@W.A M.P Actually, it depends on where you go. Air travel isn't necessarily faster than high speed trains if you take into account the entire journey time from door to door. Most airports are away from the main city areas, so you need to catch a taxi, etc to and from the airport. And you also need to be at the airport at least an hour before departure for domestic flights. So a 2 hour flight could easily take you 4 or 5 hours to complete depending on where you live and where you want to go.
@W.A M.P Go look into Ryanair cheap planes isn’t just a US thing. Also, the US needs trains for those quick hops that are under 2 hours flight and over 4 hour drive. I mean wouldn’t getting up to stretch your legs be nice on such a quick jump.
Oh yes, this sounds so awkward. 新幹線 is pronounced 'Shin-kan-sen' and means literally "new trunk line" or new mayor line. Despite the meaning for shin = new, this railway system was invented in Japan quite a while ago and is the best and fastest railway system from the last century. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinkansen
'Traveling America by train is already faster than by plane right now' Me: First of all only on the northeast corridor, second of all america is a bloody big country.
Traveling by train is only ‘faster’ over short distances and when you add “ARRIVE TWO HOURS BEFORE YOUR FLIGHT” and baggage claim to the flight time ....and then ignore all of that for the train ride.
China already has 35,000km of high speed railway network. That's more than the rest of the world combined. The Shanghai maglev train is the only commercially operating transrapid system that travels 431km/hr; and has claimed that title for more than than 17 years now since 2002.
@@fleyua7176 well, that is just for show, it has been limited for years. There was some issues around 2006 and since then it normally goes about 300kph. Sometimes they set it lower like 250 and i reviewed my photos and sometimes hits 350. I dont know the reasons but suspect it is related to safety and electricity costs, due to the final station being outside city centre it is not heavily patronized leading to budget cuts. Still I like to take it and I ride this train regularly and any one else can confirm it does not in practice go 430kmh. Same to the SC Maglev, it can go 600kmph but in reality it will not go that fast in operation. Pretty much every high speed rail for day-to-day operation goes less than top theoretical speed
@@happyhappynuts I think they are aiming for 500-550km/h for the Shinkansen Maglev, although they reach a speed over 600km/h. Otherwise what is the point, Shinkansen travels at 320km/h.
@@happyhappynuts I really find it hard to believe that a train can do 600mph that would be far too dangerous unless it was on some sort of modified safer track, that’s just ridiculously fast and also super dangerous.
You should put the speed and distance on screen in metric system. 95% of the world use the metric system. You miss out of viewers. RU-vid is international.
@@relevantstuff7315 Not really. China's Fuxing high speed train can run at 670km/h. But they said when it's at that speed, the rail is too hot so it's not safe.
Italians like fast vehicles but apparently Chinese like them even faster!! I've been on both, and both are world-class. Unlike VIA rail in Canada, maybe one day.
@@happyhappynuts en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail_in_China wrong. "the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway with the world's fastest operating conventional train services." And this is btw the German Transrapid.
@@dasboot5903 Actually the Transrapid was a complete German development. It had even the License to be used as a mass transport in Germany. But nobody wanted to finance a reference line. So they went to China wich build this airport line, under the condition they produce the line parts in China. The trains came from Germany. Guess the idea was to sell more to China but they copied it instead.
It was a trick to get you to watch the vid... such a scam! And I actually appreciated the content. You screwed it up dude! not liking it now, as a result:-(
Well he mentioned the Chinese 'Super Maglev'. As that is planned like a hyperloop train with a evacuated tube around the title is well lets say not completely out of whack.
@@michelguevara151 Its actually a very old concept from the 70th's. The idea is that with speed above 500 km/h the air drag becomes the main problem. So its very easy to think away the air in a tube. Actually you'll need pumps for that granted. But its a considerable easy concept. Elon Musk didn't 'invented' that concept, he only gave it a (new) name 'Hyperloop'. www.businessinsider.com/history-hyperloop-pneumatic-tubes-as-transportation-2017-8?r=DE&IR=T Nothing of these Vacuum Trains is extraordinary physics or Technic. With being faster than a plane this is really a option to think about.

