pornlev train... if we collected enough magazines which as we all know when stacked together in a pile create static, this could be used as the bedding for the rail hence the porn lev train + the mags are prob slippery already...eewwww
"We need to digg up all the innerstate highways and replace them all with trains like THESE!"Hehe, reminds me of how to fix the traffic problem in SimCity.
II read another post earlier telling that there was a plan to allow Internet access in those maglev.I often use the Thalys (between Paris and Brussels) and it is fast, and some of the already have wifi access.The TGV never attempted a lot of records, because since 1990, there has been a lot of improvements to this train (more powerful engines, better aerodynamic...), but since TGV is really mainstream, as soon as a high speed railroad is finished, it is used for commercial purposes, no more benchmarks.Too bad...
I remember before this train became a concept I was talking with one of my teachers about this idea, to use high powered electromagnets to provide, amazing speed, and low energy consumption for high speed rails, just merely rotating them based on need for acceleration, deceleration, or a constant speed! Then a couple years later they began work on the idea of such a train, it is nice to see the idea become realized and implemented, though they have been around for a while!
I saw the video of Maglev Train went high speed 500kph. It's wonderful faster than TGV. Oh...wait minutes, I calculator between TGV and Maglev from start to top speed at timer & distance.TGV (France) 0-300km/h in 2m 12s at 6km 0-500km/h in 22m at 166.7kmMaglev (Japan) 0-300km/h in 39s at 1.92km 0-500km/h in 2m 01s at 6.86km (Super quick than TGV)Price for built the railMaglev's rail are very expensive tags price. (Example 10m length cost US$1.3m without bridge cost)TGV are is low price and easy fit the rail plus Power line cable with two single pole (Example 10m length cost US$38,000 without bridge cost.When earthquake can damage the rail or bridge. Who repair the rail taken long a delays.Maglev - Stop ride until done repair in less 4 months process. And more cost repair about US$100m. TGV - Less 7 days complete to ready ride. Less US$10m repair cost.I like that Maglev design is advance speed. But I hard tell you that Maglev are too cost than TGV is cheap. Anyway...

" French TGV did 515.3 Kmh in 1990 "... and has been running at less than 320km/h ever since.
