China Debuts 'Floating' Maglev Train That Can Travel At 620 Kmph
China's maglev train is capable of hitting speeds of 620 kilometers per hour. (AFP) China has unveiled a prototype for a new high-speed maglev train that is capable of hitting speeds of 620 kilometers per hour. Created by scientists at the Southwest Jiaotong University, the train has no wheels. Instead, the magnetic levitation train has been developed with high-temperature superconducting (HTS) technology, which uses magnets that allow it to 'hover' above the track, according to The Independent. This makes it look like the train is floating along the magnetized tracks and allows for faster,...