@@julianchung9215 well maybe the government can at least stop letting people take the train for free because clearly people who pay and taxpayers end up paying for them
@@tonyj4435 it's the people, they need more discipline. When I went to Japan they had barriers to prevent none paying customers. Clearly the gov needs to divert some funds to better public trains.
In Australia, we prefer steam engine speed trains. If our interstate trains ( 1980s version of British XPT ) is so advance that when traveled faster than 150 Km per hour, it will derail. Our Australian governments had been telling our constituents that we will invest in building ultra fast train tracks for the pass 40 years. It will never happen within the next 40 years. We like steam train speed because we think it is safer and would NOT distorted our face at speed. In the Australian’s mine, do consider our trains to be the best in the world. .....#?!. The thing is that Australian government must keep the trucks moving, keep consuming diesel fuel, keep the environment dirty, and making sure the freeways are occupied between inter cities.
Since it is being mentioned for all other trains where operator and developer are different, it would be accurate to mention that number 2 (Maglev) is actually a German development (Transrapid) which was brought into a joint venture with the Chinese company and which had been developed in Germany since the 1970s.
Maglev prototype from Germany travels only 300 km/hr. China has developed the speed much faster and better which left all western countries high speed train behind of the track.!!
In Canada, we are planning high frequency trains (more than one train per day) that will exceed 100 km per hour and will probably arrive within a few hours of their expected time of arrival on tracks that will hopefully withstand those tremendous speeds. We are so excited... 😊
So proud that we have inept clown like Trudope ruining our country. We will be happy if our train could attend 100 km/h. We (Metrolinx) recently launched a pilot project of GO Train from London, ON to Toronto, ON travels 250 km in 4 hours.
@@michelguevara151 Japan had attained 603 km/hr while China 620 km/hr. But I am not an expert, just an engineering expat for 20 years in both the US and Asia Pacific until 2018. Then I moved back to help with our own internal environmental challenges. So don’t take my words for it. I still have a lot to learn. You seemed confident so care to share your credentials please?
China has been advanced in the last 40 years in amazing speed. Wondering what it would be like 10 years from now. Tried the Maglev in China several years ago, it is amazing. I bet a lot of people in North America still don't know what Maglev is.
@@DigitalYojimbo Humans all based on previous knowledge, discover, enhance and advance. Do you know that paper and gunpowder are invented by Chinese, adopted or enhanced by the world?
Fun fact... second fastest existing train was developed in germany for huge cost but just dropped in the end. Now we are left with the shittiest train system in europe.
Well... It's seemed pretty average when I've been there. IMHO the german MagLev system wasn't very good anyway. Putting the engine system in the tracks just made it too expensive for normal routes. The Japanese SCMagLev system appears to be more practical (thought still expensive). WhaI'd really like to see in Germany is a high-speed line between Hamburg and Köln. When the Swedish high-speed lines and the Denmark-Germany tunnel are completed it could be possible to run overnigh trains Stockholm-Paris. Take that, airlines! :-D
@Peter Balssuweit "Now we are left with the shittiest train system in europe." - You have NO RIGHT to say that! (No, seriously, you have to live in the UK and commute by train to be able to say that...)
@@davestanton3822 because some workers left a truck on the test track during a high speed testing with people. I think everybody died. But it is sad they've dropped it nevertheless. It could have improved the public transport drastically. But yeah I'm guessing if you have ever lived in Switzerland you won't appreciate other countries publics no more lol🤷🏻♂️😂
What a trash video! Just a few examples: -California's high speed rail is suspended indefinitely and has been since spring 2019. -As others have said, Shinkansen is not pronounced Shinna-kassen. -China's Harmony trains are no longer in production as the newer Fuxing (Rejuvenation) model has been the standard since 2016. Fuxing is faster and has power and USB outlets so we can charge our phones. A much-needed upgrade. -Huawei's 'super maglev' is still only on the drawing board. No certainty it will ever see operation. There's no indication that "Elon Musk is Shocked!" More likely he doesn't care.
