Why This Japanese Train is Revolutionary

Meanwhile, in the USA, speed bumps need to be ripped up and made again because they were made too high :)

[fitblood]

meanwhile in the uk the train was 20 minutes late and the prices go up by 20% each year

[tristandaries]

I see they took inspiration from Gru’s plane from Despicable Me for the nose

Got to ride this more than a decade ago. They now have a nice museum and visitor center for the test track there in Yamanashi, not far from Mount Fuji.

How is it revolutionary if it has no wheels??

[WanderingExistence]

Meanwhile in America, we poison towns because we don't want to put modern breaks on our basic trains.

I need to buy this so I can get from my room to kitchen faster

[mdhasiburrahman]

Man when you understand this is a very high tech train

[ChrisGeden]

I want a British Bobby to walk up to three of these and say, “LO, LO, LO. What do we have here then?”

[kingofstrike]

sometimes it's also because of cpu bottlenecking the gpu so it's now showing the full performance of the gpu

Although new helium reserves will probably be found, depending on scarce non renewable elements/raw materials does not seem to be a good idea for a mass produced technology. Does not seem to be good enough

[JohnLeopold]

Wonder, can people with implanted pacemakers go on these?

[AVdE]

It's cool technology, don't get me wrong but is it really that revolutionary? Compared to regular high speed rail, it's insanely expensive to construct, operate and maintain. All while having much less capacity and a top speed that's honestly not that much more useful than what we already have.

Well, when the magnetic field is designed to be generated with super conductors, it cant be a "permanent magnetic field". I think this is one of those intentional errors, YouTubers use to juice their engagement dashboard - i mean, look at me, it totally worked.

[kidkique]

If the refrigeration fails is that just like putting on the brakes or does something more catastrophic happen?

[LukaS]

Okay, but why does it looks like a platypus?

[edwardfletcher]

NOT permanent magnetic field at all, it's electromagnets...

[Tsskevik]

If its a generated magnetic field, its not a permanent magnetic field.

[JordanBeagle]

Yo dawg, I heard you like cooling, so I got cooler to cool your cooler

[spkrlre]

That is impressive but also sounds like an insanely expensive investment for anything other than tracks that transfer millions of people constantly.
