The Maglev

 THE JAPANESE MAGLEV TRAIN


The Japanese maglev train Series L0 (A07) is a magnetic levitation railway system developed by JR Central and the Railway Technical Research Institute. It uses superconducting magnets to lift and propel the train, which can achieve speeds of over 600 km/h (370 mph). It is the fastest train in the world, this is much faster than the Maglev trains already operating in Shanghai-China, in South Korea and Germany.

Maglev trains work on the principle of magnetic repulsion between the cars and the track. The word maglev is actually a combination of the words “magnetic” and “levitation.” The magnetic levitation, or floating of the train, is achieved through the use of an electrodynamic suspension system.


The electrodynamic suspension system, which creates a magnetic field that opposes and attracts the magnets on the train’s bogies. It also uses a linear synchronous motor system, which powers another set of coils on the guideway to propel the train forward. The train has a distinctive nose shape that reduces air resistance and noise.

The world’s fastest train is the Series L0 (A07) which was operated by the Central Japan Railway Company on the Yamanashi Maglev Line, in Yamanashi, The train was developed by the Central Japan Railway Company and the Railway Technical Research Institute beginning in the 1970s.


The Japanese maglev train is currently being tested on the Yamanashi Maglev Line, a 42.8 km (26.6 mi) test track near Mount Fuji. It is planned to start passenger service on the Chūō Shinkansen railway line between Tokyo and Osaka in 2027, reducing the travel time from 2 hours and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 7 minutes. 

The Chuo Shinkansen maglev line will link Tokyo to the southern city of Nagoya in 40 minutes arguably making the maglev faster than flying, given the time it takes to get through an airport. There are plans to later extend the line to Osaka. The 16-carriage train will be able to shuttle 1,000 passengers along the 177 mile (286 km) track.

 

Japan has been researching maglev technology since the beginning of the 60’s with a clear goal of creating a super-fast connection between Tokyo and Osaka within less than an hour.

KNOW ABOUT BLOOD STATUS

WHAT IS "BLOOD STATUS"? OUT OF MY PERSONAL INTEREST, HERE I HAVE COLLECTED SOME INFORMATION ON  "PURITY OF BLOOD" FOR THE POTTERHEADS AS SAID IN THE BOOKS OF  HARRY POTTER BY JK ROWLING.    Blood status, also called purity of blood, was a concept in the wizarding world  that distinguished between people and their family trees that had different levels of magically endowed members. As follows;  1. MUGGLE-BORNS: Muggle-born is the term given to a witch or wizard who is born to two non-magical parents. Their magial abilities do not seem to be at all affected by their Muggle parentage — in fact, many Muggle-borns have been among the most powerful witches and wizards of their time, such as Lily Potter and Hermione granger. Muggle-born witches and wizards are often derided by pure-bloods and called disparaging names such as "MUDBLOOD", a term implying that they are somehow dirty and impure. Many pure-bloods believe tha...

Devil's triangle

THE DEVIL'S TRIANGLE: BERMUDA TRIANGLE Hey readers today I am here to speak about the Devil's Triangle. I personally find this concept very spooky and heck interesting.  According to a fan theory, they say there is an "Upcoming God" [with one eye] who is resting inside of the Bermuda Triangle. Let's begin, The Bermuda Triangle, also called as the Devil’s Triangle . It is an urban legend focused on a loosely defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean. The area, has a vaguely triangular shape marked by the Atlantic coast of the Florida panhandle (in the United States), Bermuda, and the Greater Antilles. The first recorded instance of a disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle was in 1840, when the Rosalie, a French merchant ship, was lost with all hands. In 1918, the USS Cyclops, a US Navy collier, disappeared with 309 people on board. In 1945, five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers disappeared while on a training mission. There are many theories about wh...

THE GURUKUL SYSTEM AND WHY INDIAN EDUCATION NEEDS TO ADOPT IT The gurukul system of education has been in existence since ancient times. It was more prevalent during the Vedic age where shishyas [students] were taught various subjects and about how to live a cultured and disciplined life by their Gurus [teacher]. The Gurukul aims to provide shishyas a holistic way of education. The major objectives of the Gurukul System of Education are as follows: Holistic development Personality growth Spiritual awakening Awareness about nature and society Self-control and physical fitness Discipline. The Gurukuls mainly focus on imparting learning to the shishyas in a natural surrounding where the shishyas lived with each other with harmony, brotherhood, humanity, love, and discipline. The essential teaching includes subjects like language, science, mathematics through group discussions, self-learning . Not only this, but the Gurukuls focus was also given on arts, sports, crafts, singing that devel...
