Shanghai Maglev Full Ride with Speedo - 4K 

This is not implicit for long distances. In some cases it's convenient to connect the city to the airport. In case of munich the airport is very far away from the city center. With the S-Bahn you need over 1 hour! Yes, over 1 hour to get from the city to the munich airport. That's insane. Neverthless Munich abandoned the Maglev project for some reason.

@@yifan91 Yeah they abandoned it because "Never change a running system!" =D This is always the problem here in Germany. Nobody wants to be responsible if something goes wrong. "If you dont change anything, you cannot mess something up"^^

@@alexjoshua2056 This train in particular was invented by german engineers and the first track for it was built here. The technology was sold to China then because nobody here had the plan to build it in Germany for the public transport. This is why I say that Germany is not that great when it comes to technology anymore. Why invent stuff when you never use it anyway? Many german engineers go to other countries because payment is better and possibilities are endless.

Germany is great, from the first joint venture car manufacturer Volkswagen to this and more, Germany has helped China a lot in the past 40 years during the transformation.

@@alexjoshua2056 i think it is fine for most chinese calling it germen train, because every importent technology for this train ist invented by germany. it is like calling iphone as US phone, i think it is fine eventhough iphone is made in china. what we really care is our high speed trains, they should be calling chinese trains, we indeed BOUGHT many technologies from foreign countries and improved them. At the end, we have our technology which is recognized internationally.

you are genius！

big brain

Wanna see how train looks like at 1320 km/h , Watch 2× at 5:10 Edit: if u understood my comment, u r good at *frame of reference* and *relative velocity* in physics

@@mitesh2k3 the faster we travel, the shorter we become

400+ kph in total comfort isn't something one gets to experience on the ground very often.

@@MrJamesbonwe yes it's very smooth

@@MrJamesbonwe Vertical movement is very marginal considering the tolerance is only 2mm or something.

Nah, you can hear it. And feel the shaking.

@@darvinde It doesn't, but feel free to keep bullshitting to someone who has ridden it multiple times.

Okay... Yes Yes Yes. Chinese trains are fast as a bullet. They are glittery. Beautiful. Modern. Hygienic as a bloody military OR. But, I prefer the US trains. Yup. They are creepy fun. On a Chinese train you get from point A to point B in a sneeze. Instead on a US train, they are so slow that you can see how your clothes go out of style. On a US train, you can fall in love, have children and watch them grow up. On a US train you can read Tolstoy's "War and Peace" twice. On the US train you have time to learn another language. U see? US trains are exciting. They are Noisy. Stinky. Rusty. Smoky. Full of Graffiti. With vomits of all nationalities. From Mexican enchiladas to Japanese sushi. The US train is Thrilling like a horror movie. On the other hand, on a Chinese train, you get on, you sit down and Nnnnñit! You have already reached your destination. What kind of shit is that? Did you pay a ticket and for what? Where are the murders, the harassing policemen, the swindlers, the drug addicts, the international spies, the sadists, the psychopaths, the sexually depraved, the Mormons, the exhibitionists...? No. No. No. I rather to risk my life on a US train, but have something to tell my grandchildren.

@@salvadorvizcarra769 dumb

​@@AlbertChang17 am sorry but when I was in train i felt it kinda pulling

LOL

Not the pizza fault, we order a takeout in China also need 10 minutes more😂

Barr Chan oof that sad. But that's the same for mr

no, between airport

Two airports within one city exactly.

German technology 😉

Oh no there is a lot of noise. But it is undoubtably fast.

@BeHappyツ they bought the system from Germany (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transrapid)

@BeHappyツ This one is meglev

I rode it once... unfortunately I was sitting right on top of the landing gear (yes it does have those for low speed). It felt like riding on a pallet left... but yes it was smooth when they retracted it at 180. Yeah so ride it in the middle of the car instead.

😂😂

oh yes I missed that moment, though I watched the video from start till end.

Glad I'm not the only one that jumped at that moment. Lol

I've been on that thing, when the other one passes it is a loud bang, slight shudder and quite scary as you're not expecting it.

have never read the time written like that before (8'18"). it was niice reading it like this lol

A blink happens in a third of a second, and the train passed in about a second. So not really, living up to the blink of an eye, but yes, very fast. I would be interested to see the effect if these were Japanese maglev trains going at their top speed of 600kph.

Sad thing is: That train was invented in Germany like 20 years ago. we still have the test track here but authorities from the german public transport said that it would be not suitable for Germany since this country is too small to get real use from this high speed. years later they worked on the next genereation of ICE trains just to make it faster. German burocracy is hell. We invent stuff and never use it.

Jason Lin China BOUGHT the technology fair and square, and just use it for commercial use, as well as helping civilians. It’s sad there aren’t more working Maglevs in the world, but I can’t help that.

High speed also suitable for tourists want to just experience it... (which is its may purpose now... business people will most likely just take a taxi... or been picked up in their limo)

@@AaronShenghao fuck off

@@mikeletterst9882 why so Rude?

@@osvald860 EDIT: my comment applies to the comment by "I support you", but now I notice Mike Letterst was rude to AaronShenghao... so Mike can f@ck off himself, but I leave my original comment below for the record. Because that guy was doing propaganda, aimed at a US population clueless about travel in the rest of the world. I understand the feeling as I encountered several such trolls. One of them even wanted to convince people that average people now take the long-distance bus instead of the Shinkansen in Japan, even though just the bus seat capacity was a thousandth of the Shinkansen ridership...

@@Daneelro Dude i've read his comment twice and i dont think it involve any form of propaganda since no one know what's your nationality in the first place and i kinda agree with him because many HSR or train enthusiasts would love to travel on HSR just to experience the forefront of technology

No third rail is capable of higher speeds yet.