If you're just seeking for a thrill ride through hell to go back in time, look no further than the trains in New York. That's if you can even call them trains. Especially if you're feeling nostalgic about the 1800s. I can never forget those lousy and punishing 6:30 am rides on my way to college for my 7:30 am calculus class.
@@shubhampawar9 It’s not so much they’re trying to be unique it’s more like the Boomers think it’ll be too expensive to change because they only ever think about the roads.
Really? I thought Thunderfoot had already killed the hyperloop idea with maths and science. why won't it die? they have to start teaching basic science in D school.
It's like solar freakin' roadways, which just got another $1M in funding in less than 24 hours from idiots buying "stock". As they say, a sucker is born every minute, and a minute later, someone is there to take their money!
Trains are big money losers.. Taxpayers end up paying.. They can't charge enough fare, for the amount of passengers, to pay the expenses. .. It's just another way to scam money off the middle class.. Trains are not managed by the State, only funded.. The company managing the trains makes a bundle..
This is the second video that anointed a new breakthrough of a Huawei product and yet, there's not such thing in the entire video. The first one that i saw ,was related to RVs. I feel like you guys don't have the balls to admit that you're running outta of material . Is disgusting to watch a video expecting to get info in a particular issue just to find out that is not dare.¡ Please stop doing it ! Is of very bad taste to do so. Is fucking spam.
I could have said it in other words: Countries using the imperial system are economically looser nations, but I am bot sure they would agree about that.
Hyper loop make sense for packages and cargo, no safety requirements, smaller diameter loop, much cheaper than airplanes. Imagine ordering an item on amazon from across the country in the morning and receiving it by five o'clock that same day.
What's the point of getting amazon products within a few hours when I cam get the same thing in my nearby mall or sth ? It doesn't improve lifestyle. If I could travel to LA from New York in 9 hours by train - that would be change of lifestyle.
"Since when is Huawei in train business??" Proving a point I made earlier re: Americans, a quick google search found this: e.huawei.com/ca/solutions/industries/transportation
Absolutely fantastic ! I do hope Bharath too will follow suit with such trains for the common man on a different scale of passenger density to facilitate faster travel speeds. We cannot sit on our laurels any more, but must forge ahead using our young technical manpower and so many other people who are leaving the country in search of greener pastures, when there is so much they can do in our own country !
Please remember to get your pronunciation correct! Not only is it embarrassing to to the reader but boarders on the point of insult to that company. It is pronounced "SHIN-KAHN-SEN" !!! THIS IS CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.
As long as Hyperloop doesn't brake the 1000kmh barrier they will loose to the high-speed trains and it looks like the high-speed trains have an edge here. I hardly belive that Hyperloop will brake the 1000 kmh limit to top them all
Hyperloop is a dream, project that is possible in theory but not really in reality and even if it is possible then its so impractical it will never make sense to build it
@@mgecko2959 Even in theory it has major flaws. As passengers get on the pod it is impossible for the pods to be in constant vacuum. When near vacuum mixes with normal air pressure the result is a "wall" of pressure in the loop or tube. Not only can this mean a fatal accident for any moving pod in that loop, it also means that the entire loop can never remain in a stable vacuum. That's where he economics of the project are the final drop, just the amount of energy required to lower the air pressure is practically impossible. Given the fact that they have still not achieved speeds over 400 KMH while maglevs now have a max speed of 600 KMH...Can corrupt individuals please stop wasting taxpayer money on silly projects just because it gets their dicks to twitch?
@@basilmagnanimous7011 uhm no, planes are only a decade or two older concept than hyperloop. Yet by now we have state of art planes that are fastest, safest and most reliable form of transport but dont have anything close to a working hyperloop. One was proven to be not only possible but relatively easy to built and run, other was proven to be the exact opposite, nightmare to built, bigger nightmare to mantain plus extremely expensive and dangerous. If hyperloop problem would be as simple as lifting hundreds of tones in the air it would have been built many decades ago. Problems they have are million times bigger so you comparing those two concepts only shows your ignorance.
