Why does the world’s fastest maglev train, 603 km/h, start on rubber tires?
Japan’s L0 Series superconducting maglev holds the world record of 603 km/h, yet it begins every trip on rubber tires. Its guideway coils get no power for lifting: the train’s own superconducting magnets, racing past them, induce the current that pushes and pulls it up. Below about 150 km/h that current is too weak, so tires carry it until it floats 10 cm above the guideway.

Before watching, would you have guessed a 603 km/h maglev needs rubber tires? What other fast machine should we explain next?

@WhyLab_3D It's very obvious you are using AI, but in a good way. For illustrative purposes. Still, thank you for properly tagging it with AI. Well done and informative video. A worthy "like"!
Ok
Throwing a train? future
I wish I could see actual visualization rather than this shitty ai slop
I love such UPLIFTING technology. It makes me happy!
I don't know how they could have managed that without doctors and engineers!?
Go Japan. The Kaizen way. Continual improvements.
