China Achieves a New Breakthrough in Maglev Technology
Recently, in the Hubei East Lake Laboratory, researchers successfully accelerated a 1.1-ton test vehicle to 650 km/h within a distance of 1,000 meters through suspension support and electromagnetic propulsion. Reaching a top speed of 650 km/h with an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 1 second, the secret lies in this newly built high-speed maglev test track that is only 1,000 meters long. Relying on strong electromagnetic boosting and accurate speed measurement and positioning, it can not only achieve "flying close to the ground" but also reduce the speed to zero within 200 meters. Such reliable acceleration and braking control make this high-speed maglev test track an important support platform for China's research, development, and testing of high-speed trains, etc.