Oh my god - that’s amazing

Is that JoJo reference??

The MagLev is German Engineered. China bought it from Germany. Germany and Japan are competing but the German one won the eyes of the Chinese

@ Yes, yes, yes, yes yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes all German, but nothing in Germany but getting faster and faster in China, developed and made in China. The fastest commercially operational Meglev train in the whole world is in China, developed and made in China. This video is proof.

@@thetruthseeker5448 Sorry to break it, but... this exact train in the video was made and developed in Germany. We sold it since the maglev topic was abandoned here. There are still a few around in museums and on the scrapyard.

@@thetruthseeker5448 China never made the Shanghai Maglev aka Transrapid. All the technology and I think even the train itself are built/made in germany

yeah my brain refuses to process what it's seeing at 2x...

according to comments its 7-9 $

Penpen this isn’t even its top speed. It’s top speed, I think, is around 600kph. About 372mph.

stig16 yeah, but it’s not recommended with passengers on board. It can go that fast, but the highest RECOMMENDED speed is this, because it can’t decelerate in time due to the track not being long enough. Hypothetically, it could do this, but it would be a LOT riskier, since it would likely crash due to not having enough track to decelerate in time.

@@admirali.a.6175 Japanese Maglev trains are typically faster than Shanghai's. They can reach speeds of up to 600kph, while Shanghai's stands at ~500kph.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up

@@Gibla2077 theoretically it can reach that kind of speed, but due to the short distance of the line, 410kmh is the top speed before it needs to start deceleration for the stop.

u feel nothing if the windows are blocked

You look more like a bus :(

T Jack you don’t even feel the motion on this train. Actually

@@admirali.a.6175 That might cause motion sickness to some people. They can see a lot of movement, but didn't feel it. Same way to some cinemas that features very sharp images that can make some audience sick. The other way around is possible: see no movement, but feel a lot of movement. Example is reading a book while traveling on a rough surface.

So how far has it moved? Mr. Math Teacher?

@@babicomel2469 If we have constant acceleration and deceleration. We can get these numbers: Acc: 180 secs or 10775 m Full: 50 secs or 5986 m Dec: 180 secs or 10775 m Total= 27.5 km Watching the video more carefully, we notice: Acc: (0:38 - 3:47) 189 secs or 11314 m Full: (3:47 - 4:35) 48 secs or 5747 m Dec: (4:35 - 7:56) 201 secs or 12032 m Total: 29.1 km Notice that the maglev would only take 10 mins more if the total distance were 100km

@@BSnicks Thank you, that's really amazing and the maglev is so convenient if you're in a hurry! It also seems better if you're travelling in long distances, not bad even compare to the planes.

@@BSnicks nerd alert.

​@@BSnicks both the acceleration and breaking tails of a bit at the top end. So the real distance is slightly higher. 30.5 km to be exakt.

33km

Nikos Gee wao you were near bro

Nikos Gee You forgot to account for the period of time where the train was running at top speed without acceleration and that caused the average speed to be an underestimation.

magnetic levitation train. It's speeding up using some magnet things

It does not have any wheels. It levitates 1 cm over the track using magnets and uses the magnets to accelerate and decelerate. So you basically have only air friction and no contact with the tracks, allowing for much faster speeds to be achieved with practically zero wearing of the tracks or the train.

It actually has wheels for low speed. But it does levitate off the track using the magnets, eliminating friction, making it so much faster.

very smooth ,better than a car or plane

Very smooth

It is smooth but at full speed around 430km/h there is a bit of lateral bumping. Also, only stays at max speed for a minute or so....still good fun though!

Just like how you felt on an airplane. Nothing.

Would make for a lovely night train so smooth.

31km or about 19 miles

Apparently 32 from another comment on this vid

31 or 32, depends how you round it

The train can go alot faster

Took them about 8 minutes to get to the airport. So about 30 to 40 kilometers?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_maglev_train System length 30.5 km (18.95 mi) Top speed 431 km/h (268 mph)

Shanghai

Maglev : hold my 🧲

Actually, it was originally German technology, but China BOUGHT it fair and square. Today, they use it safely. I am sad however that So few working maglevs exist.

@@admirali.a.6175 That train is a German one. Originally called Transrapid 08, destined to be used at the Munich Airport to Munich Main Station or Hamburg to Berlin Line, that, oh wonder never got realised but our back then newest version of maglev train was sold to china. That Device you can see in the Video was build inbetween 1998 and 1999 in Kassel, Germany and tested at the so called "Emsland Testing Facility". Its maximum operating speed would be 550kp/h. Germany, and especially Thyssen, that holds all rights to that system together with Siemens, still provides aid to the chinese. The idea is 88 years old, also patented by a German named Hermann Kemper in the year 1934. That technology was done research for especially and first with serious attempts in Germany from 1969 onwards. The Transrapid-Series, of which the one in Shanghai is one, started with a shown line at the Hamburg fair amidst the 70s with a destined operating speed of at least and already 200km/h. China is not allowed to sell it, since its a licensed product provided by Germanys Companies, such as Thyssen and Siemens, that hold the rights to it. China didn´t buy the technology they got just licences for the more unnecessary parts of it. The train shown in the video is a German Transrapid 08, build in 1999 in Kassel, Germany, no chinese engineer had build this one and their attempts to rebuild the German original resulted in failings, mainly. They´re not allowed to sell the technology since Germany still holds the rights to all of the technology. But one "fun"fact: In Germany it was sabotaged, in China it runs under the advice of a German-Chinese consortium for nearly 20 Years now. F*ck you GREENS!!! More on: www.magnetbahn.org!
