China Has Been Heavily Investing in Advanced Technology for High-Speed Vehicles and Innovating in Levitation Systems

The new system was tested in the city of Changchun, China, and consists of moving the train using high-temperature superconducting electric levitation.

According to CRRC, Changchun Railway Vehicles, the test conducted on the train allowed for the discovery of conditions such as superconducting magnets, linear synchronous traction, induction power supply, and low-temperature cooling. Those responsible for the technology innovation are excited about the results obtained.

According to the chief deputy engineer and project director, Yu Qingsong, in a statement to the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology, the system is suitable for application scenarios involving high-speed ducts, ultra-high speed, and low vacuum, in addition to being a possibility to improve cargo and passenger transport on trains in the country.

New Technology Could Make the Fastest Train in the World

According to the website Olhar Digital, electrical superconductivity occurs when resistance approaches zero. This phenomenon is essential for the high speed and efficiency of magnetic levitation trains and can be significantly enhanced in vehicles that use electric levitation.

For the engineer responsible for the project in China: “The speed of the train using the electric levitation system can reach 600 km/h. This is considerably faster than traditional rail levitation”. This efficiency is primarily due to innovation in the technology sector.

New Technology Surpasses Current Record

Currently, the fastest train in the world is also operated in China. The so-called Shanghai Maglev can reach speeds of about 460 km/h. In comparison, a Formula 1 car, a sport known for automotive technology, reaches about 300. However, the new electric levitation train presents a much bolder proposal than the current fastest train in the world, although there is still no forecast for when the new technology will be used for mass transportation.

Despite the significant innovation, experts are not surprised by the technology developed in China, given that the country has been heavily investing in the sector and already has over 40,000 kilometers of high-speed tracks.

New Technology Surpasses Current Record

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

After 14 years of construction and a diplomatic crisis that nearly led to a military confrontation over control of the Nile, Ethiopia inaugurated the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa — the dam is 170 meters high, holds 74 billion cubic meters of water, and generates 5,150 megawatts.

A scientific study in the United Kingdom reveals that the human body has an “aging clock” in the blood that can be measured with a common test, and people who age faster biologically than chronologically have a 40% higher risk of heart disease.