@@basilmagnanimous7011 require talent? Like Musk? 🤣🤣🤣 Gtfo dude, you are beyond ignorant, technologies have their own pace of development 🤣🤣🤣 yeah planes in last 100 years developed into absolute state of art transport system while hyperloop doesnt exist anywhere on earth outside of computer generated graphics 🤣🤣 but look im sure that slightly slower pace of development is barely noticable 🤣 Its a dumb idea, you cant possibly build 900km long tube out of metal that will hold vacuum ok, your tube will expand and contract due to temperature changes which will add up to several hundred meters difference om cold days compared to hot days. How do you plan to resolve that? How do you plan to protect it from terrorists? All you need is to crash your car into any section of that pipe and everyone inside on every train will get squashed into a pancake. Or simple hunting riffle, one bullet, entire hyperloop gone. How about the costs? You will need industrial grade pumps every 20 meters along entire lenght of the track, how do you maintain it? How do you make it cost effective and profitable? But hey, your favourite genius (NOT) said he will do it and therefore all his brainless fanboys go around repeating those claims. Look up when he first proposed that idea, how much time have past and what kind of technologies we developed in same amount of time. You will see that in approx same time we built and sent rover to Mars. But on earth we struggle to built a pipe and draw the air out of it
Hmm 🤔 . Hyperloop technology looks like it might be viable on short distances (inside the big cities or close by) . I think it's to expensive to build and operate on long routes. At least for the moment
Acela trains can only travel at 150mph from New York to Boston in only in 3 short bursts due to the lack of dedicated high speed sections. That will not change until Amtrack builds a dedicated high speed line not shared with local and freight traffic.
So, WHY are the ALSTOM trains in Melbourne (Australia), such a complete "load of rubbish - CRAP"? Siemens trains are VASTLY superior! SIEMENS in Singapore - BRILLIANT! SIEMENS in Bangkok - BRILLIANT! SIEMENS in Melbourne - (very much worse than a third world train system) - well these are THE BEST! The useless and 100 year old infrastructure - DOES NOT do these wonderful trains any justice.
Japan is recently building new 500km/h+ track from Tokyo to Nagoya. The max speed the train can ride doesn't mean operational speed. Coz tracks most of the time don't support max speed and for safety reasons it's slower. KTX after N700S felt like a regular train. And difference of 20km/h you will never notice. Shinkansen has plenty of room tho and extremely comfortable. I bet Chinese trains are pretty cool as well.
China has the advantage of size but with the short coming of wide variety of terrain and even climate. Nevertheless bot helped China achieved longest railroads and enough knowledge to build literally anywhere.
This brings a new open opportunity to big cities that just can't expand due to their location, for local workers who can't afford high ass rent. We should really focus this on the working class to areas that are cheap , and can bring them to overcrowded cites that are still starving for workers, and yet can't expand.
Travelling America by train is already faster than by plane right now?! In WHAT imaginary alternate Universe have YOU been inhabiting?!? lol That's probably the single most inaccurate opening statement in a RU-vid video I've ever HEARD! 🤣 (And I've seen ALOT of RU-vid videos lol believe it or not.)
I wish there was a way to avoid the vacuum tunnels. With air resistance as the problem, you'd think they could maybe design something like a very specialized kind of lead car or device with powerful turbines etc that would ride just ahead and create a low pressure zone. I'm sure though they've considered all possibilities. Who knows, maybe with AI and/or quantum computer generated possibilities they could create something on a molecular level that would travel just ahead and negate the action of wind resistance.
