Tom Scott: I rode the fastest train

- mikewarot 4y agoCoupling power for everything inductively seems like a reasonable approach. I'd like to visit Japan and take a ride on that train. I've been a fan of maglev trains since I saw future shown to me by the NOVA in 1983[1] [1] https://archive.org/details/TrackingtheSupertrains https://archive.org/details/TrackingtheSupertrains
- adave 4y agopretty interesting that he is on tour of Japan for all the cool underreported tech. Last one was a bus/rail that can switch at a moments notice.
- MaxikCZ 4y agoIm surprised on the amount of bumpiness. I always thought of maglevs as being incredible smooth
- Doxin 4y agoI noticed the same thing! pretty sure the regular commuter train I use doesn't wobble as much for most of the trip, granted it goes a fair bit slower of course. It almost looks like PID controller for keeping the train centered/at the right height isn't tuned quite right, with how regular the oscillations seem.
