Maglev train

リニアモーターカー

りにあもーたーかー

This is the prototype of the Maglev Train, or Linear Motor Car that is being developed to initially run between Tokyo and Osaka. The train has no wheels, but works on the principle of magnetic levitation. It can achieve incredible speeds. However, one of the problems the designers have to overcome is the fact that between Tokyo and Osaka there are many hills, mountains and cities – Mt Fuji for one and that is a volcano. The cost is phenominal, but obviously worth it. It should be noted that China has now got a slower version of this Maglev train. Nevertheless, Japan is still the front runner for this type of super-speed transportation.