Because it works in fantasy, computer generated videos and convinces all kinds of fools and nerds...They don't need a solution, they need something that sounds cool on paper with words like "hyper", "ultra", or "cyber" (Elon Musk, anyone?). If they really wanted a solution that can be easily achieved, it's called aerodynamics. In fact all the reasons named for the insane (claimed) speeds of the hyperloop are the result of changes in aerodynamics and friction. Cars can generate downforce and planes that weigh tons can literally fly...aerodynamics *Air resistance* It's no science fiction of any kind that as trains have gotten faster the drag coefficient has gotten lower. A lower drag coeffiient (cd) means there is less air resistance on the object and thus the object can move faster through the air. Vice versa trains can be fitted with "air brakes". For example at high speed (400 KMH) the tiny rear wing (1,5 m) of a Bugatti Chiron generates an additional 900kg of weight (downforce). Imagine what a little bit of research and development into these air brakes can mean for trains. *Weight and friction* What is the easiest way to make any vehicle faster? Make it lighter. What is the idea behind maglev and why is it faster than a train? Less friction Wings can do both at once...yes wings. Because any lifting force you generate with wings lowers the perceived mass of the train, in addition this would mean far lower friction on the tracks. Install wings on trains --> Increase speed by >20% + lower impact on wheels and tracks + energy saving Install air brakes on trains --> Decrease stopping distance by >20% + lower stresses on brakes + energy saving Fixed it
Automobile companies back in the day bought out all the rail companies and then tore out all the rails. America is about as friendly to trains as Yogi bear is to Picnic baskets.
Well, the Cal High Speed Rail has a lot of challenges to overcome before the LA to SF is realized. The mountains (4000+ Ft.) between LA and the central valley have a number of earthquake faults, 4 or 5, so any thought of tunneling has been placed on the very end of the back burner. You should check the facts. And for a few other reasons, like lawsuits, our HSR is going nowhere fast. Thank Horus.
according to Elon Musk, tunnels are safer during an earthquake, just like the ocean with high-amplitiude waves passing overhead, but deeper in the water, the waves are much smaller.
The Shanghai Maglev trains were developed and built by Siemens, Braunschweig, Germany. I recall in about 2002 to 2004 doing many technical translations for the system from German to English for the Chinese authorities. The technology involved was absolutely mind-blowing (particularly for ensuring train-distancing) and even today can hold its own. MsG
it's been on the "proposed" list for engineering projects since the 1970s. It's hideously expensive to implement but would be be trivially capable of Mach2+ once built and would render air travel largely obsolete even if the routes might be longer than a direct flight (trunk tubes might be running at mach 4-6) NB: Shanghai Maglev had to be slowed down because of noise complaints by teckside neighbours. It only runs at full speed around lunchtime and the rest of the time it's at 75% (on a 7 minute trip that's not a big deal). The Japanese maglev shinkansens are having similar problems with noise mitigation The only way to make it viable at long distances is to make it capable of cargo, which means it MUST take 40-60foot ISO standard 1496 shipping containers (which means a bore large enough to handle modules carrying these containers) - power cars aren't an issue as all these systems use external powering (You need to use existing containers as repacking into LD-style containers would drive costs up beyond viability - it's the "wagonload vs containerload" rail conundrum (rail is only economic when shipping containers, not packing wagons. Aircraft are mostly still in wagonload mindsets) To make it safe, modules need to be able to entrain and separate in-transit, else you need stupidly large spacing
@@pauljmeyer1 the energy requirements are considerably lower than those of driving a maglev at 500km/h in an atmosphere Vacuums are surprisingly easy to maintain at low energy expenditure when you're talking 2-100 Pascal pressure, not 'space'
1.5 km ? The French TGV has 3 km as smallest radius for curves at 300 km/h. If you want to give your passengers a bit of comfort I think 20 km radius is an absolute minimum.
Hope that Huawei and other Chinese organisations will bring revolution in transportation sector.I would be happy to see conventional trains in free guage trains upto 1676 Braod Guage system and new high speed double decker sleeper and tourist rakes and Maglev high capacity and hyperloop high capacity capsules.All the Best.
