BOMBSHELL: China unveils 600km/h maglev train electrified prototype that is FASTER than airplane travel Serenitie Wang and Karla Cripps, CNN • Updated 24th May 2019 cnn.com 1/4 New maglev prototype: China has unveiled the prototype for its sleek new magnetic levitation (maglev) train. Its makers say it will be capable of traveling at speeds of 600km/h (about 372 miles/hour). Courtesy CRRC (CNN) — A new floating bullet train capable of hitting speeds of 600 kilometers per hour (about 372 miles/hour) is one step closer to reality in China. On Thursday, the body prototype for the country's latest high-speed magnetic-levitation (maglev) train project rolled off the assembly line in the eastern Chinese city of Qingdao. Developed by the state-owned China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) -- the world's largest supplier of rail transit equipment -- the sleek-looking train is scheduled to go into commercial production in 2021 following extensive tests. Related content Japan tests world's fastest bullet train Those involved with the project are optimistic it will completely transform China's travellandscape, filling the gap between high-speed rail and air transportation. "Take Beijing to Shanghai as an example -- counting preparation time for the journey, it takes about 4.5 hours by plane, about 5.5 hours by high-speed rail, and [would only take] about 3.5 hours with [the new] high-speed maglev," said CRRC deputy chief engineer Ding Sansan, head of the train's research and development team, in a statement. While the cruising speed of an aircraft is 800-900 km/h, at present trains on the Beijing-Shanghai line have a maximum operating speed of 350 km/h. Three years in development China's new maglev prototype is set to go into commercial production in 2021. Courtesy CRRC Maglev trains use magnetic repulsion both to levitate the train up from the ground, which reduces friction, and to propel it forward. After nearly three years of technical research, Ding said the team had developed a lightweight and high-strength train body that lays the technical foundation for the development of five sets of maglev engineering prototypes. So what comes next? CRRC Qingdao Sifang -- a subsidiary of the CRRC -- is currently constructing an experimental center and a high-speed maglev trial production center, which are expected to begin operating the second half of this year. Japan's maglev ambitions Play Video In the 1960s Japan revolutionized train technology with the bullet train. Japan's newest Maglev promises to break world records. China's new prototype won't be the first train to surpass the 600-kilometer mark when it hits the testing track. A Japan Railway maglev train achieved a top spot of 603 km/hour on an experimental track in Yamanashi in 2015, setting a new world record. Japan is now developing a new Chuo Shinkansen maglev line, with trains set to hit top speeds of about 500 kph. The first phase of the project, connecting Tokyo and Nagoya, is scheduled to be completed in 2027 and is expected to cut traveling time between those cities by half.

It has hit speeds of 431 kilometers per hour and is the world's fastest commercial maglev system to date. The project was co-created by Shanghai Maglev Transportation Development Co. Ltd., a German Consortium consisting of Siemens AG, Thyssen Transrapid GMBH and Transrapid International GMBH. While the maglev technology has been developed and touted as the future of train transportation for decades, there are only a handful of countries operating maglev trains around the world: China, South Korea and Japan.

...while POS tRump's SHITHOLD US cuts funding for California's high speed bullet train because OIL & CAR special interests told him to do so... Trump’s love for infrastructure doesn’t extend to California’s high-speed rail project cnbc.com

In Trump’s nervous breakdown in his Rose Garden hissy fit...he inadvertently exposed he was one of the three people Jr. called from the Trump Tower meeting. He said Jr. called him before the Mtg -then two others. . #TrumpMustResign ?@eqhazzard He's caught in a big lie here: Trump told Mueller in his (sworn) written answers he doesn't recall learning about the meeting (either that day or during the campaign at all), and that he doesn't recall speaking or meeting with Don. Jr. that day at all.

His cult doesn't care if he lies, in fact, they love him for lying .. even to them. Lying is SMART in Trumpworld/ And inadvertently admitting he lied during an unhinged tantrum... well, that is GENIUS to Trumphumpers.

Helen Morley@hmorley29 "Dems have no ACHOMLISHMENTS." Hand written by Trump & cannot be blamed on auto-correct or a typing error. I cut people enormous slack for misspelling things, but this level of illiteracy is Stunning & Scary in a President. #TrumpMustGo #TrumpTantrum t.co

Andrea Junker@Strandjunker Can we please all agree that this experiment of having a dumb TV host and shady real estate developer with 6 bankruptcies, 5 kids from 3 different marriages, 11 charges of sexual assault, and 4,000 plus lawsuits as president is not going well at all? #TrumpMustResign

Trump: "I don't do cover-ups!" This excludes: - Taxes - Grades - Bank records - Baldness - Talks with foreign dictators [ His secret talks with enemies of America that no American is allowed to know about is another mark of his genius. Just ask any Trumphumper. ] - Affairs with porn stars and playboy models [ Another massive Trump achomlishment! Every Trumphumper wishes he could have smocking hot unprotected sex with porn stars. ] - Whiteness - Investigations - Visitor logs - Medical records - Conspiracy - Obstruction - Fraud - Laundering - Weight - Truth #TrumpTantrum
