The Maglev 2000 of Florida Corporation The Japanese vehicles are full size, commercial type maglev vehicles that run on the JR (Japan Railways) u-shaped guideway. Maglev "trains", consisting of up to 14 vehicles attached together, will make the 300 mile trip in approximately 1 hour. Following the completion of their maglev test program at Yamanashi, Japan Railways will decide on whether to proceed with the planned 300 mile Tokyo to Osaka maglev system. www.maglev2000.com /today/today-03.html   (269 words)

The Japan Times Online A test ride at the foot of Mount Fuji on a magnetically levitated (maglev) train is proving extremely popular with curious people who want to experience a ride on the world's fastest train, which runs at a speed of 500 kph. An unmanned maglev has sped to a new world record of more than 550 kph, topping the speed record for conventional trains held by the French TGV, which hit 515 kph in 1990. The maglev floats on a magnetic field, eliminating wheel friction at high speeds. www.japantimes.co.jp /cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?nn20020611b1.htm   (517 words)

The maglev train has been attaining higher speeds with each successive test. www.japantimes.co.jp /cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?nb20031203a1.htm   (738 words)

EXPO 2005 In December 2003, a “Superconducting Maglev” of the Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) marked a world speed record of 581 km/h for a manned railway car on the Yamanashi Test Line. The train, which looks as if it is about to fly out of JR Central Pavilion, is the MLX01-1, the very Superconducting Maglev that was the leading car which marked this world record. The pre-show, which is about 7 minutes long, will introduce the history of railways that led to the practical application of the Superconducting Maglev system. expo2005.org.ua /ukr/pres_centr/newsletters-11   (468 words)

High-speed rail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The world speed record for a conventional wheeled train was set in 1990 by a French TGV that reached a speed of 515,3 km/h (320,2 mph), and an experimental Japanese magnetic levitation train (maglev) JR-Maglev MLX01 has reached 581 km/h (361 mph). Shanghai Maglev Train, a Transrapid maglev capable of an operational speed of 430 km/h and of a top speed of 501 km/h, has connected Shanghai and Pu Dong International Airport since March, 2004. These trains are currently limited to a top speed of 125 mph (200 km/h) although they were designed to run faster—cost over-runs on the track and signalling refurbishment project led to the line being rebuilt with the lower speed limit rather than the 140 mph (225 km/h) originally planned. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/High_speed_rail   (5025 words)

The Japan Times Online JR Tokai plans to conduct the testing in Tokyo as it needs to evaluate the maglev's durability in various weather conditions, something the Yamanashi test track, with its numerous tunnels, cannot provide, the company said. The car, being transported on a tractor-trailer, was scheduled to arrive at Railway Technical Research Institute in Kokubunji, western Tokyo, in the early hours of Wednesday, JR Tokai said. Engineers at the Kokubunji institute plan to place the maglev outdoors to check how the sun, wind and rain affect its body and coating. www.japantimes.co.jp /cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?nb20050921a3.htm   (256 words)

Appendix C: RTRI The Yamanashi Maglev test line, located in Yamanashi Prefecture, about 2-2.5 hours west of Tokyo by train or expressway, was approved for construction in 1989 with management by RTRI and JR. The Maglev line will reduce the transit time from 2½ to 1½ hours, but the cost of a ticket will undoubtedly be more expensive. The issue of ridership is simply a matter of trying to estimate the passenger traffic between Tokyo and Osaka in the future with both the Shinkansen line and the Maglev line being operative. www.wtec.org /loyola/scpa/09_12.htm   (1356 words)

International Railway Journal: Maglev Can Only Be Financed Through Taxes JR Central's target of 20% in excess of Shinkansen construction costs produces the estimated total cost of Yen 5-6 trillion.

American Superconductor aboutUs: Customers Central Japan Railway Company ("JR Central")has successfully utilized AMSC's high temperature superconductor (HTS) wire in a prototype electromagnetic coil designed for use as the lifting component in JR Central's magnetically levitated ("maglev") train system. AMSC was selected as the HTS wire supplier by the Applied Superconductivity Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), which will oversee a power cable project in Lanzhou province and a fault current limiter (FCL) project in Changsha City. Connecticut Light & Power Company (CL&P, a subsidiary of Northeast Utilities) purchased three of AMSC's D-VAR units and related GE equipment to actively manage voltage levels in lines bringing power into the area. www.amsuper.com /aboutUs/customers.cfm   (946 words)

SABCnews.com - sci_tech/science JR Central has said it is prepared to shoulder the operational costs, but it believes the government should pay the cost of building the infrastructure, which is estimated to be $64 billion to $77 billion, or upwards of $128 million per kilometre. Japan's so-called maglev train, which is levitated and propelled forward by magnetic force, is so fast it presses passengers back in their seats as it accelerates to 500 km/h in a little more than a minute. Central Japan Railway Co, the company developing Japan's version of the train, is pushing for a commercial line between Tokyo and the western city of Osaka, a distance that is about the same as going from Washington to New York. www.sabcnews.com /sci_tech/science/0,2172,81802,00.html   (946 words)
